Work for me.

You can buy them from the Yellow Father, gotta love it when Cub makes things in odd sizes just so you have to go back to them.

941-0353 Flange Bearing. Replaces Part Numbers 741-0353, 741-0353P Price $6.40

Yea, these were $1.82 each. I worry that the Cub only stuff may not always be avaliable.

Cannon, you think like I do. We do have Jeff when they stop making stuff. I sure hope it doesn't take me this long to replace the bearings in my 48GT. Although if I keep putting it off it may take longer! Hope to see it killing grass soon!

I got it all back together today. I even pop riveted the tag back on. I got it hanging on the hoist letting the paint dry on the bolt heads before I put it back on the 1641. Rustolum dries kinda slow. I'll get one more picture of it on the mower.

I got it on the 1641 today. There is a lot less noise now. I had the spindle covers laying on it in one of the earlier pictures but I probably won't run them. I have never used the rear gauge wheels on either of my 317 decks. I have 4 of the wheel post and all have the wheel bolt broke off in them. The paint is a worse match than I hoped but it's never going to the fair anyway. Two years, that's embarrassing. I appreciate the help and advise.

Looks good to me. As long as it works it's all good.

We do it for fun Cannon, don't sweat it. You do what you can in a time frame you're allowed. Sometimes it takes a while to accurately troubleshoot your issue too. I hope the deck works as well as you hoped.

Thought I'd post an update. I used the 1641 at my sons house today and it's still working like a charm. It's cutting very good by my standards.

Good stuff! Glad to see the ol' girl doing her thing!

I had this deck off today to clean it up and sharpen the blades. After two years of use everything still feels tight but most of the paint is gone off the underside. All that work on a nice Rustoleum spray can finish wasted.
