I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. czcams.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Great job, best video I've seen! Right to the point under 5 minutes, other people would have been 15 to 20 minutes and you covered everything.
Thanks I try to get straight to the point
No body shows where to put that little washer but you, thanks this is what l was searching for
You're welcome
Great video, Dave. I need to change a spindle on my father in-law’s mower and this was just the information that I needed. Thanks!
Thanks and you're welcome
Thank you Dave this tutorial made life so much easy. Ran over a piece a rebar busted the spindel, I was back pushing the old lawn mower kinda brought back some memories of the old days lol. With this video im glad them memories faded quick if ubknow what i meanThanks again. I bought mine of Amazon ran about $30 hope it lasts
Glad it helped 😊
You have a gift. Quick to the point, thorough. Subscribing!
Hey Dave - thanks so much for this great video! I ran over something and had to replace. Short sweet and informative! Thank you for not making this a movie - a long damn video! Take care!
You're welcome
Appreciate the video. Great step by step. Only thing to add is that you should have something to vertically lean the deck against to make the spindle install easier.
Also, if you’re replacing a side spindle (like I was), don’t forget to reseat the belt before you put the shroud back on. Otherwise, you’ll be pulling the deck back out again after putting all the cotter pins back on…not that I did that, but I did.
Helpful tip before you put the new spindle on put the nut on knock out the spindle shaft from the top it will drop out take the inter plastic washer off the bearings then Insert the spindle shaft back into the spindle housing from the bottom add High temp Grease . Removing the plastic washer from bearing Allows grease to reach the bearing rollers makes everything last longer. And yes if spindle housing is still good but the spindle shaft is bent or bearing went out you can just replace the shaft or bearing keep from replacing the whole assembly and save money a time
Thank you! Super helpful
Excellent video, clear and simple. Thank you
You're welcome
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks!
You're welcome
How do I get the nut back on top the pulley with out it spinning ? Holding the pulley doesn’t work.
That's what I was hoping to see.
Superb video! ..happens to be the exact mower I have! Thanks!
Thanks and you're welcome
Dave, thanks, brother, for the video!
You're welcome
thanks, great no nonsense video
You're welcome
Got me fixed up. Thanks for the video
You're welcome
A whole lot of extra work taking the deck apart, there is no need to take the deck off. Raise the rear of the tractor with a jack on the tail hitch or run it up car ramps, chock the front wheels you are off to the races, done it a dozen times never an issue.
But by doing it this way, I can film it better
@@davethewoodworker1043 That makes sense, sorry for nit pickin. I used to remove the deck for a snow plow and it aint no fun. Thank you for the video
@@miked7350 you're welcome
Also thank you, I sent vid to help nephew.
I did what you said took about half hour .thanks for making it easier. I have another problem if you could help. I have a spark on spark plug wire but when I put new spark plug on end of wire checked it against body no spark comes through spark plug. It was running fine before it quit. Plenty gas coming up carburetor.
Make sure blade switch is push down
Great video Dave, any recommendations when the spindle mounting bolts don’t loosen up?
@@stoneywilliams1209 spray some pb blaster on them
Plus you could hear them up with torch
@@davethewoodworker1043thanks for the input Dave, having a hard time separating the spindle from the pulley wheel, tried the hammer method
Nice trick by using the nut to remove the pulley
Thanks
Good job, thanks for the video!
You're welcome
Great job!
Good video 👍🏼I needed something like that so I can change mine
Thanks
I was trying to replace the blade, but i snapped the head of the blade bolt off. If i buy a new mandrel assembly, how can i remove the top nut without having a blade to hold on to? I tried using extractors to get the bolt out. But that didn't work at all. I don't have an impact wrench or fancy tools.
Break the aluminum spindle and use pliers or vise grips to hold the shaft
Hello I recently removed mowerdeck from tractor to replace broken spindle and I lost hardware to re mount cutting deck to tractor. What parts do I need to reconnect the mower deck to tractor ??? Please help 😢😢
Thank you very informative, now i can do my own!
