Need a bearing number
 

Item #28. Need the bearing number that goes in that idler pulley.

Mike, I'm pretty sure they are a 6203.

I'm surprised that the bearing will press out of the idler pulley. At least on the A and C model decks I have, that bearing is encased in the pulley and wont come out. I have been buying idlers from XMARK mowers. The original bearings have a reducer in the center you can press out and press into the xmark pulleys. It's a hair larger than the original, but they work great, at least they do on my A and C model 44's and 50's. Here is a pic of one on my deck. TB

The last one of these I had to chuck it in the lathe to cut the weld that held the two halves together. I drilled six holes for 10-32 screws to hold it together. Worked is good as a new one.

Thanks but I don't think that is the correct number according to pictures of that number I've looked at. This bearing has an extended shoulder sticking out on one side. Pictures of 6203 don't show this?

You could be right though.

R lause. What number bearing did you use? Getting it apart wasn't a problem. Used a Blair cutter on the spot welds.

I think that is the only bearing that I have seen so far on my stuff but I have not done one that you are doing yet so I could be wrong. Let us know what it is please.

This was from a 3000 series deck I redone. The little bushing dohicky thingy comes out. Slap some grade 8 China specials on there from TSC to hold it together.

There are at least 2 different bearings for the idler pulleys, the other is a 1623 (Nice number) I believe the ones that this number replaces has an inner shoulder that is part of the inner race and does not press out.

I've yet to find a bushing/shoulder to use for these, always have to make them myself.

I am out of town till Fri. when I'll check. I have CRS.

Mike, sounds like you need to cut it open and measure it.

I'm lazy, I just spend $15 on a new pulley. That way it only takes 5 min to fix, and I don't have to use my bolt stock, welder, drill......
