Tore into the 36” deck that was on the 72 Commando I picked up earlier this week. I got the tractor running and initial assessment looks like it maybe a keeper if I can use it to mow. The deck top is very rusty. The deck shell is also the thick steel and looks to be structurally sound. The idler bar is shot but the plastic slides are useable. 1 spindle is perfect. The center spindle has noisy bearings and the double pulley is wallowed out a bit. I found the PO had wedged a feeler Gaige in to take up the slop. The other spindle has bad bearings also. I’m giving the deck shell an oil bath before needle scaling. What’s left of the idler bar. The good is there’s 3 brand new blades on the deck. Probably installed when the new spindle was installed. Any opinions on which direction to go? I can get nos parts to rebuild it to original for prolly $250. Is there a more economical course of rebuild with parts that aren’t discontinued?
