Murray Lawnmower Blade Spindle and Belt Replacement

Murray Lawnmower Blade Spindle and Belt Replacement

This Murray Select Twin tractor kept losing mower deck belts, and we quickly realized it was the blade spindle bearings that had failed and were to blame. We'll replace both blade spindle hubs, the deck idler pulley, and the drive belt on the tractor to get it ready to get back to cutting!

+10 points for "pine-wire brush". :)

Why was this so interesting... I don’t have this mower, I don’t even have a riding mower. Yet I watched this whole video and enjoyed it! Thanks for the video!

What a good neighbor. Only if I had a neighbor like my favorite YouTuber.

[Junkboy]

Finally some usefully information on a Murray. Well done video as well.

Cars, trucks, lawnmowers, whatever you're working on, I'm always happy to see a video uploaded on your channel.

Thank you for this video. It became my step by step guide to fixing my Murray that had the exact problem!

A very nice change up from the normal videos. My dad works on lawnmowers a lot and most people do not give their mowers proper maintenance or cleaning, so its nice to see we aren't the only ones dealing with these problems.

Am fighting that same problem w/ a 3 blade while making a 3 blade DIY bush Hog. Your neighbor owes you a really great home cooked meal!

Retail for what you did was an easy low end $125. Great job. Your tuition was well worth the effort.

yesterday i replaced 4 bearings (a 6202 and a 6203 in each housing) in two spindles on a similar murray 42 inch deck . couldn't believe when a local industrial supply charged me the same price as they did at least 4 years ago . $20 total in 2024 !

Always admire that sometimes you don't need perfect...or can afford it!...lol...you just need function😊

[philliphall]

These were Best Buy for many years and still worth fixing up and keeping for other 30 years of work 😊😊😊

I just watched 20+ minutes of lawnmower maintenance and loved it. A true sign of a high quality channel :)
Keep up the great work!

I always like the stark difference in shine/lack of rust between the original parts and the new ones.

[jackwmoody]

Great job! Limited tools and you still got it done. People need to see you can do a lot of repairs by yourself!

Thank you - this mower is almost exact to my Murray tractor and I have to replace a spindle assembly. This looks like a great method (and thanks for the part #s!!!!). Also, easy to watch and understand. Fingers crossed....

My family business is a lawn equipment store, see this all the time during the season on these piles of scrap iron.

..great video, I have a Scott's, but the same....anyway I will be changing spindle kits as soon as we are at cottage. thanks, ....

Can we get more of this Pineblock? IMO this could help us rebuild a transmission again.
