YT3600 Separate Engine from Drive Shaft?

Has anyone got any thoughts on how to get the two apart?

After undoing the clip on the rubber cover, the splined shaft should easily pull out of the engine.

Assuming you are removing the engine, when you are ready to move it just pull it forward and the shaft will come out.  Otherwise if the engine is staying put, loosen the floor pan (and if needed remove the perforated metal fan protector) and disconnect the drive shaft at the fan boss, once it is free pull it back out of the motor.

Exactly as you said thank you.

I am taking out to replace the Starter motor....I have a spare one....But does anyone know where you can get the brushes so i can keep one as a spare? The e bay link shows one that looks the same size but cannot be certain. Has anyone done this and know where to go and what part number to ask for?

Stuart,
 Check this link for the part numbers of the brushes...think I found them!

At least you could cross reference them, or possibly order from them?
