New bushing for woods belly mower pulley w/pics

[redfin]

In case you care.

My mower ower was making extra noises this year and this quieted it down nicely.

I changed some bushings on my Woods 42 blade shaft pulley and this is what the bushings look like. There are two installed. One at the main body of the pulley as seen in the 1st and 2nd pic and one in the seperate smaller top cap as seen in 2nd pic. Also 2 oils seal are installed and can be seen under neath the bushings in the 2nd pic. Cost for the 2 bushings and oil seals approx. $20 plus tax or shipping. Would allow 15-30 minutes to do this job. Realy fairly simple job.

That's good to know.. I did replace a similar one on the IH C-2 that had play in the top pulley. (getting a Woods 42 soon!!!)

Redfin,


Please take a real close look at your pulley. What may appear to be just paint cracks in the spokes, may actually be hairline cracks in the pulley itself. BTDT. I was ready to go back with mine, and the light hit mine just right, and I was able to see the hairline cracks. You'd hate to go through all that work, put it together and ka-boom! It comes apart due to the increased spinning. It was apparently something with the design as my Woods dealer told me they'd seen a lot of those do the same thing. FWIW.

Cheers!
