Finished product, At a cost of a few $$ each , I can afford to replace the bearings every year if I want . Stock spindle bearing for mowers .
Everything was in stock in my shop . 0 $$ outlaid compared to over a $100
each these days up here .
I prefer Frugal thanks

Haha Dave, this is awesome, I was going to ask for the bearings sizes but thought I should not ask for handouts all the time, then you posted one of the sizes.
I'll take mine apart and figure out the other size too.
Thanks, this is very nice, not to throw out the whole thing, but just replace the bearings!!!

They are both the same bearing, but the flat back needs a 5/8" - 1/2" x 1/8" collar bushing and 1/8" thick washer . Or buy a stupid expensive bearing to get the 1/2" hole and collars in the flat back pulley .
