I would keep bringing my zero turn in to the shop every January for new blades, belts, change oil, air cleaner, but now I have an oil leak from the motor (450 hour) which they are telling me is not worth fixing (its only 4 years old but I cut a lot of yards with my rental property) so now I just keep putting in oil when its low. its a 600 charge every year so I am going to tackle it this year thanks for the for the video.
2 years too late , but if you need to get a pressed on bearing off again just grind it off . doesn't matter if you nick the shaft a little . freeze the shaft before hammering new bearing on .
You can’t go wrong with OEM parts . I have a Husqvarna lawn mower but not a zero turn . I get my blades from the dealer and they are actually cheaper from him . I need to do a drive belt and deck belt on mine this winter also . Good video . Hope y’all are doing well . Del
Sometimes its more cost effecient to replace complete assemlies that trying to piecemeal parts back together. Old spindle towers may have a little slop in the bearing cup too. You did good!

Good luck on it and depending on where the oil Leake is there, usually not bad to replace a seal or a gasket

That is a great suggestion. I will probably rebuild a different deck this winter and will definitely do that.
Thanks
You should have sprayed those spindle bolts a day or two before you put the impact on them. I use PB Blaster or Kroil.
Probably so - good point

Thanks- it’s been a good mower
Does the new spindles come with sealed bearings or will they take grease?🤔
I did not open it up, but it will say those first spindles probably lasted 15 years so whatever the case they work pretty well
He got orange spray paint
Does not everyone have orange spray paint
Where did you buy your deck?
It came off my mower had a purchase in 2008
