Help with a conquest please

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Hello guys, I’m currently stripping a Ransomes Conquest and have hit a bit of a snag, hopefully only one as it’s pretty much in pieces.

i will add photo at end of message but for now a brief description,

either end of cylinder shaft are two brackets, these look like two pieces joined together with what I can only think is concealing a washer/split pin or cut lip arrangement holding bracket onto spindle, now it looks like someone previous has tried prising these apart but  not sure if this is right as the opposite end of bracket is a lug going through both parts, has anyone tackled these brackets before and how did you go about getting them off cylinder. Help greatly appreciated, other end of cylinder to photo holds spricket and bearing housing so I’d like to take a look at condition and oil before reassembly, will make sharpening cylinder possible too
