Your video is very nice, I understand completely what to do. Unfortunately, I have taken out the old bushings & the new bearings (same kit you have) will not fit, I have a craftsman T3200 that I do not understand. But anyway, thank you for these great instructions.
I did this to my Craftsman AND my Husqvarna. Those bearings are sealed, so I carefully removed the INNER FACING seals on each set of bearings with s small, sharp pick and installed them so I could STILL grease them using the zerk fittings. I also did this to all my spindle bearings a short while back. They should require grease ONLY at either the beginning or end of every season, and it should make the bearings last MUCH longer....
Hey! i really really appreciate the video! i have a Husqvarna22v42 and im going to use the sane kit! it says it works for that type, for 20 bucks it seams like its work it !!! ill let you know how it pans out !
Hello Owens! At the bottom of your steering column is a small gear that engages a fan-shaped sprocket. During certain fixes, like draglink replacement, these two can come apart. When you put them back together, you need to be careful that the front wheels and the steering wheel are both in the proper position.

A large socket works well to seat the bearing applying pressure to only the outer race. So many folks miss that detail to not beat on the inner race.
That's a great suggestion. David I wish that I had thought of it but grateful for your contribution.
Great long term upgrade for these lawn tractors. I have a 2020 Cub Cadet XT1 L50- I suppose they're all the same since MTD is the manufacturer.

Why did you do that with sealed bearings? This why allows dirt to get into the bearings.
How long do you think it will be before you have to change the new bearings you installed. Thanks again Neil
Nice job except that you didn’t put any grease on the axle, so it doesn’t get rusty
Thanks !
Hope my project goes as easy as you made it look.
Much appreciated.

Use a socket and a short extension to install those bearings
Don't the bearings need lubrication?
Great video
Now try the "poor man's power steering", look it up, makes steering much easier- $20
I was gonna get the kit but i just ended up getting the set of 4 bearngs for 4$ on the ebay so went with that instead..
How did you find those parts for your riding mower. Mine is 05 YS 4500. Are they the same parts .
