[QUOTE="Letfreedomring, post: 4082698, member: 50298"] [ATTACH type="full"]396764[/ATTACH] 1985 JD Hydro 185 w/ 17hp FC540V Kawasaki motor still going strong. Replaced belts and fuel lines winter before last. Rebuilt the deck with all new bearings and idlers this last winter. The spindles are steel and cast iron and massive, but just glad they're rebuildable. [ATTACH type="full"]396765[/ATTACH] It's nice to mow now without all the screeching and squealing of bad spindle bearings. I keep threatening to sell it and just use push mowers for my smallish lot and a 1/4, but when it only takes 30 minutes to mow in 100+* heat, I come to my senses again. Lol. As long as you keep the battery topped off and a good igniter box on it, it will start up each and every time. She's no lightweight and I cuss every time I have to pull the deck off.
