Hello everyone!

This is my first post on here, although I have been floating around a lot and learning a bunch.

I have a new to me 149 that I bought primarily for snow removal and sold my 2 stage blower. Well after putting a bunch of work into it I found out someone attempted a repair on the rear axle and cross threaded/stripped most of the rear axle bolts. I bought a “parts tractor” that once I saw it in person, and picked it up, I realized it is in better shape then my other. But now I have got to thinking of selling my 2015 John Deere 160 and using the 149 as my mower as well so I only have to maintain one lawn tractor. I have found some really nice parts break downs in the technical library in here and have the old IH/cub cadet numbers but was hoping someone has part numbers for a Timken or other brand the auto parts stores locally could source for me. Also, is there a better place to buy belts and blades for these old decks? Mine is a 48” with the cast iron spindle holders so I believe that means I have the rebuildable spindles?

Thanks in advance!
Nick
