42" Side discharge 5-1011 K spindles

[Redstriper 0]

So I am a brand new member who has used the info here many times before, and finally joined.  Just bought a 414-8 today, and currently have a 310-8 as well.  I also looked at a 5-1011 42 inch side discharge deck today as well.  The two outside pulleys were cast iron and were stamped with a K, and did not have grease fittings on them.  I have tried to look for parts diagrams, but have been having a hard time.  One of the spindles is making some noise, however there does not seem to be any play, and it does spin freely.  My question is are these spindles serviceable, can I repack the bearings with grease, or are replacement bearings available.  I have a 42 and 36 rear discharge decks, but do want to add a side discharge to my arsenal.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Here is the parts manual, hope it helps.

Added this page to the 5-1011 file above. K was the original spindle with V & W being replacements.

Thanks all.  I think that the bearing is a sealed bearing, and a replacement (equivalent) should be able to be had.  I appreciate the help.
