cleat 5,809 #3 Posted May 26, 2018 Likely get $100.00 of parts easily. 2 good spindles alone and you are money ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #4 Posted May 27, 2018 In my experience, you get what you pay for. If all you want is for its parts, maybe a good deal. A lot depends on your standards. I got a deck for free once, the shell was toast, the bearings were toast but the spindles themselves and a couple of the spindle housings were good. A 48 inch deck has a reinforcing plate on the top which will help to keep it in shape. Anything under 48 will almost always have the center spindle tilting forward and to the right. Why?-because too many people overtighten the PTO belt which puts a constant strain on the spindle assembly. Over time, the deck metal will deform. So what? -tt will not give a good cut. Probably not a big deal if you are cutting the back 5 acres, but if you are doing the front yard, you will notice it. Like I said, it depends on your standards.
