@@EliminatorPerformance I'm not the 'Waterman', but I found this video helpful. I got my flat needle bearings on ebay but they have them on amazon too. ua-cam.com/video/F-Alj_xvjJY/v-deo.html
Did this upgrade when my mower was 8 hours old, and was surprised by the amount of wear on the wheel axle. I also added thrust bearings to the spindle at the time. Poor man power steering they call it. At the time all the pars combined were cheaper than replacing a hub. Theres probably 50 tricks of little things a person can do to those mowers so nothing wears out where it's steel on steel. One great trick is add a plastic washer made from a milk jug between the mower belt tightener with some grease. That wear spot is done and will last forever. Do the same to the drive belt tightener. That plastic milk jug material will never wear out, nor will the steel tighteners either. My mower is 130 hours old, better than new, literally.
Didn't film this one completely as I was kind of short on time, like I said it's just 2 e clips and washers, undo a nut on the tie rod end, it's fairly straightforward.
Good video. I'm going thru a steering issue on my LA140. I have already replaced the steering gear, but noticed while turning, the tire was fighting against the steer. So these steering arms are none adjustable, so I am guessing the last owner hit something pretty hard, my spindles look pretty good still, but will change them anyway especially flipping for a new mower deck. They only come in green color now.
How about adding needle thrust bearing between the cast iron front axle and the wheel axle itself??? This would really make steering easy. Nice work too.
@@mbazzy123 we usually grease them to keep water out, some kits have steel spacers that take up the empty space. You could also peel the inner seal and then pack them with grease
Good information. Just to clarify, the roller bearing will also be able to spin on the spindle in addition to the bearings turning? Will that also cause wear on the spindle? Thanks.
No not that I've noticed. They rolled significantly easier, and you have to remember the weight of the mower will be pushing the spindle down on the bearings inner race, so the inner race doesn't move much. If it's too tight of a fit, you'll have a hard time getting the wheel on and off lol
Did you Reverse the front wheels? I see the zerk fitting is on the inside, Schematic shows 12:38 it on the outside. I prefer both valve and zerk to be inside on my X320 as I have Chrome/Stainless hubcaps. Great video. Will the Torrington type roller/ Thrust setup work for all JD steering Spindle setups?
I did not flip them, that's how they are on this unit,, it's a customers machine as are most of the equipment in my videos. I've never seen grease fittings on the outside of a wheel though. And yes, the bearings will work on any spindle/axle shaft, just check the dimensions of your factory wheel bushing, and then cross reference that with a bearing.
Good video Jake. One small question, did you or do you recommend removing the inside rubber seal on bearing so it can accept grease when wheel is greased? Have a good week. Rick
Motorcoach Tech it is the old man at EP here: i personally think that pulling the inside seal and filling the entire inside area of the rim opening where the bearings are installed will increase the life of the two bearings but only if the owner maintains pumping grease inside this area on a regular basis. How much longer this increase will be beyond the life of the bearings installed with both seals on is subject to the maintenance. Therefore, i would not suggest it especially when these sealed bearings with last a very long time with both seals left on but it is important to have the axle greased for ease of wheel removal if necessary. Lets see what Jake suggests!
I suggest just leaving the seals on the bearings (because it's a customers) and worse case, just replace a bearing. If it was my machine, then removing the inner seals and pumping the grease in there would be ideal. As the old man said, upkeep is essential. Grease keeps the moisture out, and keeps the bearings lubricated.
Just a quick question . . . I know this probably defeats the purpose of using bearings but . . . did you regrease the spindle shaft through the wheel hub zirk? Thanks, great video!
You can if you want to, it helps prevent water from getting in. However, some of the kits sell steel spacers that take up the empty space in there. Really there's no need when they're 2-RS bearings (dual sided rubber seals). If there was a single rubber seal on the outer side, you would definitely want to Grease them!

Very good video on an easy swap to a better part, too bad it cost your customer new spindles. You would think newer models have bearings? Do you know if they do or still using bushings? Interesting to see that bushing part number also fits applications on Ariens, AYP, Honda, Husqvarna and Toro not just the John Deere!
Yes they use these bushings on the cheaper models, the higher end models use bearings. Same wheels, bearings can be swapped over for an additional cost. Thanks for watching!
My 2020 JD 170 ( I bought new) has wheel hub bushings (Not ball or roller bearings) that I'll be replacing soon since I found about 0.025" of wear on the hub shaft, Due to the factory bushings. I just recently added the Thrust bearings onto the Spindle shaft to ease steering. Very poor John Deere factory engineering !!!
Man I changed my front tires and now i cant get one of them to stay on haha. The stupid e clip keeps popping out, I had to finish mowing the other day with vise grips holding it on haha. I have tried a couple. Im about to just put a weld bead on the end of the axel haha
You may have opened the e clip up, try squeezing it back together just a little bit with a pair of pliers. If that doesn't work, you may have to replace it.
There are washers and thin thrust bearings you can order that will fit on the top section of the spindle and at some point we will be doing a video on the part numbers and the installation. Thanks this has always been on our mind especially when customers never keep grease in the spindles and they dry up and get stiff.
I had to do this on my JD D140 before 100 hours , these mowers are pure JUNK . I will never have a JD mower again. No adjustment on the steering rods , pure trash. I am a Cub Cadet guy now. Good vid BTW.
I remove the plastic ring on the inside so i can greasr it using the wheel zert every 6 months and remember there is also a grease zert in the middle of the front axle
My JD 105 was stanced too but had the plastic bushings with grease fittings. It now has front wheels with bearings I saved from something which took most of the slop out. Have you ever seen where a mouse nest ate holes in the cylinder wall? Little bastards pee sulfuric acid apparently.
Yes mouse urine is very acidic, if left long enough, it can do damage to the aluminum block. I've never seen one worn through, but the aluminum near the coils (near the nest) was very oxidized and needed cleaning
Common mistake made when doing this... many people don't realize. "REMOVE THE PLASTIC SEAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE NEW BEARINGS" otherwise, there is no way the grease will get into the bearing. The only grease in the new bearing is what they use when assembling them at the factory "and is not much". Use a small screwdriver, pick tool, or the point of a knife to pop the seal out. Also, drill a tiny weephole somewhere towards the center of the wheel hub. This will allow you to see when it is full, so there's no way of blowing the outside bearing seals out.
Just a question I always wonder why the trial attorneys haven’t seen the living hell out of John Deere because every tractor they sold for the last 30 years has rust without any reason most of the tractor starter Ruston the laminate on the dealers lot

There was no point in adding grease to the wheel hub zerks after installing sealed bearings.
It packs grease in between the 2 bearings preventing water from getting in there
