The mower is six years old. My cut time ran down from 2 hours to 45 minutes a session. My yearly hour runs are only 12-14 hours a year. Big change from a 42" lawn tractor to a 52" zero turn.
@@scotthomberg141 Priced OEM on my 48" HD and I think it was 286.00. I'm trying the made in China for 88.00. Might buy the bearings and rebuild the OEM.
Thank you for asking. I purchased them on Amazon. They are sold as coin and jewelry handling gloves. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086PCDYLX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you for asking. There are sealed bearings on these high end residentual zero turn mowers and they should last between 400-600 in-use hours. John Deere, the last one I had I bought in the mid 90's from the dealer and it had grease fittings but the spindles did not last and I am sure that I changed out at least four of them over the years.
