So I'm at the cross roads do I put in the newer 6" PTO so that I spin my blower at the proper speed, which is cheaper than the OEM one. Or do I spend the money to keep it OEM and still spin the blower slower, which works but not as good. I guess I just dont know if I put the larger one on would I need to change the pulleys on the Haban deck? Or would spinning it faster do a better job with out harming my deck?

I would just replace the bearing. It's only about 10 bucks from the local bearing shops.
