Tapered Roller Bearing Spindles Slop
I've having this happen on both of my decks: a 42" cast nose 3-spindle and a 38" cast end/nose 3-spindle.
Rebuilt 4 of the 6 spindles thus far with new bearings and races - the 42" got China-made sets and the 38" had new Timken's with it (not installed) when I became it's new owner. I stopped to ask for guidance before completing the other 2 spindles. Once put together, the spindles are showing some slop and not running in a manner I'm used to with a non-driven front rotor, which shows no slop when properly replaced. I'm getting between 0.015"-0.020" of vertical play with my indicator once everything is tightened down to torque spec and they seem to have a little wiggle back and forth when applying force in the direction the belt would. Took everything back apart and tried again only to end up with the same result. Before I go machining stuff to work, I'm curious what others think. Thoughts?

I started this thread when I was working on some spindles awhile back.
http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=38158 Maybe it will help.

I did reuse the old spacers. But that has me intrigued. If they all shrunk as they wore, then the spacer between the bearing races would be suspect given my condition.

I pulled all three spindles apart and reassembled each with a different cone spacer just to see what I'd get. I wanted to flip the top seals over anyways to allow the old grease to escape like others had suggested.
The outer spindles ended up better with only one spacer needing a couple thousands removed to take out the slop. The spacer left for the center spindle was still too thick after I cut .020" off its height, though there was a vast improvement. A piece of glass, some fine sandpaper and a little sanding took off enough to take the remaining slop out. Get to try it for the first time today. Excited to see how well it works. Thanks for the help guys.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
