I just put these on and hopefully they will last a long time. I did run into a problem. I have a Craftsman mower. I could not replace the one thick washer that I took off when disassembling because there was not enough room to put on the E-clip after I put it all back together. You have to remember that the bearings and the two washers that come with it take up room. It was about the same thickness as that washer I removed. Therefore, not enough room to get the E-Clip snapped on. Otherwise, seems pretty decent so far!! Thanks for a great video!!

Someone had the same problem due to manufacture. You have to grind down the top a bit so the washers have enough room. Take a flat file, and file the TOP part of the shaft. From there, you will be good. NOTE: Read another comment from here, he had to do the same thing.

If your tractor doesn't have the grease nipple, you can drill and tap a hole and install a grease fitting from the hardware store. Cast iron is easy to drill and tap. Just make sure to clean the hole out well and blast it with compressed air before screwing in the nipple. On a side note: A couple major manufacturers have eliminated the grease fittings on their weed wacker heads as well, so you can't grease them. You can drill and tap the aluminum housing for a zirc fitting on those too, but you're going to want to drill a tiny weep hole so excess grease can find a way out.

Soooooooo, whats the idea of putting the grease in the top of the cap? Its not against anything that it could lubricate and there's no way for it to get into the shaft. The washer bearings on the bottom however is a great idea to cut down on friction. I'm wanting to put a larger steering wheel on mine, maybe at least a 16 inch. I think the stock 13 inch john deere uses is just too small and hard to turn.

Thanks for this video; how long do these bearings last before they need to be replaced? I'm asking as I assume sand and grit will get into the bearings during normal use and will erode the bearings over time.

The one in the videos is still on there and it's the 2nd season. Surprisingly, I thought it would be we would have to replace it every season, but it's still good so far. I guess depends on your usage. We do these on a 2-acre lot, and we use it lots. We even use it for leaf transport in fall too, that is even more than mowing. *NOTE:* During each season, you would add grease to it. This will push out the old grease and the new grease will replace its place. Also, grease it extra and let it ooze out, that would be the protection for sand and dirt until your next grease job.
