Thanks guys, I appreciate the opinions. I agree,if I am going to pay near new price,I'll just go and get new. I re-looked at those this morning and thought I would probably be in the same shape as I am in now and then even further behind since I would have invested in these.The shafts and bearings seem good with no slop,bearing roughness etc,but when I bolt them back together on the deck,I get alot of side to side play. Upon looking with the blade off,I see the coned shaped cup is where the slop is. I am thinking this is the piece that will center the shaft so it doesn't wobble. I really don't need the mower deck as much as I do the front blade so it's not a big deal...It's just I can't let it alone as I want perfection or at least nice to use in case. Something I believe you all know hat I am talking about...lol
