Todd,

When I rebuilt my 374 last winter I splurged and bought a set of the Cub Cadet blades with the hard carbide edge.. got a BUNCH of hours on them this year already and so far they are just as sharp as the day i put them on. I shopped around and found them for about $120 for the set... verdict is still out on whether they are worth all that money!

We run another 374 at the shop... the one we got from Sam... we are running the Stens blades from Patton Acres on it.. I have sharpened them twice in the same amount of time and they are close to needing it again. But that set of blades is about 40 bucks...

I got some regular old 6205 bearings from my local auto parts store... they fit and worked great and they were in stock.. bout 5 bucks a piece and like Sam said take the inside seal out.

I'm running the same front casters as Sam and Todd on both..they work great..

Those are the best version of the Haban 60 inchers in my opinion..

Have fun with it... if you want to get rid of it I can give it a home under a 982!
