Spindle Service Procedure 02960553B and 02960553C
- 1. Remove blade bar or pan.
- 2. Remove hydraulic motor.
- 3. Remove spindle assembly from mower deck.
- 4. Drain remaining lubricant from housing.
- 5. Using a 3/16" cape chisel, bend out the staking indentations on each side of the bearing adjusting nut. To do this, place the chisel in the groove and parallel to the shaft. Drive the chisel downward until the indentation is free of the shaft and ...
- 6. Using the same chisel, straighten the tang on the lockwasher (if equipped with a lockwasher). NOTE: The lockwasher will not be installed during assembly if the spindle uses the staked adjusting nut.
- 7. Remove bearing adjusting nut and lockwasher (if equipped). Discard these parts. They are not re- usable. Install a new adjusting nut when assembling.
- 8. Screw the original blade bar bolts into the flange of the spindle shaft until they contact the bearing ring (see Figure Mnt-B-0015).
- 9. In a clockwise pattern, rotate each bolt 1/4 turn (see Figure Mnt-B-0015). Continue turning the bolts 1/4 turn at a time (maximum of 3 turns), until the special shank bolts (P/N 02964353) will thread into the spindle.
- 10. Remove the original bolts and replace them with the shank bolts. Screw the shank bolts in until they contact the bearing ring.
- 11. In a clockwise pattern, rotate the bolts 1/4 turn at a time until the spindle is free from the housing.
- 12. Remove the seal retaining ring from the housing using a flat screwdriver or similar tool.
- 13. Remove the seal and bearing.
- 14. A punch or similar tool can be used to remove the bearing cups from the housing if the cups are not to be re-used.
- Cleaning
  - 1. Clean housing and all related parts thoroughly and dry.
  - 2. Protect parts from contamination.
- Inspection
- Assembly
  - 1. Place upper bearing cones in bearing oven.
  - 2. Seat bearing cups (outer races) in housing using a press and proper installation tools in good condition. CUPS MUST BE FULLY SEATED. If bearing cup cocks in bore and seizes, do not continue to assemble spindle.
  - 3. Lubricate lower bearing cone with LPS.
  - 4. Coat the outside of the seal with silicone and install the lower bearing, seal, and retaining ring into the housing, using the correct seal installer.
  - 5. Place a light film of silicon or permatex on the inside diameter of the bearing ring and seat the ring on the spindle shaft, using the proper tool and press.
  - 6. Lightly lubricate the lip of the seal.
  - 7. Using the 2-3/4" tubing to prevent the cup and cone from contacting each other, press the spindle shaft through the lower bearing and seal. Make sure the bearing is seated against the bearing ring.
  - 8. Place Locktite on threads of the bearing adjusting nut (flange nut).
  - 9. Using gloves, install the heated upper bearing cone on the shaft immediately and push it all the way against the cup. Lubricate the bearing with LPS.
  - 10. Install the bearing adjusting nut. Tighten the nut until the spindle shaft can not be turned. Loosen the nut 1/ 4 turn. Place a soft, clean cloth over the top of the spindle assembly. Place an aluminum block over the end of the spindle shaft and ...
  - 11. Remove the cloth, being careful not to allow any contamination into the spindle. Tighten the nut until a rolling torque of 16-21 inch-pounds is reached. (If the seal was not lubricated, add 10 inch-pounds).
  - 12. Stake the nut with a blunt, round nosed punch. Do not tear the nut.
  - 13. Install the grease fitting into the hole in the center of the housing (between the bearings) and fill the housing with EP#2 grease, stopping when the lubricant covers the upper bearing (approximately 11 oz.).
  - 14. Install the breather plug in the top hole.
  - 15. Install spindle in mower deck and assemble in reverse order. Torque the blade bar or pan bolts to 400 ft- lbs. Torque motor to spindle bolts to 85 ft-lbs. Torque spindle to deck bolts at 175 ft-lbs.
