JimSraj 429 #1 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Does anyone have a chart of late 1960s deck spindle numbers and the decks they work with? I rently picked up a beat up deck that the PO said was from a Charger. It has what appear to be 2 good spindles and one with a beat up casting but decent shaft. Numbers cast into them are hard to be sure of but look like 8139 or S139. A few pictures to help. Edited March 28, 2022 by JimSraj Add pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,588 #3 Posted March 28, 2022 @JimSraj can relate to saving solid anything , would recommend that you use the opportunity , to insure those rebuilt spindles have lubrication that will stand the test of time , lucas x-tra heavy duty grease , walmart $ 7 , having rebuilt my decks ,every drive related new bearing has been , cleaned out and repacked with this lubricant . don't guess on what's in the bearing . this 560 deg , anti sling , polyurea grease , will make your spindles and pto mule drive bearings , run with a smooth / quiet easy function . look for bearings that have wide rubber side shields, pocket flat screwdriver , carefully remove the shields to make the grease swap ,wipe out first, use carb clean to insure original grease removal. my decks all work with quiet ease , no bearing whining , also detail all your areas . it pays off , this is only a suggestion , but what an opportunity , you have at this state , greasy pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
