It is possible to rebuild the deck spindles. I am doing it right now on a 42" deck w/cast ends and just completed a rebuild on a 38" deck. The parts are available to do rebuild the spindles, but they are costly. The spindles run about $100 apiece; the bearing kits run about $40 apiece.

If you want to completely rebuild the mower, the shroud under the mower that looks like a wave is also available. With the 38" deck, I took off the cast iron ends and the cast center piece and had them sand blasted and powder coated along with the belt guards. I reassembled it with stainless steel bolts and put all the decals back on. Hopefully, it will be good for another 50 years of mowing.

Good Luck!
