stevebo-(Moderator) 8,538 #1 Posted April 20, 2015 Anyone use the non greaseable bearing for the mower deck spindles? I have a new set I bought. I was thinking maybe pull the inside dust cover off and make them greaseable. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,177 #2 Posted April 20, 2015 I converted the last deck, a 48", I rebuilt to sealed bearings -- I had 2 prior mowers/decks off other brands with those in them and one, a Yard Man, I used the crap out of and never had a problem with them over 22yrs use, changed 2-3 out when a spindle would fail and they felt marginal. I've long had a hang up about pumping most of a tube of grease in the cavity. Grease doesnt 'flow' and the only way to get it in to the balls is under pressure. I've used the deck I converted 2-3 times, but it'll take til the end of the mowing season to probably see if they hold up - I have great faith that they will do just fine...

buckrancher 2,694 #3 Posted April 20, 2015 I have done that Steve no problem but you need to remove both sides from the bearing as the grease pressure will push them out anyway Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