You're welcome
Great video man! Helped me alot!🤘🏽🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, glad it helped
Thank you!
You're welcome
Very helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome
Everything worked until I started to pull the deck out but there was a wire connected that prevented me from doing so. It ran all the way up into under the hood and hooked up back in the middle in front of where I took the pin out and then connected to a wire on the other side???
I don't know what a wire would be hooked up too, unless they changed something on newer models
awesome -thank you
You're welcome
My bolt keeps spinning. The spindle underneath is completely stripped out. I’ve tried holding it with vice grips and am using an impact gun. I guess I’m just SOL
Shucks - me too :(
Same thing here :(
Thanks for the instructive video! I notice you didn't use a threadlocker agent when attaching the spindle to the deck. I would have thought this would be worthwhile, given the vibration involved. I can imagine the bolt working its way out. Is there a good reason NOT to use it that I'm missing? About to do mine.
Thanks, well I replaced a bunch over the years. Never once had one to come out, but you can add some
Much obliged!
Great video!
Thanks
Yeah try doing it after all 4 points that hold the spindle to the mower deck break
Yeah that's harder
When putting in the grease, I pumped and pumped but no grease ever came out the “other side” as you say. Where exactly does it come out?
It usually comes out around the bearing, or around the grease fitting
Most of the time these spindles come with sealed bearings and the grease will sit on the seal. The spindle needs opened up and the inner bearing seals need removed.
Thanks!
You're welcome
How many hours of Labor are involved in rebuilding pool deck Husqvarna 24/48
Full deck. I was charged for 4 hours labor.
1-2 hours. Really should be 1 hour for anyone that knows what they are doing.
the spindle housing is broken it needs to be replace
new blade
Most if not all of these greasable spindles have a sealed bearing on lower side so no grease goes in lower bearing from zerk. The fix is to disassemble the spindle, remove cover on inner/top side of lower bearing & hand grease its lower bearing then or reassemble then fill the assembly with grease via zerk.
Idk why both sides of the lower bearing has bearing covers in a greasable spindle assembly but they sure do? The lower bearing is what fails most times too.
good job,would of been worth your while to sharpen blades as well:)
Good share man. How long did this take you overall to replace the spindle? I’ve got the LGT 2554. Hoping to find a single spindle for sale, just broke my one side of today. Please let me know whenever you get a second.
It varies, I can replace the outer ones, without taking the deck off. If you have a Rural King near by, they usually have them in stock. But I have bought a few off EBay. I would recommend having 1 as a spare on hand
Where do I purchase a replacement spindle? Thanks!
I ordered mine off of EBay.
I mow my grandparents lawn with one of the bigger ones of these, idk a 750 cc engine or something. Anywho, i brought it back home (very close, just drove it) mowed some and BOTH spindles sheared/cracked off and both blades ruined. Noticed the grass wasnt shooting out so i checked. They went and got spindles at a local spot which just gave me the casing....no bearings no actual ''spindle'' aka where you bolt eveyrthing on. The old bearings are gonna be ruined coming out and the spindle, how the blade indexes is all boogered up. Sad paying 35 or so dollars per spindle to get 1/3 of what i need. Ebay ect could have it in a few weeks,a bit too long though. Always time that is the factor
We have a Rural King here, they usually have them in stock. But they are cheaper on eBay. I usually keep a spare now, just in case
I have also just swapped out the bearing and spindle from broken ones to new ones
@@davethewoodworker1043 Thanks for the reply, yeah it's my grandparents ride on, but i might see about getting a spare atleast. I got no problem changing it by any means just getting parts yeah. Gonna check another spot tommorow. Basically everything in them was trashed, besides possibly the bearings. Thanks
Dave, I think I can do it without taken the blame deck completely off Dave.
You can on the outside one's, but I took mine off to show a better view for camera
what is the name of the deck spindle?
Are you talking about brand name?
Some call them spindle assembly
@@davethewoodworker1043 brand name
@@francislang5075 it doesn't matter, all made in China. I bought some off eBay and some local
