How to remove self propel gear on toro lawn mower?

Our self propel toro recycler 20138 20016 lawn mower is running very well except the self propel stopped working, so I went through the diagnostic process and concluded that the wire properly ingages the self propel and the belt properly turns the self propel pulley, but both the gear turned by the pulley and the gear on the axle are worn down. So I have taken the axle off of the lawn mower to try to get the gear off (I removed all of the clips, washers, wheels, height adjusters, etc. too) but I can't get the gear on the axle off due to a pin holding it on. I've been hammering at this thing for hours and it wont come out, is there some special way I can remove this pin, or is it part of the axle and can't be removed or what? I'm hoping to not have to buy a new axle but rather just the two new gears because I'm trying to save money doing this but if need be ill buy the bew axle I guess, and I may need help removing the other gear attached to the pulley, or I may not, I just haven't gotten to it yet because of this pain in the neck axle gear. Thank you for your help!

What is a good push lawn mower for tall grass?

Jason

I want to get a nice push lawn mower that is eligible to cut lawn grass. My lawn is really long I can't wait any longer to cut it, so I need to buy one today! I was looking to buy one of these at mabe Homedepot or Lowes.

Anything you can recommend would be great. I have budget of 300$ so please keep it around that.

any good gas lawnmower is okay. just cut at highest level and re-cut till you reach the height you want..
