Default 42" deck Spindle rebuild help?
Greetings.

My right side spindle is toast on my 100. It's. 42" deck with cast iron bumpers on the front. I must admit that I'm a novice when it comes to rebuilding spindles. This thing was so roached and crispy, when I removed it, tons of roller bearings fell on the ground, along with the detached, crispy basket before I could even see how how anything was arranged.

I'm guessing I need to rebuild this thing with new bearings and such, but I don't really know what. I've done some searching, but haven't been able to find a list of everything I need for this specific model. I've included 4 photos of my spindle and the condition it is in. Could anyone be so kind advising me what parts I need to purchase to rebuild it? I greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Default spindle
pic of spindle , I have brg and seal numbers somewhere I can send to you, bearing cup and cones ( Timkin )are available from bearing suppliers as are seals which are less pricey than obtaining them from cub ! as long as you have the bearing spacers and didn't ruin the shaft it should be repairable it looks like the earlier type spindle which are fairly simple to rebuild,a lot of info and help is available on this site ! good luck

I think you have the one piece bearings...

I happen to know a member here (my brother) who has a 42" deck that was shot, but had good spindles. He was just telling me today that he was going to sell the spindles and junk the deck. I can PM you his info if you are interested in some good used. If you do have the one piece design, the bearings are about $175 a piece.

175$ a piece??!?! Yowza!!! I paid $350 for the whole tractor and deck! How much is your brother selling the good spindles for? Are they complete with bearings and everything I need to get mowing again?

Thanks!

Default St745
If they are the one piece bearing ST745 specialties had them for 68 bucks. But that's still pretty pricey if you need more than one.

This is for a 38" deck but will apply to the 42".

It is possible. Interesting. That is the same bearing that is $175 from CCC... It's not like Charlie to be cheap, even if he got a good deal. Usually his price reflects CCC's price (or just a tad cheaper) if the part is still available.

I'll have him PM you.


To the guys in this thread in "awe" over the link to the Owners manual for the deck..... it's also available on THIS (OCC) site. No big mystery.

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.
