squonk 43,808 #1 Posted October 30, 2011 Started mowing for the 2nd to last time this year and heard a rattle in the deck. Got off and found the center drive pulley flopping around. You can put about 5 keys in the key way!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,808 #4 Posted October 31, 2011 No spare deck and pulley and shaft are pretty wallowed out. I'm off to the boneyards and dealers tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,808 #5 Posted October 31, 2011 Went to a dealer today. He pulled out the parts without looking them up. Got the different design spindle and pulley that doesn't use the key. No one had used without buying a whole deck. This wasn't cheap but at least it came with all new bearings and all assembled. Just bolt in and go. At least I don't have to worry it anymore. I can use my old housing as a spare once I press every thing out. Bearings were going south in it too anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
