Me and slim went to Northern tool and got parts for the back axle. We got the bearing kit,sprocket hub, and axle.
While I didn't have parts I done some body work. I tried my best to make the back look like one piece.
Now this is how I install the bearing holder for the back axle. Fist I cut two wood blocks to 4 1/4" and then I put the front wheels on that will be ran on the mower. Then I put the two back wheels on the back axle and let about 6" stick out of one side. I then sit the mower on a level surface and put the two blocks under the back of the frame.
Then I take a level and make sure the frame is not leaning one way to the other.
Now I take the back axle and wheels and put the axle against the frame between the two bolt holes for the trans that was on the mower. I mark around the holes and then fill the hole in to make a big dot.
Now I take the bearing and bolt it to the hanger and put it up to the fame. The dot should be centered in the middle of the bearing. Now mark around the hanger so you know where to weld it.
My camera died so I could not take a pic of the next step. Make another mark about 1/4" inside of the line you just made. This is your cut mark.
Sorry for the blurry pics but the camera isn't the best in the world!
