Good afternoon,
I have decided to rebuild the belly mower of my 782. Y'all have been a big help with my old Cubs.
The pulleys are rusted away. The deck is in good shape.
Here is my questions:
1. How easy is it to find parts for old mowers?
2. The middle blade has been removed with little effort. The two side blades have been been more difficult. How do I remove the top grease fitting (top nut) on the spindle? See pictures. I do not feel or see a set screw. When I block the blade and put a wrench on the blade bolt and the second nut the spindle turns as I try to loosen the nut.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
