Now that the pulleys are off we that we can see wha's going on, I think you have two different types of spindles. As you can see in the pics below, the top picture is of spindles off the "A" suffix decks, the lower picture is of spindles from the earlier style deck. I never saw these inter-mixed before. Just curious, looking from the bottom, do your blades all end up to be at the same cutting level??

I am glad you posted your pics...they cleared up my questions. I am not sure which one is which as the pictures on my screen are side by side, but none the less I have two on the deck like the yellow one and the third is of the other style...Either the deck was made early Monday or Late Friday hahaha but I think the PO had to replace it and it is what he had laying around if I had to make a guess.
I never looked to see where the blades are at I will have to take a look tonight when I get home from work. Thanks for the info.

The yellow/black type is for the old style deck and I'm thinking they would be right for your deck. The "A" suffix decks look like this....

Bad part is there is not ID tag on the deck it is long gone. I am looking at the parts diagram and no numbers for the whole assembly. Anyone know what the number is for the yellow/black spindle in ironman's post above???

I replaced all the spindles on my 44A deck several years ago and I have 1 that refuses to take grease even with the air grease gun. My deck has the "grease cups". The zerks themselves are apparently "press-in". Guess it's time to tear it down from below and clean them all out. Penetrating oil/heat from above I guess.

Steve, look at the drawing in this link. I think this is your deck and it shows that either type of spindle can be used. So as long as you've got them greased and turning nice you should be good to go.

I verified that the blade height was ok on them and was able to get a new grease fitting in and it takes grease but, I came across another issue. the one spindle has one of the ears broken off so I am back to square one. I didn't catch it till I was cleaning up some things on the deck. Everything else is ok I can't win!

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.
