combatmp29r 27 #1 Posted January 13, 2008 OK guys I know some where on here we talked about the upgraded front spindles for a FEL. I can't find it though. Probably looked right at it 10 times. I have a picture of the upgraded spindles. The ones with the angle brace on them. Does anyone know what the part# is for the thrust washers? The V18 is going to weigh around 800lbs all decked out and I'm thinking they might not be a bad addition. Thanks for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #2 Posted January 13, 2008 Joel, Go to the Toro MPV and enter 80492 in the model search box. They take up extra space under the end of the axle, so you'll probably have to "center" drill and tap the tops of your spindles and put bolts down in them to hold them. The HD spindle kit had longer "tops" on the spindles to make up the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #3 Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks Terry, I know I have that kit written down some where around here :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #4 Posted January 13, 2008 P.S. >>> You can also "steal" the blade spindle thrust bearings and washers out of the old gear-drive 2 blade decks too. (If you have access to any.) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curmudgeon 28 #6 Posted January 13, 2008 The part numbers would be: 7956 Thrust washer 1278 Shim washer 107051 Slip washer (coated) 2 required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #7 Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks Dale. That saves me a trip over to the MPV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 28 #8 Posted January 13, 2008 No sweat. Since Toro "improved" the parts viewer, it's almost useless to many of us. I find looking in a paper manual much faster and easier. Just need a couple shelfs full of binders full of paper manuals! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #9 Posted January 13, 2008 Well I've got a good start going on the manuals. Now if I could just find a couple dealer sets like I know a few of you have I"d be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 28 #10 Posted January 13, 2008 Ah, a dealer set. Now that would be SWEET! I have a conglomeration of originals, best copies available, downloaded and printed from the manuals groups. Some of the ones I find most valuable are the manual transmission service manual and the Lubrication Recommendations Drive Belt & Mower Belt Usage Charts manual. For $25 you can buy the last two from a Toro dealer (last I knew anyway) and sound like you really know something! LOL Dale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #11 Posted January 13, 2008 I have a copy of the Lube, belt chart thanks to Buzz. Don't have the manual trans one though. I'll have to look into that one. I've got most of the ones from the manuals site burnt onto CDs. I use my deployment laptop (been to iraq twice and crunches when you push certain buttons from sand) in the shop to look stuff up I haven't printed out yet. I print a little at a time so I don't here the rath from the ink godess (wife). Joel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #12 Posted January 13, 2008 I have the manual manual ( ) downloaded and saved on my computer, along with the Onan P series engine manual. Someday I'll save them to disc and take them to work to print them out. (laser printer ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
