spindle (deck) warranty
 

16 months old, 36 hours, top bearing on the spindle is out. Haven't abused it, did grease it. When I took it to the local dealer, he said that they may warranty it and may not. They'd have to take it apart and see if there was grease in it. Make sense?

By the way, it's a 1046.

Also, if they don't warranty it, can you replace the top bearing only or do you have to buy the whole assembly?

One more question please. Anyone know the belt length that drives the blades? Tractor Supply has their own brand kevlar belts for about half what the CC belts are. I'm thinking 103".

Thanks,

Don't waste your money on the TSC/hardware Belts. they will not hold up except for like a little fractional H.P application.
Either buy genuine OEM or Goodyear insta-power, if you have a non stock application.
They are the only ones that will hold up long term, and made for lawn/garden applications.

Or Gates green belts, but they're just as expensive (if not more expensive) than CC belts.
