Since he is a plant mechanic I know he is somewhat limited on what he has for machines. I don't know if he can cut a key way or not. I guess that this started as a challenge and turned into an experiment. If he can find a cost efficient way to rebuild over replacing these spindles.
I really can't believe that someone hasn't come up with a system to rebuild or replace these. If you figure $150 for a new spindle, if all 3 are bad, you are at $450. how much is a deck really worth? I have not done any measuring to see if any of the new style spindles would fit. add in the out dated blades (odd sized & hard to find) and it may be next to impossible to find a reasonably priced alternative.
