Good video, thanks. Please be careful with circlips and your eyes. I understand that the clip was around the shaft when you approached it but the ends can separate as can the plier tips
22:01 looked like a spun bearing on the shaft and housing going in that easy, why didn't you use something like locctite 609 bearing retaining compound to secure it in place to stop any more damage having to replace the housing and shaft next time around being more flogged out? Or do you think it that's how it's ment to be?
I don't remember being concerned about the clearance. It did need to be pushed into place and snapped in place. With any kind of load on the shaft. I would expect it to hold the outer race pinned up against the housing. But maybe that is wishful thinking. Come to think of it when you bolt it together. I wonder if there's a force applied to that bearing race by the mating shaft housing.
Yeah it's all fun and games, im rebuilding my Iseki 72 inch deck gearbox and mine are all spun to on the outer bearing race's on the input and output shaft but the shaft inner races are all press fit on still... i think because it is not to far gone tight fitting wise im going to use 609 retaining compound I've had good success with that stuff in the past.
today... today i put the last set of blades on the walker. thought the shaft drive would be good, why i grabbed it. maybe on flat, clear ground... but not on a property with 50 years or more of sheer neglect. ive had a new set of blades destroyed as i engaged the clutch... no matter how well you check that patch, theres always something new hidden in there. i think that time, i actually was sitting on top off the g-clamp. no wonder i didnt see it. oops. bricks, wire, found a three foot chunk of angle iron buried with an inch poking out in one of the fences... that bent the spindle. passed it every week, no idea it was there, lurking... decided to do it the other way, and hooked that out of the ground. ffs. pulled a fence down the other day. pulled all the posts. went up and down, checked three times. every brick out and in a pile. every stray bit of wire and mesh, dragged out. it still got me. a truck axle sunk in the ground, 1 inch poking out....wtf is it with these chunks of steel buried in the ground? hammer the deck out, chisel the spindle nuts off, replace all the shear pins, even the unishaft ones... cant get new spindles over here. the stupid imperial bearings are that custom "no seal" narrow race unobtainium type. look at the tecumseh/peerless site and find that they used over their rated specs anyway... the spindles rust out where the oil seal is meant to ride. i could maybe bore it out a bit more and shove sealed bearings in there but the spindles still bent... so. im either just throwing stock standard spindles in the deck, and setting it up with a timing belt for the synch, or im just cutting the deck off and modding an old great dane i have kicking around. because wow. three years, ten blades, countless pins... i think ive gotten around the place four, maybe five times at best with OUT something blowing up... could run no earmuffs when i got it. with the bent spindles, worn bearings, dry gears, and out of balance blades.... its a symphony of howling metal and frustrated screaming :) they are NOT suitable for "difficult" properties. so damn glad i wasnt doing commercial work at the time. thats why i grabbed it, some weekend cash. well, that didnt happen. every weekends spent working on the damn thing!

Hi, good video!
How to remove drive shaft on the gearbox input shaft?
nice walkthrough

Great point!

today...
today i put the last set of blades on the walker.
thought the shaft drive would be good, why i grabbed it.
maybe on flat, clear ground... but not on a property with 50 years or more of sheer neglect. ive had a new set of blades destroyed as i engaged the clutch...
no matter how well you check that patch, theres always something new hidden in there. i think that time, i actually was sitting on top off the g-clamp. no wonder i didnt see it. oops.
bricks, wire, found a three foot chunk of angle iron buried with an inch poking out in one of the fences... that bent the spindle. passed it every week, no idea it was there, lurking... decided to do it the other way, and hooked that out of the ground. ffs.
pulled a fence down the other day. pulled all the posts. went up and down, checked three times. every brick out and in a pile. every stray bit of wire and mesh, dragged out.
it still got me.
a truck axle sunk in the ground, 1 inch poking out....wtf is it with these chunks of steel buried in the ground?
hammer the deck out, chisel the spindle nuts off, replace all the shear pins, even the unishaft ones...
cant get new spindles over here.
the stupid imperial bearings are that custom "no seal" narrow race unobtainium type.
look at the tecumseh/peerless site and find that they used over their rated specs anyway...
the spindles rust out where the oil seal is meant to ride.
i could maybe bore it out a bit more and shove sealed bearings in there but the spindles still bent...
so. im either just throwing stock standard spindles in the deck, and setting it up with a timing belt for the synch, or im just cutting the deck off and modding an old great dane i have kicking around.
because wow. three years, ten blades, countless pins... i think ive gotten around the place four, maybe five times at best with OUT something blowing up... could run no earmuffs when i got it. with the bent spindles, worn bearings, dry gears, and out of balance blades.... its a symphony of howling metal and frustrated screaming :)

You need a mic. I cannot hear anything. Lights might help too.
You "cannot hear anything"? Maybe you had your volume muted.
