I have my deck apart, replacing the deck pulleys...and I was wondering if the bearings should be replaced while I have it apart?
It has 415 hours on it...I bought it used this year and I have no idea if they have ever been replaced, but the bearings aren't loose and there is no play in the spindle shaft or anything...pulleys don't wobble. Seems solid. I keep them greased up.
The reason I ask, is because when I turn the pulley, it doesn't keep spinning like a top...but it does turn smooth when I am turning it, I just can't spin it like a top and have it keep going.
I'm not sure if that is the way they are supposed to be or not.
If replacement is recommended, then there is the issue of getting it apart. And finding the right bearings.
