Thank you for watching
great video thanks for going over the install. take care and have a great weekend
Almost said to myself you forgot to put the guards back on but great tutorial on why you didn't
Those bent taps you cut off are the air uplift that pull the grass up for mowing and then blow the grass out the shoot. Without them it will not function very well.
I was planning on replacing them with High Lift blades that winter but I didn’t have them at the moment and it was shaking terribly. I have a recent video of replacing them with high lift blades on my channel.
I agree with you that 400 something hours shouldn't be considered much. I have a 2006 LT1050, and surprisingly, the manual specifically says life expectancy is 287 hours. I'm at a little over 530 on mine now. Thanks for the helpful video.
You’re welcome. 287 hours is what is says eh? That’s pretty specific 🤨
I pulled apart a so called greasable type spindle to find that the bearings had the seal still installed on the inside which means that no grease was going through the bearings! There is always a chance the manufacture did the bearing correct but?
He should have taken the spindles apart and removed the seals on the inside part of the bearings to allow grease to get to the bearings!!!!!!
He (me) replaced the spindles completely. The old spindles did not come apart and the new ones had a grease zerk that I greased generously. That is fine according to the manufacturer.
Are you Lars Ulrich?
No but I play a god like drummer on tv😉
Just replace the blades!
