- In this video I install the Bushing to Bearing conversion kit for John Deere models D100
D120 D130 D140 etc..
This conversion is performed on a John Deere mower but is about the same for any bushing to bearing kit out there for riding mowers.
I show how to convert the supplied bearings from sealed to greasable
I installed this John Deere bushing to bearing conversion kit to prolong the life of the front axles and honestly just because I think it's a cool product. I am very satisfied with the product and highly recommend it (and it's very reasonably priced).
Neither of these are affilliate links (I don't make anything if you buy these)
Here is the Amazon link to the regular bearing kit like the one in the video: amzn.to/3bDReXz
Here is the same kit with bearings for the steering spindles. I haven't tried this yet but I plan on it because it seems like a really cool idea: amzn.to/3dnh0jc

A 3/8" socket extension works great too. That's what I used to do mine. It's a great mod. I left the seals in.
Like I said at the end of the video I think leaving the seals in is the correct choice as those bearing spins so slow the sealed ones will last way longer than the mower ever will 👍
Good vid on bearings instead of bushings.
Thanks 👍
How about a socket extension
Why couldn't you use the old bushing to install the new bearings As it's outside diameter should be the same?
Honestly I think that would work fine and I can't tell you why I didn't do that..probably just didn't think about it!
I have a S170, just wondering if same bearing conversion kit will work for my mower.
I'm almost sure they do...i believe it's a 5/8 axle. I would look on john deere parts site and see if the front wheel assembly has the same part#. I did look at a couple listings and the s170 WAS listed it just doesn't show up in the description (but if you look at details of the listing on amazon it lists 50+models it fits).
This is a fantastic demonstration of using the proper tool for the job! Unfortunately, you left out the part of about what is the correct tool after demonstrating what not to do!
The plastic handle on a screwdriver can break when struck with a hammer. The hammer can be damaged if you strike with the cheek of a hammer. As you are pointing to where the grease goes, you just pushed dirty grease into the bearing.
You need to buy better tools or quit being scared to use what you got!
Carlisle tire and wheel tires...... I live about 16 miles from carlisle where the plant use to b in carlisle PENNSYLVANIA
I wish it was still there!
Don't ever remove the grease seals from a sealed bearing this is a stupid move. The seal is to keep the grease in and the dirt and water etc. out.
The inner seal isn't exposed to water/dirt (unless you park in a river).
@@BubbasWorkshop lol....wanna bet ?
I leave my sealed bearings “sealed”.
