Craftsman LT1000 - Part 6: Cutting Deck Idler Pulleys 

Shoot a video and upload it to your RU-vid channel. Maybe it will help someone else. And consider lubricating whatever deck bearings you don't replace. They're "sealed for life", but if you lube them, they will live a lot longer. Check out this video from sixtyfiveford: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9TXwfr1ydoU.html

Thanks! An easy and inexpensive repair (around 40 bucks). The rumble in the deck is gone and it cuts great. - Clay

Sage advice! Pushin' on a ratchet is a bad move ... and I charge $10.00 extra for each skinned knuckle :^) - Clay.
