****this post needs moved to the proper area
The 289 is one of the best decks Cub ever built but their roller design is crap.
My deck rollers were also shot but the replacement rollers are too much $.
I made my own rollers and have 500+ hours on my deck and the rollers are still going strong.
I took some 2" schedule 80 PVC pipe, a Goodyear 56038 hose, (8) 3/4"x2" flange bearings, (8) 3/4 shaft collars and a new 3/4 shaft and assembled as below. This was probably more money than buying replacement rollers but they last forever. When I do it again on another deck I will use different bearings because the flange bearings were pretty expensive.
