Scored a 48" deck with good bearings

Recommended Posts

I got a solid deck with good bearings for $80. I bought it from a repair shop. I tried turning a blade, and it was noisy and binding. I said it must be bad bearings. The guy took it personally and swore the bearings were fine or he'd through the whole mess on the scrap heap. We too the cover off, and it turned out the idler pulling had gone off it's bearing. He pulled a new one out of stock for no charge and wham bam, bobs your uncle, I have  a solid deck. Looks rusting on the surface, but solid, no rot.

Good decks are getting harder to find.If taken care of they will last a long time.Just keep the underside clean and an eye on debris build up under the belt covers.I have a 42 that has more rust from the top than the blade area because of the guards.
