- In this episode, I put new spindles and blades on my neighbor's mower deck. Then take it for a test drive.

Just got my craftsman running again and with electric start
It made me happy to see a new vid from you, I hope you're doin well during all of this
Rust-oleum "Sun Yellow" is a great match for JD Yellow. It's only 6.95 here in Florida. I actually like it better as it's just a touch deeper yellow.
Great tip and thanks for watching!!
My 2008 JD la115 model came with the greaseable spindles. The plastic covers have an access hole in line with the nipples to be able to grease them. Thought that was a useful improvement from JD. Too bad their decks rust so badly Maybe if they were aluminum like some Honda's have.
Able to add grease should be a requirement. I wish they would build the decks out of stainless steel, but then I would have less mud mowers. Thanks for watching!!
Got the inspiration from you to make our first mud mower, picked up a Murray for free from a neighbor and got it running the same day. Now it’s been pulley flopped and swapped on the back from a 9in to a 6. Of course the belt was an inch to short so back to the store for the 3rd time in the last 2 days. Making a Video soon on it if you want to check it out. Thanks for the great videos.
I like to take my mower to the store with me to avoid a bunch of trips. Let me know when your video is out. thanks for watching.
chud327, yeah that would look pretty funny me siting out in the parking lot working on the mower on my trailer, but I probably have done that anyway. Got the belt today still the wrong size, darn clutch/brake pedal was set in parking brake when I measured it. 🤦♂️ Video might be a bit later if my luck goes on like this. 🤣
I was hoping I'd see a video from you soon! Post more. Nice job on the deck rebuild!
I am working on a bunch of stuff and should have more out soon. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video! idk seems out of place in the mower clan good thing it was just visiting 👍
I 100% agree... You can tell by the turf tires it isn't mine. Thanks so much for watching.
Need to do that to my craftsman lt3000. Thanks for the vid!
Bring back the mud
Will do and coming soon. thanks for watching.
the deck needs to be spray painted in yellow
Should get a coat every time it is off to help it last. Thanks again for watching!!
chud327 is a mechanic
I try and thanks for watching!!
How's she goin'? Nicely done. Mowing like a boss now buddy!! Take care.
Thanks 👍and thanks for watching.
Do u have a 20hp Briggs and Stratton engine head?
I put new ones on my craftsman couple days ago
Sweet and thanks for watching.
John Deere's decks were so much better designed than mtd decks. Better air flow,better spindles,better attachment points,and better adjustment points. I've a 2013 cub cadet ltx1040 that's been a good reliable machine,but I've always struggled to keep a good cut. With g5 gatorblades it cuts pretty good as long as the grass isnt to high. Mtd's old deck designs only had height adjustments on one side and mine has dropped over the years. If I level it its maximum cutting height is now only 3",which is ok,but just.
I am currently working on a troy bilt mower and I am very confused by it's deck. I have always had good deck luck with my craftsman mowers. Thanks for watching!
What do you think about cutting holes in the pulley covers so you can grease the spindles without pulling the deck?
That is a great idea, I should have turned them to the inside... Thanks for watching.
You need to do more mower vids
Working on some right now, sorry to keep you waiting and thanks for watching.
@@chud327 👍
Do the new quills hav greasless bearings? Do they hav open face bearings in them. Cuz if the bearings are sealed then wats the use of a greese zerk? Id like to know.
That is a good question and thanks for watching.
First🙋🏻♂️
Sweet and thanks so much. New video soon, lets see if you are first again. thanks for watching.
@@chud327 make a vid abt ur nice truck
I've only done that about a million times, i used to work for john deere !
Where did you get that John deer
This is actually my neighbors, he got it at Lowe’s. I got mine for 80 bucks off of Facebook marketplace. Thanks for watching
If my Craftsman has 2 blades can I take 1 blade off and cut my grass my deck 42
You can but it would only be a 21 inch deck. Thanks for watching
Don't forget to level the spindle holes !
Did I tell you this? If I did I'll delete. You might have some new viewers.
A friend in the army was sitting on his bunk and sobbing. I asked "What's the matter, Johnny? Did you get a Dear John letter?" He answered, "No, this is a John Deere letter. We've been saving for a new tractor and the money I've been sending home from my Army pay put us over the top. Here's the picture. Ain't she a beauty (sniff)?"
Why did you not take the brake pully assembly apart? Did you just want to do it the easy way? or did you not know how to do it? Seems like a incomplete video. Kind of misleads the viewers that do now know how to do this type of job. And that are trying to learn.
I guess I need to change the title to how to change spindles. There was nothing wrong with the brakes, why take them apart. If the customer had wanted new brakes, it would have been in the video. Sorry if anyone feels mislead and thanks for watching.
Dont forget to lube the tensioner bracket
My old John Deere has the same deck
Looks like it needs a blade brake on the left side
Takes a 10 and a 15 mm socket , should only take about 45 minutes!
