My name is joe and this is a channel where we review tools and do projects and different vehicles and machines. the repairs may have usefull information and the reviews my save you from waisting your money.
I was already stressing out with a torn belt. You did a very good job explaining the process. Thank you very much for posting this video. I commend you on your organization of your tools and garage overall. 🧐 Keep up the good work. Keep making your parents proud 😇
going to do the castor wheel hub bearing s tomorrow on my laser Z exmark mower But will check the play in the spindle bearings while up in the air. Thanks so much for the video! You did a very nice job in explaining everything. I liked it and subscribed, AGAIN GOOD JOB! Robert TN
My gravely is much older 1999 260 zt. It has threads on top with a nut and a cotter pin. The diagram in the parts shows , from the bottom is a spacer, a seal, the bearing a cup and then the upper part is the other way. First is the cup, then the bearing {no seal} a washer the Nut and cotter pin. My problem is getting the cup in place from the bottom. I can get it started with a mallet, like you used, but I can not get it go higher up. If I don't get it up high enough the Nut will not be sticking out enough to get the cotter pin into place. Can I use a similar socket method you used to put the cup into place? With a big C clamp.
That 15mm is a 9/16" . I haven't seen metric mixed with standard since my 1965 Volvo. But overall good video, and yeah you can do it without taking the deck off, but for video purposes it shows more off. Well done.
So I had to look at a couple of your videos to remove and replace the bearings but my bosses gravely is a work horse going hard so we had a way harder time but the caps had been off for a long time making it harder but I bent a c clamp in the process replacing one of the bearings lol literally had just bought it to
Good stuff, deal like that don't hold back. I'm looking at them now at $249 lol 😆 My 1990s set is missing a few, didn't come with 1/2 metric at all, no deep 1/2 sae, and weirdly the 3/8 metric are 12pt, while everything else is 6pt. So to get the 1/2 metric set, and 1/2 deep sae and metric sets, replace about 8-12 others, man idk 🤷♂️ this might happen 😳
If you've done trailer wheel bearings, especially semi siezed - heat welded on where they need cut off, such difficult, blown out, bearings- this style, instead, is very easy, especially the top one. As with all bearings, the nut needs to be the correct tightness - not too tight, not too loose, rotation of swivel smooth and easy moving. I go generous on the grease.
Hi, this is a neat function to weld thin sheets as it will not over heat the material or possibly blow holes. BTW, do you know if any stick welder also has this feature or function ?
Kid, once a year I have to come back and review your video. This is better than some professional videos I watch on the same subject. Keep up the good work!
I have this same mower model, just newer. Took the deck off in the backyard. I was surprised how heavy it is. I'm old and lost most of my strength. I had to place cardboard under the mower and slide the deck back. Put antisieze on the bolts. Next time, I'll do it in my garage on concrete floor. I might try to lower the deck on my old creeper and slide it in and out. Crazy how heavy it is. Great job on this video. It helped to prepare me for the task.
My belt popped off when I started the blades, then quickly turned them off...I was able to put it back without removing the deck. Could you have done them same in your situation?
Nah I given my snap on man ratchets older then then that I got some the late 30s he ordered the rebuilt kit put it back together for me you go on eBay buy broken snap on tools cheap and get them fixed for nothing
Thanks for sharing. Great video. You think Gravely would make it easier to swap bearing…that looked like a pain in the ass getting them out and the new ones back in!!!
