What is the torque needed for pulley spindle bearing preload in a 42 inch sd mower deck?

Recommended Posts

mikekot3

I am replacing with new spindle assemblies of my model 78345 mower deck. I am unable to find in the manual section what the torque needed to preload the pulley to spindle

bearings under the protective covers on top of the mower deck.

I found the torque required for the blades to be 80-120 lb ft in one of the manuals here.

Please advise or tell me which manual it is found in.

Thank you,

Mike

The 05-42MS04 deck uses the same bearings so suspect the spindle housings are identical but have never compared all the housing assembly parts. There is a handy chart on all the different spindle assemblies 1969-1989 so the last Z page gives you the torque specs. The Z bearings are metric OD and ID.

Click on the small grainy photo and it will enlarge so you can read it.

 

Noticed this service bulletin also comes up

Hello Gary,

Thank you for helping me find the information I needed. I now know to torque the pulley to spindle bearing nuts to 50-90 ft lbs.

      Lot's of fun to clear a sidewalk in one pass or driveway in just a few.
       
      I have the manual, belt and attachment parts that go with it but are not pictured. All are in good working order.

      I thought I'd circle back and see if I can fix a 42" deck (05-42MS05) that came off of one of my previous tractor purchases. I got the blades off and the bottoms of the spindles look good, and it needs some metal welded on where the wheel height adustment bracket bolts on. No big deal.
       
      The problem I'm having now on this deck is that I can't get this one spindle off. I haven't gotten the others off either, but they seem to be fine. This pulley is flopping around and obviously needs help. I've tried heating it with a torch after spraying it with penetrating spray numerous times, and it won't budge.  At this point, I'm thinking that I'll just need to grind it off, right through the spindle shaft, unless I can successfully cut through the thick ring without damaging the spindle shaft. If I have to grind through the pulley, it probably doesn't matter because I think it's shot already. Anyone have any other ideas?
       
      One question:  Is that thick ring supposed to be part of the pulley? This one is detached and the pulley spins freely (and sloppily).  Assuming I'll need to buy a new pulley, but was hoping not to have to buy another spindle shaft also. I did take the grease zirk off and have hammered on the top some, but only with a block of brass in between. It could already be damaged there.
       
      The picture doesn't help much, but here it is:
