I have an old mower, yard machine 36" cut deck pretty old and I need to get the spindel off so that I can replace the bering. the spindel shakes and causes the belt to come off. any suggestions. I got the mower with house so I do not know exactly how old it is, probably somewhere in the 1998-2002 range.
Not familiar with this particular model, but generally ;-
1) Remove deck from mower.
2) Remove all belt covers from top of deck if fitted.
3) Unbolt pulley from spindle. Will probably need impact driver.
4) Unbolt blade from other end of spindle. Impact driver needed.
5) Unbolt spindle from deck pan.
Most spindles have to be replaced as an assembly - bearing replacement is a machine shop job.
