Mower Deck greasing
I refurbished the spindles on my 54" (324) deck for my 1864 not too long ago...the fellow I purchased it from said that he always had a hard time greasing the spindles...so, being aware or that, I payed particular attention to the spindle shafts, zerks and the flow of grease from the flat area where the grease is expelled from the hole in the side of spindle when rebuilding.
I put the upper bearing on one of the shafts together with the upper spacer (not installed in the spindle housing) just to see how the grease flowed out. To my surprise, the grease DID NOT COME OUT!!! The upper bearing inner race completely covered the flat section with the hole...completely blocking the flow of grease! After some thought, I decided to extend the flat section on the spindle shaft by carefully filing it, to allow the flat to extended beyond the bearing race, so that grease could be expelled from between the upper and lower bearings to grease them. I'm not sure if this was a manufacturing oversight or not... Anyway, extending the flat section of each spindle was a simple solution to enable the grease to flow where it needed to go! Perhaps the 48" decks have a similar problem...

I probably shouldn't post based on my shaky memory but I've had a number of these spindles apart in the last few years.
I remember the flat but I don't remember it restricting any grease from going into the zerk. I'm thinking I thought the flat was to force grease through the upper bearing and then have it travel down to the bottom bearing. Maybe I'm wrong? PS. The first one of these spindles I did about five years ago, someone previously had put the bottom seal in upside down but the seal lips were blown out. So when I re-assembled, I followed suit and put the new seal in wrong. I assumed there was some kind of relief in the casting that would let excess grease out. I was wrong. The spindle wouldn't take grease and I had to flip the seal.

The flat should be positioned between the 2 bearings to allow grease to flow into both of them. You can adjust how it's positioned with the nut on the pulley and the nut on the blade.

That makes sense. No need to file that flat.

took 2 outer shafts out, looks to me both top seals are in upside down, you can see the grove in rubber. with blade nut off i grease it and all grease only did top bearing and top of shaft. pulled shaft back out and bottom of shaft and bottom bearings completly dry. bottom seal looks correct, the flat side of seal is facing blade. old and new grease was acumulating under top dust cap with nothing in bottom, i will find new top seals next i guess, thanx

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.
