Well in its never ending quest to put my machine through the wringer, this last weekend after our snow storm my QA took a hit. One (or two?) of the bearings in the gearbox went bye-bye so now the input shaft is at an angle coming out of the gearbox since it has no support. My question is, is this going to be bad/difficult to fix (i.e. do the bearings need pressed in or are they set in a kept in place by a snap ring)? And where, if anywhere, can I get replacement bearings? The part numbers according to the Cub Cadet site are 475-627-R91 for part 9 (bearing) and 485-306-R1 for part 12 (an oil seal). Or am I better off looking for a new gearbox? It still works as it sits, although I'm sure it's not healthy to use like it is. Thanks for any help guys!
