Be sure to check to see if your mower is compatible.
I thought he was gonna impale himself with that rebar when he leaned over... glad that didn't happen. Great video!
I was surprised with the press , cool stuff 😊😊You proved her wrong and used it 😮
Gentlemen see if the content of my short novel answers many of the questions you have, and hopefully some more you hadn't thought of yet.
Pull the inside seal off the bearings, and continue using the grease, and it'll last 100% longer than it will as a sealed bearing.
Also pull the plastic bushing off your steering shaft, and go get a block bearing that will bolt down to the support brace the shaft goes through.
That will improve the sloppy rattling steering shaft that is inherent to the cheap design they use.
Cost maybe $10.00, but granted that was several years ago, and we all know how that's changed dramatically.
Regardless it will save you money in the cost of replacing the gear at the bottom of the shaft, and the cheap metal gear that your tie rods are connected to.
By adding the block bearing, it allows you to actually put positive pressure on the gear, and the stamped quadrant they have in place.
By pulling back towards the driver's seat when you are marking the position of the holes required to mount the bearing your applying positive pressure on the two gears that are your steering gear box, and this in turn does away with the piss poor design of using a plastic bushing as a support bearing to align the shaft to to the sector gear under the mower frame..
There's even a way to make actual articulating tie rods to eliminate even more of the sloppy steering this design has built into it, and basically its designed to fail after the year warranty has expired.
Same thing with the spindle on the mower deck .while there is a grease fitting there.
The same condition that you have with the replacement bearings you used on the wheels exist.
Take the blades off, pop the shaft out, and then use a brass rod, or a socket extension to knock these bearings out.
You see that you have grease inside the spindle housing, but the bearings are sealed on both sides .
Explain to me how this is getting all the grease that you have made the effort to put into the dam fittings that are a PIA to actually put grease into in the first place, but then to actually design failure into something that can cost up to over $100.00 dollars each if you replace the whole spindle housing and everything that goes inside it.
Here's the deal, you do not have to replace the whole thing.
You can buy the shaft, the bearings, the nut, are the spindle housing itself separately.
Personally I get my bearings from a bearing supply house, and any size town has at least one of these, if not in your town, the next one down the road, because farmers ranchers need bearings, as do a lotta places .simply pull the worn bearings out, take a trip to the supplier, and he can match you up with a better quality bearing by Timkin is one, and there's other ones out there better than the cheap Chinese bearings or wherever they got them
Simply pop the seal off the inside of the bearings that faces inside the spindle and grease them up properly, and they'll last long time.
Hopefully this helps anyone who wants to read this short novel, but I consider it as a look into the crooked way that we're cheated out of more money than they deserve from anyone period.
What do you know it's Inspector Gadget!!!!!!! How the F@#k did a video on wheel bearing go to a bearing on the steering shaft ? Please save your insightful useless information for the bar..
No need for a big hydraulic press. I just did mine by tapping them in with a large socket and hammer. The wheels roll so much easier now and won't wear down the axle over time like the bushing do.
Yard is so green and pretty 😍
HI, when you install a bearing for your wheels never forget to remove the seal of the bearing that goes to the inside of the wheel without that your bearing will not grease when you will put grease with your grease gun, just a tip
Do you mean removing the black seal that goes on the inside?
yes yes@@MrBubblegum1968
Michel these are sealed bearings.
@@littleal2483 If you've ever had experience with sealed bearings You'd know the grease in it isn't worth a damn over time.
@@littleal2483 That's why you unseal them and grease them. They'll last much longer that way than they will sealed.
Thanks for the video.
You should still grease them every year. But you have to remove the inner bearing seals. If you don’t grease can’t get into the bearing
I have the same mower it was given to me because the guy didn't want to do a tune up and a new battery in it and it is a good running and mowing tractor
👍👍
If you remove the inner seal on both bearings then you could grease them. It'd make me feel better being able to grease them
Never needed a press...just tap in with large socket on outer edge....
I did this, bearings didn't last through one lawn cutting (yard is large) and it wore out the rim where the bearing sat. Had t replace the rim. Won't do this again. Grease the bushings and you're good to go.
I understand it’s a bearing, but you can grease them anyways correct?
