  • Taryl found cheaper spindles online that you can use to replace those expensive (and even out of stock) Simplicity/Snapper ones. He also goes over the proper way to install those spindles and what to look out for. No repair happens without running into a few issues along the way, but master Taryl will get you through it in order to get this job DONE. So sit back and laugh and learn with head Grass Rat Taryl Dactal. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

    Nice find on those spindles! I saw the same problem with my neighbor's tractor. I went on Amazon and bought two pairs of roller bearings for $15 and swapped them into the rims instead of replacing the bushings. The wear/damage on the spindle no longer matters since the roller bearings rotate. One of these days I'll do the same to my tractor.

    • @tommak6516
      @tommak6516 2 месяца назад +4

      I am guessing you mean BALL BEARINGS and you are correct in that is a much easier and cheaper way. $15 in parts a lot better than $75 in spindles and easier/faster to install.

  • @allenmarshall9061
    @allenmarshall9061 2 месяца назад +2

    The first thing you do if you buy a new mower with the bushings, buy off your choice of web site the upgrade kit which includes 4 ball bearings to replace the 2 bushings. The last kit I bought $22.00 included roller thrust bearings with stainless washers. When new all the weight of the front end of the lawn tractor is between the axle and spindle making it harder to turn, plus wearing out the spindles.

    Hey Taryl! I have a John Deere with the same exact front wheel and spindle set up. I replaced my wheel bushings with sealed wheel bearings. Works great!! No more worn out spindles and bushings and no more messy grease collecting grass and dirt on the inside of the wheel from grease oozing out. Just a tip that worked good for me.

    • @paulwindisch1423
      @paulwindisch1423 2 месяца назад +2

      I also have a JD LA135 that wore out the front bushings and spindles, and I did the same as you. Replaced the spindles with JD parts and installed flanged bearings in the wheels. Over 400 hours on that setup and still no play at all. Also, while the spindles were off, I replaced the washers (the one Taryl mistakenly missed the first time) with two thin races and a Torrington thrust bearing. Almost like having power steering. It especially helps when the snow blower is hanging off the front. Still a little hard to steer with the blower, but much better with the bearings between the spindle and the axle beam.

    You COULD dry lube spindles, but you'd have to pull the wheels every time you use it.
    My advice would be (for sandy or dust) to grease it every. run, a bit of excess to clean up but, filled with grease isn't allowing dirt or water in, and greeze is cheeper than partz!

    Hey Taryl, What about bearings? You're the last person I'd expect to install bushings. Up here in Ontario my Briggs dealer wanted $20 for each bushing. Bearings were actually cheaper. Unless you're looking for job security bearings are the way to go. Thanks for another great video. According to ebay spindles are made in China.

    Hi Tarly and Co
    Investors over people and company, and when that company fails due to people not buying because it's crap, they'll find another one to drain.

    Just recently played this game with my Husqvarna Mower, about the same. Ordered new black plastic wheel caps off Amazon, old ones were hard and cracked, pack of 4, cheap. I put a couple shots of grease in 'em at each oil change.

    Nice repair, you could probably save them old ones weld them up and round them out again would be just like new.

    If you were a really cheap DIY guy, you might be able to build up the worn section with some welding & then grind or file it down. It might be tough to get it right. That makes me glad that all I have is a little dust and no sand. He must have mowed a lot to wear the tires out. Too bad we never saw what engine it has in it.
