The original owners abandoned this great condition Troy-Bilt walkbehind mower at a local repair shop. The quoted repair job must have been too expensive, so they left it for dead- but that's where I swoop in! The spindles needed new bearings, not too bad at all! Pretty nice machine

Great haul! You might think about getting a pounding block to make some operations easier. Just a tree stump waist high outside the door of your shop would work. The work bench and shed floor don’t really provide enough resistance when you really need to wale on something. I have the base of a cedar tree inside that I use for punching holes in things, setting snaps, grommets, whatever, but it’s only about 14 inches in diameter. Outside I have a locust stump that is much larger. Good to mount an anvil on or railroad track or just a piece of flat steel. Good for flattening bent up steel pieces with a 3lb sledge.

Great video! Here is a tip for bearing installing: keep the new bearings wrapped and put them in the freezer the night before install and they slide right in because the freezer shrinks them up and they r easy too install, give it a try and u will be happily pleased they drop in usually.

It amazes me how many manufactures put in greasable fittings and the inner seals are still in the bearings, they will get some grease, but not as well if the inner seal is removed :)

A small pic works well and you can drill and tap the side of housing and install a grease fitting. I do all my recondition projects with greasable spindles :) Great job those walk and ride behinds are supper popular these days :)

I'm purchasing a John Deere lawn tractor the seller states the frame is bent, so it's a parts mower. Poor people have poor ways, so I'm going to use my 20 ton bottle jack to try to straighten the frame. :) Good luck with your projects. I enjoy your ingenuity.

Thank you very much. And good luck to you straightening out the frame! How bad could it be though? What in the world happened to a lawn tractor that would bend its frame?!

The same guy who drove over his chainsaw probably backed up into that tractor, or possibly rolled it on a hillside. 😂

The best way to get the pulley off you use the hook 🪝 end to pry up and using an air chisel with a flat end will help getting the pulley off

The decks are weak, hit something too big and they bend easy, blades hit eachother, etc. I fixed one for a neighbor, hopefully they stop hitting large branches or what not lol

Next time freeze the bearing and heat the housing. Freezing it will shrink the bearing and heating up the housing will make it expand making it easier to put them together

Take out that inner seal, so the grease gets to the ball bearings :)

I know I could install them, but the spindles didn’t have grease fittings. So I installed as directed

Copy that :) What i have found out also. The new bearings that are sealed, when you open them up by removing that inner seal, there is very small amount of not high quality grease installed in the sealed bearing. That is why they wont last. I have a drill bit and tap setup, can drill tap and grease spindle in about 5-10 minutes. Spindle will then outlast the rest of the machine. Most homeowners will never grease them anyways :) Lol Thanks again for sharing, keep up the great work. Have a blessed day :) @@Kylebythecreek

I didn’t grease the sealed bearings, I filled the dead space between the bearings with grease to keep water out

Don’t you have a dead blow hammer? Should never use a metal hammer on bearings. it’s a nice mower and shows the repair shop shouldn’t be in business. 4 bearings and done.