These appear to be sealed bearings which normally don't require greasing and with the rubber seal protecting the ball bearings in it grease is unlikely to easily get into it. However I would grease it till you can tell a fair amount of grease fills the void area around the axel and between both bearings. Just be sure not it over do it and put pressure between the bearings. As grease gets hot it will naturally seep into the bearings over time. My dad has a bobcat and the deck pulleys have sealed bearings and over time they get dry. It was recommended to him by the shop that sold it to get a syringe and needle and inject oil through the rubber into the bearing itself once it becomes noticeably dry. Just be sure not to routinely grease it as they are sealed and don't require it. The grease you put in after installation will last a long long time sealed between two sealed bearings.
@@joshpod007 thank you very much for the reply. I appreciate it
@@joshpod007, yes ! I JUST replaced one of the bearings in my lawn tractor because it was about to fail and another was starting to "sing" a little. I put in grease with the needle attachment you referred to. Quieted that puppy right down ....so far ... now we wait ....lol. Since I realize there is most likely damage to that bearing, I just ordered a new one for "when that day comes" so I'll be ready ! Have a great day !
Yes you can. I would remove the inner seal on the besrings so the grease gets into the.
They are cheaply made because they aren't made for commercial use. Most of the trouble comes from no maintenance by the owners. Those bearings aren't that well sealed, so if you pump the wheel full of grease, the oil which leaks out of the grease will keep the bearing balls wet & the bearing will last for the life of the mower. Grease will also keep water out. If you heat those rubber covers they will come right off. On a big lot like that, you should change the oil & oil filter at least once a year. Oil is cheap. Lawn tractors are now rather expensive. Air cooled engines run HOT, so use straight 30 weight oil. And keep all air cooling fins clean.
It’s best to grease or never zee the shaft, like every thing they will ware out and have to be replaced
😊😊😊
Does this kit work with the Troy Bilt Super Bronco's?
You had a ratty old screwdriver sitting there. You didn't need to find a piece of rebar.
Those C clips are called E clips to those in the know.
You should have worn rubber gloves.
Tapping the bearings in is easy with a hammer. Just go from side to side or a star pattern so you don't bind the bearing up. A press works in a pinch.
Other than that it was a great video. I watched it to the end. Sorry for nitpicking. The video should help a lot of people.
Claw hammer?
ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THE CONVERSION?
Hi, we are selling this bearing kit, can you put the link under your video please?
Update after a few years ok😊
The axel needs to be greased!
You cut the lifespan of those bearings by pressing them in the way you did.
Why?
@@garyschatz3718 He puts the puck on the inner race of the bearing and then presses it down with stress on the outer race. Creates stress on balls and can even chip and cause micro fractures. I put mine in the refrigerator and chill them down. They dropped right in. A little steel wool on the shaft and they slide right on.
@@Duewester . I didn’t have a puck that was hollowed out and the inner protruded more than the outer. I saw other guys smacking them in with a hammer so I figured the press would be better than that. Maybe if I do it again I will stick the bearing in the freezer first. They’re cheap so if they wear out it won’t be a big deal.
@@garyschatz3718 Oh hey @Gary Schatz. I retired from industrial maintenance and was even a trainer (OSHA approved stuff) and I didn't mean to offend. One of primary reasons for bearing failure is improper installation.
Try using a socket or pipe of the size of the outer race. It really shouldn't take THAT much force to get the bearings into the hub.
@@Duewester I do a lot of OSHA training myself. But, obviously no mechanical training. I just piddle around fixing my junky stuff. When my boys move out I will buy a better mower.
DON'T PRESS ON THE INNER RACE!!! PRESS ONLY ON THE OUTER RACE!!! 🙄🤭
He did it right
@@M70ACARRY No he didn't, He pressed on the inner race as well due to it being proud.
Theoretically here... consider the axles are not a press fit into the bearings, but rather the inner race of the bearings will essentially only contact the axle primarily on the bottom or straight opposite at the top. The bearings won't actually carry and distribute the weight about the bearing. IMO you're better off just going with bushings, but that's just IMHO.
Un u
Using a 22 ton press to install a bearing that literally dropped in because of the wear lmao! Well it was worth a good laugh watching this wanker work
Mine didn’t drop in
One easy tap with a rubber mallet and it’s done. Took me 8 mins to do both wheels and put the mower in the garage
is there a number on the bearing?
