The rebuild kits are good and you keep the old parts for just in case I need them later I usually never remove the spindles, just new brging and drilling tap and zerts I clean and paint deck and paint bottom with used motor oil
Thank you for this. Its exactly what i needed to fix mine. I ordered brake pads online (forgot from who) and they sent me two for the right side. One tall and one short. The other 4:56 parts i got confused me because they sent two springs for the left and two of the other kind for the right. Your video enlightened me.
For sure you can save the spindle and replace brging later for 12 bucks or less Antizee or never zee is just smart thing to do DIY guys never use it because there not full time mechanic
When i ordered parts from Sears Direct, i used the parts list from the manual. I ordered spindles, washers, nuts, and the bolts. I think Sears could have told me the spindle they have already includes nuts bolts and washers.
I have a LT2000 I got from a neighbor that had a another That he bought for parts. He actually gave it to me when My Troybilt died. Im assuming the craftsmans he had were close enough where he swapped the deck and then gave the mower to me. I started having problems with the deck and got a rebuild kit. I watched another video and according to the video had the idler and tensioner pulleys reversed an also found my belt keepers needed worked on on the pulleys. Is there a specific torque for those nuts on the tensioner and idler pulleys? I can't find any torque recommendations for the deck other than for the blades.
I may have missed it but I did not see you re-attach the clutch cable to engage the the blade. I have my belt rubbing on the brake pad edge by the idler pulley On Brake pad I have same issue of the one pad being at what I think is the wrong angle as you show in
