36 inch mower spindle replacement

[Lane Ranger 10,968]

I just received some new spindle bearings for my backup B-80 36 inch mower deck.

I replaced two on the deck I am now using but that was two years ago.

TURF TRACTOR SPINDLE BEARINGS 230-078 for TORO 103119 is what I have.

I have fogotten which way the long side of the bearing goes - up for the pulley on top on down for the spindle cup and mower blade? I think the bearing is about an 1/8 to 1/4 inch longer on one end.

These are stens bearings and have a ring/grove on one of the Double D ends of the bearing.

I sure would appreacaite some guidance on which way is up on these!

I probably am too tired to finish two of them tonight anywaY!

Thank you Red Square members!

The short end goes up, Lane.

When the spindle unit is assembled, the shaft ends protrude almost equally - due to the lip at the bottom of the housing. (where the bearing unit seats)
