"42" Rd mower deck ?

Recommended Posts

608KEB

I have a "42" RD mower deck model #78350. I'm going to motion industries for new bearings. Part # 109966. Is this # superseded to a new bearing #? I also wanted to get O rings. Part # 971015. Is this something I can get at a local hardware store? What I thought was a bad bad belt, was 2 bad bearings. I hadn't used the deck much. When I did, it was making a light knocking sound. I inspected the belt. I thought it was bad. 2 of the 6 bearings were bad!! The deck also had 2 cracks in it. By the carriage mounts. Welded it up. Also welded a few beads along the rectangular plate underneath.

109966 is still a good number. 

Should be a common 6203 bearing  (17mm x 40mm x 12mm)

 

Local o-rings should be fine but don't know the size required.

You went all the way fixing that deck, should be good for another thirty years when you are finished. I have always had great luck going to NAPA, just take in the old parts and they will come up with a matching part if it exists.

I don't think the O ring really does much anyways if you can't find them.

 

Deck and spindles look to be in real good shape. A little paint and it would look like new.

Looks like exactly what I did last fall-including the welding.  I used high quality sealed bearings and removed the zerks and replaced them with a set screw.  If you put too much grease in them anyway you would blow out the seal on single sided bearings

Thanks guys, I agree Cleat. I don't think the O ring does much good. They were smashed. There was nothing left of them. I found a couple more cracks around the right spindle mount opening. The bearings had grease in them.  I thought 22 years and about 700- 800 hours on the deck isn't  to bad.

      What’s the correct v-belt size for a xi drive belt connecting to a 60” deck?  
       
      Just shredded mine today.

      Gentlemen,
       
      I’m having trouble with getting my deck to raise up and lock and I think it might have to do with the deck being incorrectly set up. 
       
      Based on the picture, does my mower deck look incorrectly positioned? That is, should the pivoting support bar be positioned above or below the wheel support pin? 
       
      Brian

      1995 Toro Wheel Horse 60” mowing deck. The deck is in decent shape but has been used. There are some repairs that have been made by the prior owner (not me). This deck would be really good for a working tractor and not a show piece. Comes with all the tins, mule drive, mule drive belt, new left and right front anti-scalp wheels and the manual for it. The only thing it is missing is the main belt for the deck spindles. I am located 45 mins NE of Indy. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message.
