Rebuilding 42" deck
 

I have been working on my mower deck getting ready for next year.
It needs new spindle bearings. And the deck needed some patching and a good coat of paint.

Spindles removed and ready to start cleaning and sanding.

Some of the smaller pieces painted and ready to go.

Excellent job, Diz! :ThumbsUp:

Looks great! It's a good thing you won't need that deck for a few months, because that's how long it takes for that valspar paint to dry:Whistle:

New spindle bearings arrived. I got everything assembled and ready to go.
