How To Replace A Deck Spindle On Craftsman/Husqvarna Mowers with Taryl 

I don't care if this video is 5 1/2 years old it solved my problem in 2021. Thanks Taryl. You da man!

I watch your videos even when I don't have to replace stuff . Your videos are great!

It aint space shuttle its lawn mower. My fav quote from Taryl.

thank you, you all are the only ones who have given options and the downfall to just about every situation in between. you answered alll my questions. I am grateful

I love how you actually repair stuff and don't just replace with new. Pure gold Taryl!

Loved the song. 😂😂😂😂 I had a bad day but this made me feel better

Best repair channel on earth or Mars for that matter. I've been fixin tractors n mowers since growing up on the farm back home 30 yrs ago n I have gotten involved in repairing and flipping mowers often for 4 yrs now. I enjoy it and have made enough money to pay for my daughters nursing school for most part. People have come to know me and work has increased for me since inflation hit n people cant afford new tractors. I work cheap save people lots of money and produce quality like new tractors. Sold at least 40 of em. All started when my old snapper sr1433 was getting really old and couldnt find parts to repair the transmission anymore.I had the idea of buying a used tractor rebuilding it n earning money to get the tractor I wanted for the house. Started w 2 craftsman lt1000s I got for 100 bucks. Sold em both fir 650 after spending 100 in parts. Sold em in less than 4 days. Now I've got a full shop n people rely on me and I love to make my customers happy n save em lots of cash

Absolutely the best video for replacing the bearings. You told me everything. Thanks.

15 years. Still have the stock spindles. Cub 2554. Being able to shoot grease in them keeps them going. Good stuff as always.

Thank you so much, Taryl! To save some money, I was trying to fix my riding mower myself rather than send it to Sears. You gave me the exact information I needed to replace the mandrel housing that had broken; I see my other mandrel housing needs replacement too because it is cracked at 2 of the 4 bolts. I'll order that part and replace it in the near future. So rather than spend hundreds of dollars, I bought an $18 part, put in about an hour of my time (took me longer than you because I don't have a lot of experience with fixing mowers, and I don't have an impact so did it by hand), and saved some money; thanks again!

I always admire these videos. Helped me a lot with my mower. Keep up the great work

You guys hit that one out of the park :-) Great job from the east coast !!!

the idea using the center punch/Loctite is what I am going to do on my JD 212 mower deck to try and salvage the hub. thank you, chuck

Had the same exact problem on my Ariens (made by Husqvarna) and this video was a lifesaver. Works good as new now.

Bloody awesome work fellas! "Lawn Mower Shop Blues" my favorite song at the moment.

Gotta love it Taryl, you do it with style and expertise and always entertain! Love you up here in British Columbia.

You totally ROCK!! THANKS for this video. I was able to change the bearings blades and belt on my mower deck with no problem because of your video. I saw other videos but they didn't have you draw the bottom bearing in like you did. Again thanks!

Absolutely Loved This Video! Just the right amount of crazy + blues + lawnmower repair = Fun! Thanks Guys.😷👍 Good Times.

Thanks this will help me out to replace the shot spindle on my Craftsman lawn mower. Again thanks you are a great help to a lot of people like me the can't afford to hire it fixed!

THANK YOU taryl you are the man, just wish I could meet you to let you know how you save many of us agony and undo hair pulling, (what little I have left) thanks again

You're the man! Your videos have helped me with two issues!

Taryl, you just saved me a bunch of time and headache. Glad I found your vid before I broke anything that wasn't already broke.

That's a great video Taryl!

Thanks Taryl that helped a lot as about to do my own.

Moves like Jagger !!! Love it

Awesome video 🇺🇸

forgot about the Timber. I think the ''Grass Rats'' need to go on tour. Maybe at the next green expo in KY

3 years ago i just replaced the 4 bearings ,reused everything else and installed grease fittings on the mandrels, still cutting good. i got a kick out of the microphone :)

I see the friction material is worn off the blade brakes. What I did on mine is, I cut a piece off a old brake pad from a car to fit and welded it on the leaver. Worked great. Love your videos

Wish I had seen this years ago I replaced 2 of these and your method would have saved me $$ and time

Hitting the threaded shaft with a hammer - great idea

Love the tunes

I liked the song! And your video is amazing. as usual

You're the greatest Taryl

I have had success in packing my mower deck bearings with Lucas sticky red grease.

thank you thats my next project your the best

good information...

What were some of the aftermarket names you have. And can you tell me why craftsman decks rust out so fast. Thanks again. You give the most informative videos, I've seen on you tube.

great job

ROCK ON!!!!

Good Video I had to replace both spindle on a mower last week for a customer he hit a pipe in the yard

Awesome! Just plain Awesome! Bravo....

Have you ever taken the inner seals out and added a grease fitting to the body so it is now areas able spindle? I have done that and worked good never had to replace bearings.

Very very good

Are you any relation of Harry High Pants ? Love your videos.

Taryl ! While putting the spindles together, I packed the housings with grease because 2 out of 3 spindles on the old NOMA don't have a zerk fitting. Was that a good or a bad move ?

Taryl youinsguys just have to do more with your band dude,,, really dig it,,,,👍I mean that’s first class all the way......😎pretty cool 😎

m ? and this has nothing to with tish but you are fun and grate..i have generac 27hr that has been discontinued and need and float Needle for it cam you help me out. it seems to me that you the smartest man on RU-vid

hi Taryl, or anyone should a pto be sprayed with penetrant? nice video on the spindles. * note put small bearing on first.

Someone had put 4 bolt spindles in mine. So when I did the rebuild I put in the same same type 4 bolt spindles.

This reminds me that I gotta put new bearings in my old John Deere deck. I wonder if I can do it the same way. My back and knees hurt watching you work on the floor like that. lol! I'm gonna send you out a nice set of work horses to do that with. Ha ha. Nice video bud. :)

Taryl : have you any information on the 1050 series bolens transaxle ?

more Taryls toys!

Good advice he says. Use shaft to pull bearing in never hammer on inner race since impact can shatter outter race or damage balls in bearing. Always tap on outter race use a soft brass or aluminum hammer .

Thanks for your video my friend has a Craftsman tractor and we maybe get in contact with your website or extra aftermarket stuff for that particular tractor

what do you think about some people installing a dirk fitting, does it work?

Youinsguys are the coolest 😎

I ordered three spindle assemblies and one of them arrived with the bottom bearing unseated (they used no packing materials, just products in boxes). When it sets in the housing (without reseating it) it sets in lower than the other two, which makes me worry about blade hitting the housing... The bearing is also pretty tight on the spindle shaft. Should I return/replace?

that's a hit right there

Great video as always. Saved me time, money, and a lot of cussing.

Fantastic intro!..lol 👍

have you got a release date for the cd

How do you remove nut to remove pulley if nut is really tight? I can't even block the blade because the bottom bolt is stripped. I haven't encountered this before and I really don't know what to do.
