Thanks guys. I did try partstree - I was looking for more detail than they show. I didn't know it was a waterpump bearing type mandrel.
A friend stopped by just as I finished my post asking for help. He has several Cub Cadets and helped me get it apart. Time to buy parts. The shaft bearings are fine but the shaft is shot and so is the pulley and key.
I will shop for parts tomorrow.
BTW, of all the decks shown in the link I don't see one like mine with 4 wheels plus the antiscalp roller.
Once before I gave the whole number as on my deck tag and someone said it wasn't necessary all 50" decks are the same - well that's not my experience.
