Default Gt 2550 deck spindles
How difficult are these particular spindles (Gt 2550) to recondition/rebuild for a bloke who has a limited skill set when it comes to things mechanical , I also have 2 left feet so not a good dancer and my green thumb passed away from lack of care
I have a parts manual so it shows the exploded view , are they worth repairing or just by new ones

I'm thinking those are the same as the old styles. The ones that use front wheel bearings from old Chevys. If so yes, bearings and seals are cheap. Check spacers for wear if it has them in between. Mike

Chevy bearings woohoo , yes that is the correct one Sam ,
Are they worth rebuilding for $40.00 approx or new spindle $100.00 for a bloke who as mentioned has good looks but no mechanical skill (lol)

I was thinking about a Go Fund me page or a Govt grant Sam but all I really need is a bit of mechanical advice

Check ebay, LM11949 and LM 11910 they come pretty cheap in the states.
And as mentioned, most Gm vehicles used them before we went to front wheel drive vehicles.

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.
