did your new spindle come with threaded bolt holes? I ordered new spindles and mine were all clean straight through holes nothing for my bolts to thread into
@@keithwallick7440 do you know what size bolt and how long you went with and also what combination of washers you used? Ill just order everything vs ho try and match it all up at hardware store
Bet you didn't know that when you run those blades to that wore out condition the UNBALANCED blades will beat those spindles to death, replacement blades and or sharpening them and RE-BALANCING is cheaper than buying new spindles
I'm sure you have a point! But I would venture to say it's the rough terrain, the rocks, the sticks and limbs that I run over. The utter abuse that I put that machine through on my property. There's nothing about my property that is a golf course like lawn.
I have an old 350Z that is ragged out but I’m sure not ready to part with it, and either way I can’t afford it. The blade on the spindle that I replaced last year fell off today then got wobbly pretty fast after I put it back on pretty tight by hand wrench standards. A year ago I put it on right with a hand wrench and a long pipe. It seems like if it wasn’t tight enough a year ago it would have fell of a lot sooner but I can’t find anything else wrong. The spindle isn’t wobbly or hot. The blade, bolt and washers are bad hot but that’s only because of friction from the loosening and turning I think. EDIT: and it looks like we got the same aftermarket spindle…??? So have you had any problems with yours?
The reviews on the spindle were not great as best I remember. Also the spindle mounting holes where the bolts go through are not threaded. But I just put longer bolts through with nuts on them. The first spindle that I replaced last year in the middle seem to go bad pretty quick and I had already bought two more and stored them away. I'm waiting to see how long this one's going to last. I haven't found another source for spindles that will match that. I was thinking I might have to adapt a different spindle to it at some point in time as best I remember I think when I put the blade on there I had to put a extra washer on to tighten down the nut cuz something about the spacing wasn't right. So far I like the machine but it just seems like you have to keep up with maintenance on an older unit.
Why pull the deck my husband just changed both spindles on ours and didn't need to remove it. Someone told him years ago do things smarter not harder. He's disabled so removing deck would of been a lot more unnecessary work.
Yeah I suppose it depends on the model or how many spindles you have. Maybe some are easier to access than others. Mine was difficult to get to the center one. But you have a point.
3:06 I have 3 of those types of lifts ( from Harbor Freight ) & I love them, the ONLY thing I DON'T like is the Lift / Lower chain loop is too long, sometimes whenever I get a welder out to my place I will cut a section out of it & have the welder patch the ends back together
The Snapper , Symplicity and now Stihl arre owned by Briggs and Stratton along with Ferris. Many of the mowers are simple rebrands but not all so the parts are interchangeable between name plates.
"Stihl arre owned by Briggs and Stratton" <<<< NOT so sure about that, I worked at the Snapper plant when Simplicity bought Snapper & then B&S bought us & Ferris, a HUGE BAD move for customers and the McDonough Snapper plant, they stripped the assets, & closed the doors
6 1/2 hours!Id be wore out and put up wet to pappy.😂You remind me of my Uncle Sydney R.I.P..I'm running that Zt 50 cub cadet it needs these replaced figured I stop in and get ahead of the game.Subbed up..❤
New subscriber. I am retired mechanic vehicle and jet aircraft. A tip if you don't mind on doing the oil change and after you have that tube then reach up and take the dipstick out as it lets atmospheric air push the oil faster out of the crankcase.
That is a heavy deck. Maybe plywood first and follow with creeper or dolly. Drop the deck and roll her out! I was lucky with my Gravely deck spindles. They knock apart easy and use 6203 2RS bearings - Ebay 10 for $15. Like your chain fall better than my cable come along, but I am cheap Ha Ha Ha. Added zerks and a clamping grease nozzle. Takes a bunch of pumps though. I left the plastic seals on and they grease up fine.
i have buying for ten years now putting it to gather, battery are the big thing building diy battery floating by 10 am just on a few odds and panels so rest of the day is wasted so building more batterys used life04 up to 6000 watt hrs
😄 Actually I bought some and I'm going to be putting them on tomorrow. This video you watched his about 7 months old and I'm going to be redoing everything tomorrow. Might be what the next video is about. 🙂 Thanks
I was disappointed in the product. It's granulated like little pebbles with some kind of oil to hold it all together. Overtime it dries out and the pebbles wash. Thanks for watching
Was this done today, Friday 4/5/24? We don’t have rain, that’s why I was wondering. There you go again showing off your building skills some more. Plus I saw the red bucket! Yay!!! I think you use your bucket more than the other siblings, but I can neither confirm nor deny this statement. 🤔 Your used toilet and it’s “royal flush” have me really impressed. Aren’t you glad that God rewarded you with the surprise sighting of the remaining water lines? To me, it is so amazing that God cares for you and your family enough that He supplied you with the means to have water. Thank you Lord for saving Keith the extra back pain tomorrow. Now could you please tell him to quit talking about his nipple!? 😂 Thank you Lord Jesus, we love you!!!
You “murdered” a whole tree? 😢 If you wanted to cut down trees, I would have let you come play in my yard!!! 😂 just remember tho, our lovely sanitation department won’t let you place it out by the curb in chunks as big as yours. 😕☹️😫 it’s all good tho cuz I have a new box of the black trash bags! 😋
