Let's talk about mower decks

[wh79d160 52]

No snow, hasn't even rained here in over 2 months. Just as well work on my mower deck that I just wanted to change the belts on a couple months ago. One of the spindle shafts is bad. One of the needle bearings dried out(before I owned it) & ate some grooves in the shaft. Anyone have a manual for this deck? I down loaded the manual motherload that was posted a while back, But I don't have one for the 62. I know those decks all look alike but in the manuals I do have, they list 3 different shafts. :ychain:

Do you have a model number off the deck? It's have parts decks and digrams just need to know which done you have.

Tom....send me a pic of the deck, I may have some parts for you.

Does it look something like this?:

Or any of these? Perhaps the shaft you are looking for is part number 4120 - Blade Spindle in the 1962 or 63 manuals.

1962 - RMR-3661

1963 - RMR-323 (the one TT listed above)

Ok, I got some pics & found a serial # but no model #.,, There is a NOS shaft # 7895 on ebay but that 4120 seems pretty comon. Terry, that deck does look like mine & Mike, haven't had a chance to look thru your pdf files yet ,but I plan to. everyone for your & effort.

I would say I have a RMR3262. No shield in the front & therefore I need a 4120 shaft. P.S. Tyson. When you headache goes away Go Huskers, let's figure out what deck you have.

The A-37279 looks like a 1963 serial number so it may be a RM-323 or RM-363 depending on with of cut. These use the 4120 spindle.

Just out of curiosity I added up just the availible parts that were listed in Terry's

link and came up with a grand total of $1184.98.

Is there something wrong with this picture?
