How to rebuild John Deere Ztrak deck spindles. Z915, Z920, Z930. TCA24880 Spindle 

Thanks, will do! Thanks for watching! 🍻

I just ordered 50 to start the year off with and will use them easily in a month

I see 6205 bearings even clicking on link in description of hd switch says 6205

Yes. For example if you have a z930m with a PIN # over 90,000 it requires the cast iron housing spindle AUC12478. The process is exactly the same. The bearings and seal part #s different. But done the exact same way. Models before -90,000 will have the TCA24880 spindle.

Yes exact same process just different set of bearings and seals needed. Other than that they are pretty much identical

I fully agree. I think the stock factory issue bearings are cheap chinese bearings 😒

@@Mechanical_Mind yea, they know it should last long enough for warranty. After that they don’t care since your gonna probably come crawling back to them for parts so they get you twice.

If you get a few years out of some $21 bearings and seals heck why not. Its really easy to change them out. Regardless they need to be greased regularly.

@@Mechanical_Mind absolutely, it’s just a pain if you get a bad batch of bearings and have to do hours of work and out hundreds. This happened to us when we put on new MOOG iwe wheel hubs on our f150. It took 2 sets of them before we got a decent one and after the last one failed again I bought the ford one and called it a day. I’ve been bitten to many times on cheap or aftermarket parts. I had another fiasco with thermostats being defective right out the gate. The thing was both the wheel hubs and the water pumps were both name brand products…

Really I’ve tryed them all and the cheap brging last just as long if if if grease often

Hi Jim, I use a hand lever pump and usually stop when feel some resistance after pumping grease into them. Which is usually 8-14 pumps or so. You want to try to avoid pushing grease out of the seals.

@@Mechanical_Mind thanks for the quick response.

I'll see what I can find

I ordered them every Dec That’s why I ordered a hundred at a time Think ahead Sir

From what I see the average is around 500 hours on a set of spindles assuming they are being greased properly

That really depends on how often the owners have greased the spindles. Ive seen them go bad as years as 150 hrs amd seen them last as long as 1000 hours.

Best to remove them while new and remove covers Pack with grease

I'm at 2300hrs on original spindles

Is it not still under warranty? Give me its PIN# and. I can check if its under warranty. Did you check to see if the top pulley is just spinning on the hydro shaft?

The machine is about 7 years old so I’m sure it’s out of warranty. The problem starts after about 35 minutes of mowing.

Hey Phillip, go to deere.com then click 'parts & service' then 'parts' then 'commercial mowing'. Then enter your mowers PIN # ( product Identification Number). Confirm your mower has the TCA24880 spindles. The kit in this video is for the TCA24880 spindles.
