Zero Turn Mower Spindle Repair Great Dane Chariot

[Needmorehorsepower]

Nice catch and repair on the mower Ed :)

[edzgarage]

@Needmorehorsepower Thanks Scott!

Good thing it didn't "explode" and cause more damage. That desighn does look a lot better.

[edzgarage]

@2LateIWon You're right. I'm glad there wasn't anymore damage.

[edzgarage]

@Dude1yt Yes it is. I love it because it goes down so low.

[IHcubcadet]

Wow that thing really had that pulley and nut for lunch. Iv seen this happen a few times.

[edzgarage]

@IHcubcadet It sure did! Thanks for watching! 

[mrwiggles2]

Yeah, that spindle consumed itself. Once it starts slipping, they heat up really fast. It probably went quicker than slower. That's a nice zero turn, good stuff. Grease fitting on top is the only way to go, you look at them, you'll put grease on it. If its buried under the deck, it doesn't get done.

[edzgarage]

@mrwiggles2 I bet you're right. I think it just started to eat it's self up in last couple mows.

I think at this point I would have replaced them all. Nice vid. Glad I subscribed

[edzgarage]

@bugnutz43847683 I did check the other two and they were perfect. Thanks for the comment!

Ummmm, I am just a bit confused Ed.. It was not that long ago that YOU and Master Outside Guy replaced one of these on that same Deck? I remember that is was also $90.00.. So does this mean you should go ahead and plan on the 3rd one going out next? I do LIKE the Top side Grease Fittings. That is Much Easier.. Thanks for Sharing..

[edzgarage]

@vidman008 lol you are correct. I did replace the same one (different parts) this time. The spindle shaft was damaged, but we thought it was okay. I guess the little defects were too much and it self destructed. Hopefully we wont be doing this repair again! 

[vidman008]

@edzgarage .. Tell your Boy to stop running over Ant Hills with the Mower... lol

[vidman008]

Good Repair job on the Spindle aka Pulley :-p

[edzgarage]

@vidman008 Thanks Ron... I hate when I don't say what I mean... It's such a surprise when I go to the editing room and hear what I really said! lol

[SuperDutyManiac]

didn't you make a video one time about fixing the spindle on your neighbors great dane lawn mower?

[edzgarage]

@SuperDutyManiac Good memory! This is the same mower. I bought it from her when she moved. This was the same spindle we fixed too. There was some wear on the spindle teeth when we put it back together. It must have been too much and it vibrated it's self to death!

[flynnlandscaping]

ed time for a exmark

[edzgarage]

@flynnlandscaping No, not yet... I just fixed it! lol

[flynnlandscaping]

@edzgarage hook your son up with some commercial stuff
