50" deck rebuild
 

So I picked up a 1872 some time ago and i'm finally getting around to rebuilding the deck on it. I like looking at others pictures, so here are some of my progress.

Then i got parts back from sand blaster, and cleaned up the rest.

I plan on replacing bearings, seals and top nuts on spindles. I wound up with two good spindle shafts. And I have one of the " pump bearings" that is good off of another 50" deck. Is there a reason I couldn't use the pump bearing on one spindle (middle) and the shafts on the other two? Also, is the seals the same part # on the pump bearing?

Good work! Looking forward to your updates.

Nice work, also looking forward to updates.:beer2:

Nice job on the deck. It looks better than mine did. The more I hit mine with the wire wheel the more pin holes I found. Atleast my bearings and spindles were all good so that one less thing to fix.

Got a lot of parts painted, wet sanded and repainted. Waiting on bearings and seals. Still need to order couple pulleys. Some progress pics. [ATTACH]Attachment 53423[/ATTACH][ATTACH]Attachment 53421[/ATTACH]
