Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

For the Case 224. Seems to have trouble there,

Are all 3 spindles broken away from the deck? I have never seen that on a CCI deck.

Noel, with your braising/welding skill, I'm really surprised you haven't put a new 3/16" plate on top where the old one is broken!

No, not yet spike. But the other two are very close. If the pulley covers had not been on there, it would not have rusted there.

Not a simple job to get the deck apart. Apparently.
But that whole section that is/was under the pulley covers is mostly gone. So the whole section needs to be done. Winter fun maybe. It should have been last winters fun, but no, I didn’t do it.

Save those spindle assemblies. The cast iron housings are compatible with a lot of case ingersoll decks except for the 60" decks. Some case ingersoll decks had cast aluminum housings that pitted and in some cases could crack. I replaced the aluminum housings in my early RM48 deck with cast iron housings from a case deck.

I'm not sure if the spindles are cast iron or steel but you guys get the idea
