Don’t know if you are still active on UA-cam or not, but I would like to thank you. You inspired me to do a frame off restoration on my dad‘s 1974 cub cadet 149. It turned out great and I am really glad I watched all of your videos, they gave me inspiration and confidence. Thank you again, my friend.❤
$148 and hopefully the next 2 are put together right. I've put the 520-H on hold until we get through hockey season, weekends are jam packed. Nice video buddy... you keep reminding me I need to sit down and practice my guitar!
I feel your pain on those Cub parts. All 3 of my deck's spindles were luckily just fine...and the thing still cost me a wallet full on just pulleys and springs. Like you say, we'd just be out getting into trouble if it weren't for these little tractors. Great update 500.
Man that is alot for a spindle! I just sent that much on parts for my cub. I'm glad that my deck was rebuilt when i got my 128. Good luck with the deck!
ya gotta do what ya gotta do, glad to see you back. that`ll be ten times the machine you`ll ever buy nowadays! shit its sort of a bargain when you think about it. my dad always said,"buy quality,..... once."
Excellent job once again! I'm a little confused because I'm subscribed to you, but I was not emailed about this vid. No worries, I'll just keep checkin. You rock! Keep up the great work.......
Don’t believe the law won vs. 500 lol. Scott would get more horsepower out of it. Love them dogs. Long ears can stay with us, we love him 500. Tex luvs the German. Pour a shot and roll up them dollar bills. Best channel on YT right here. Big thumbs up my friend!
thats the thing with projects waitin for the money to get the parts. somebody needs to make those bearings so they can be re built Im sure it could be done. you gotta do it right just takes time, great video.
i found them at a local parts place that carries cub parts . its called plainfield equipment in plainfield indiana . but any decent parts place that carries cub parts should be able to help you . good luck on the project
An impact will remove the blade nuts in a heartbeat. Also you can remove the bearings from the (water pump style) spindles you are working on. Simply remove the seal on both ends, and remove the bearing retainers (cages) from both ends. Like you did at approx 3 minutes in to this video. Then take a pick and slide all the ball bearings to one side of the groove. This allows you to push the shaft to the opposite side and remove the balls with a 90 degree pick. Reassembly is reverse order, and it works best to hold the balls in place with grease, then snap the bearing retainer back over the ball bearings..
Had the same problem on one of my decks, actually split the bearing trying to press it apart. At the time you still could by the same bearing setup, but then the two "cup" halves the spindle sets in would be worn enough to let the assembly move around inside it. At least with the new ones the bearings are replaceable. Wonder if there is another mower deck out there that has spindle assemblies that would work on Cub Cadet decks that are serviceable, that you could by used to save some money?
Hey 500. My dad took my idler pulley to his work and just heated it up then some how greased it works fine now been using it for about a year now. He put it in a high temp oven.
@kortt i got a lathe and mill . but im not good enough on them for that :) pressing it back together would be interesting . thanks for watching buddy .
Good work I wish I had enough money to get things that perfect I only do transmission, motor, and paint perfect but, I can't afford the deck to be that perfect in the past I have been know to wait until the the spindle explodes to replace it.
It is an expensive hobby, but like you said the money could be spent on worst stuff like drugs..... Love your Wheel Horse, and Cub!!!! Is the sheperd the puppy that you had? Wow he has grown!!! Merrie-Merrie
"damn expensive hobby" never heard it said more plain! at least you got somethin when youre done for your money. unlike bar hopping or hittin the slots. hey man if you ever get a chance -- no rush --- can you take a shot of your wheelhorse brake rod and brake band set up. i got a similar wheelhorse to yours I'm working on. somone had ripped it apart. And im not sure how the brake band goes on. looks like it could go two ways .
Wow, $148??? That's what my fuel pump cost! It's going to be nice when it's done though. Brass pole place you say... lol Is that a recycling company? lol :-) Thumbs UP!
Your not crazy, but IH Cub prices are plenty damn crazy! Gotta do it to finish it up right. They gotcha cuz they know they can. Next time you go to your Cub dealer, do like I always do. Walk in with your hands up. Just kiddin' Great vid!
hows it goin 500 i really liked all of the videos you made for your 129 restoration im very proud of you. i know its been a long time sense restored it i was just wondering do you still have your old hood if so let me know please 500 thank you.
loved your version of that song....maybe you will get lucky and find those other two spindles for cheaper...now I know the part number I will pm you if I see any.
I know what you mean on prices!! If ya work on a mower for someone and tell the price to fix it, They go ape sh#$!!!! Great Video 500!! Its beer thirty here got to go! Have a good one!!!
@cummingsautocare now dang it . im not a dummy :) people keep saying these are replaceable bearings when what your seeing is a grease seal not a bearing , there are ball bearings with about a half inch diameter pressed into the housing . i dont think you really watched or have seen this type .
Awesome job dude! Good to see someone that does things the right way rather than cutting corners!

I enjoy how you can do so many different shots, angles and still keep the dialogue connected.
Good job on your video.
Nice background music, and nice song at the beginning. Those prices are insane!
It will be worth it in the end bro. Good to see a new video up.
