44A Spindle rebuild?
Hi Guys,
I have a couple of 44A decks and I have spindle issues on both. My question is can the bearings be replaced or does one have to replace the spindle assembly? A nearby IH dealer offered to send a spindle to my door for $175. If it is possible to install new bearing how do you get these bearings out? This is yet another first for me so any advice will be appreciated. Thanks for any and all response. Wayne |

Wayne:
Here is what you got........ These bearings (ST745) are non serviceable. These bearings need to be replaced. You can obtain replacements from your local CC or Case/IH Dealer. You can also obtain these from our Forum Sponsors at the top of the page. You can also check with the Dealers in our Parts Sources Section.

R Bedell - Thank you for the information. It's hard for me to understand why IH would make such a part, with zerks, to be disposable. With todays costs to replace and repair, I'm thinking conspiracy. I assume the machined shaft is the main reason for expense. Oh well, on to the next project..

I'm not so sure on the conspiracy thing, they only lasted thirty some years. How many box store mowers will last three to four years?????

They'll last just about forever if they are greased properly...but the problem is that few of these decks had great maintenance. I've had some really nice ones that had probably been greased before every use.

You're right guys - Everything about these machines is pretty much bullet-proof. I just don't understand why these spindles don't have replacable bearings. They have such a nice, machined shafts that it just seems a waste. I have three 44As and all three shells are good to very good. 5 out of the 9 spindles are bad. Oh well... Conspiracy was probably the wrong term.

Hey guys! Realize this is going back a few years but I was wondering if somebody could help me out here with couple questions. My 44A spindles are toast.
Can I get the ST745 Bearings only? I'm having the deck powder coated by a friend who has a business doing this. HE seems to think #5, #6 and #7 will coat too once they're blasted. This way I could get out around 70 bucks for each bearing, instead of around 160 for the whole assembly. Can't see it being an issue, anybody have any thoughts with this? Also, that cover #5, it isn't tacked on that cup #7 is it? Mine wasn't, it was loose. |

I have a thought...
# 5 and 7 should be replaced.I had a good set of bearings but they were loose in their housings.New housings took care of it,blast them and they can be PC'd.

Thanks for the replies guys! Appears those housing cups are around 70 each, plus cover another 20. At that point, might as well just go ahead and buy the entire assembly.
Not to sound like a cheapskate, but that's a near a 300 dollar decision. |

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.
