Update no. 2
After working on it more and spinning the blades more, I have determined that the spindles are still good. Also after some hard work removing the blades, I removed the spindles. I also removed the back hangers, straightened the shell the best I could. I also noticed a crack, so I welded it, I think I did good for a 13 year old, ground it flush.
Everytbing is off except fot the idler assembly, which is rusted too much for a socket wrench.
As you may see the underside is pitted but not so much.
