Default 2550 spindle failure. Replacement part?
Well my 2550 started making an aweful racket yesterday. got off and could see the pulley for the center blade was leaning to one side. I keep them greased, but got this mower from the previous owner about a year and half ago. Not sure if he kept them greased. Anyway, this is what I found after taking the blade and spindle spacer off.

You can see the cast around the upper right broke. Anyway, when I took the spindle off, about 5 pieced fell out of it.



So according to my parts book, I need part #4 which is part number 918-3129B. So I can't find that part listed. I have found multiple 918-3129A and 918-3129C, but no B. Would A or C work? in inspected the spindle bolt and its fine. No scoring or wear of any type and not bent and I tried the grease fitting and grease is still coming out of the hole in the middle. Both spacers are good as well. Pulley is good too. I just need a replacement spindle. Would this one work? Or is it crap or what? http://www.amazon.com/Spindle-Assemb.../dp/B00J5LVI8I

I purchased these for one of my 3000 series decks.

Here are the seals you will need. Put the bottom ones in backwards so they don't push out when greased.

Bearings...if needed.

The ones you purchased have the seals and bearings included.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
