The wheel bearings are worth doing provided the original bushings haven't worn through the axle. If the axle is worn the bearings won't be worth doing until you replace the spindle/axle for both side. Also remove the inner grease seal on the axle bearing so grease can actually get to the bearing when you grease the hub. And in most cases you will need to file or grind the spindle housing some to make enough room to put the C clip back on if you install the PMPS.

I recently purchased a craftsman garden tractor from marketplace. I was surprised at how difficult it was to steer especially on tighter turns. Ran across this video and thought, why not. I wasn’t expecting great results but just finished the install and a quick trip around the yard showed a drastically improved experience. Thanks!

I know what I'm doing over the 4th of July holiday. Upgrading my two lawn tractors.

The washers on those thrust bearings are critical for the life of the bearing! DON'T REMOVE THEM!!! Instead, grab a file or a grinder and remove a bit of the metal off the top of the spindle housing until the E Clip can be installed easily and the washer is free to move. You don't want a lot of play, but it needs to be free to move easily. If you don't use the provided washers, those thrust bearings will eat themselves in 6 months or less of use.

If necessary, you could also grind off 1/16" or so off the top of the spindle housing so all washers would fit. Being easier to steer will also increase the life of the Rack and Pinion. I got the Needle Bearings and washers from Amazon for $8.50 next day delivery. After getting my JD X320 apart I found there was a 1/2" thick Plastic bushing on the bottom of the Spindle which acted as a bearing. I put the Needle bearings and washers on top of the Plastic Bushing. Absolutely NO change in steering effort. Check your machine before doing this. If you have the Plastic bushing below the Axle Boss, don't bother. IF you do not have that plastic Bushing carry on.

I have the Craftsman YT4500 mower, the same as your video but with a 54" mowing deck. Starting at the 8:00 mark you discuss shimming for the bearing clearance. You should have degreased the top of the arm to inspect the surface. On my axel castings, that surface was not machined flat and it had "bumps" from the original casting process. This did not allow the top washer to sit flat. I used a large rasp file to manually "machine" that surface flat and perpendicular to the shaft. This allowed me to use the original washer on the bottom and the two hardened washers that saddle the needle bearings. I did this process to both spindles, although one side needed more hand machining than the other. I have photos of the before and after but (apparently) I can't post them here. Other than this tip, you produced a great video for the DIYer upgrading the steering system.

Thank you! I was wondering if trimming down the shaft housing would provide the needed clearance for the circle clip. In my head, I was going to go after it with a 4 inch angle grinder because I don’t have the patience to do it with a hand file.

Beautiful looking rider, very nice upgrades and appears this unit will last a long time, the owner will be extremely happy with this repair. Really looking forward to seeing this new innovative grease gun in action. My biggest beef with grease guns has always been the mess and the time it takes to change the grease tubes. Additionally you always have to apply pressure against the zerk to make the grease get into the area you are applying the grease. Not enough pressure against the zerk and the grease does not go in. I checked out Lube Shuttle and they have a locking adaptor i hope that is in your package so we can all see how much easier their product works than the old style grease guns.

If you cannot fit the bearing, use PTFE Teflon bushing (washer). They have low friction and high strength. OR - have a machine shop shave the TOP of the sleeve (non weight bearing surface) down a few thousandths of an inch to get the height you need. One concern using the needle bearing without washers: Are the surfaces of spindle and sleeve hardened, flat and parallel enough to resist galling or deformation from the needles. Bearing needles are HARD. Stay gold.

My Husqvarna rider had a front wheel crooked at less than 60 hours. The wheel bushing had no grease in it. It was worn out already. I did the wheel bearing upgrade. I’ll probably do the poor man’s power steering kit next.

rvalens2 rvalens2 0 seconds ago I did both these modification years ago to my 1997 Craftsman mower before they were offering the kits. It made my old mower not only easy to turn, but also easy to push whenever I needed to manually move it. 26 years later, it's still running strong. I'm surprised that mower manufacturers didn't make bearings in the wheels and steering mechanism the standard for all riding mowers a long time ago.🤓

I have no idea, and honestly don't know if it would be possible and the spindles on those connect on the top and bottom. I guess I'd have to get one in to try it, but I've never worked on one yet!

So basically, the bearing doesn't fit with the washers that should be used. I suggest machining the cast axle with a file/grinder to achieve the clearance needed to use the washers. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to run the needle bearing at all.

will this work on the craftsman yt4500?

I did that and even replaced the front wheel bushing with roller bearing and no change steered the same..

Does this kit work with the Troy Bilt Super Broncos?

The so called washers you call them that come with the bearing are not washers. They are hardened thrust faces as are the rolling elements in the bearing itself. By removing the thrust face of the bearing and allowing it to roll on the axel face, the rolling elements being far harder will wear into the surface creating a major wear problem in a very short time. Cast iron is not suitable for a bearing surface and is why a regular washer is used during the original assembly as a wear component rather than the axel casting itself. I am retired from SKF bearing, lol trust me on this.

I have the same Craftsman tractor, do you know of a kit to get the front tires to track parallel to each other. Over time I have had to replace the steering rods (Purple and Orange) and the tires are never parallel anymore with no adjustability.
