Had a bit of a mishap with the mower. One of the blade mounts on the mowing deck snapped at the transition of the shaft to the mounting plate. I should be able to weld it back together. It appears this has been a process that has been going on for some time as there is rust in that broken metal area.
So, I had to take apart the entire mowing deck to do this. Found out that the bottom bearing on the spindle is completely shot. The new bearing is on they way.
