Bill D 1,915 #1 Posted April 23, 2023 I have a chance to pickup a cheap deck for parts. The deck is total trash other than the spindle housings, which are in surprising good shape. The spindle shafts on this deck are 3/4" keyed shafts. Are the housings the same as the ones used with the later metric spindle shafts? Just wanted to confirm before I buy it as most of my decks have metric shafts. Thanks, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
76c12091520h 3,608 #2 Posted April 23, 2023 They are not. The housings for the keyed shafts are # 106063; later "metric" decks use # 114568. Close, but different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,651 #3 Posted April 23, 2023 They will work I have used them for metric spindles. Bearing OD on both are 40mm I don't know what is different other then the part number of the housings.. Back when I could get a new spindle with housing, spindle, pulley, both nuts and a blade for $67 I bought two sets of 3/4 keyed. They have all been rebuilt with metric bearings and spindles. The sleeve between bearings also has to be changed for the 17 mm spindles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,589 #4 Posted April 23, 2023 @Bill D agree with @Lee1977 on the bearing , would take advantage of the opportunity , to re grease those bearings . side shield removal , small putty knife , or similar very thin flat , carefully pops those seals off , wipe out original , grease , lucas green or lucas marine grease , has very high temp and stress rating . also do the pto mule drive bearings . imagine no bearing whine , or noise . you are right there in rebuild stage . many hours , and zero failure or problem , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
