I now know how to change a spindle on a scag thanks to this very helpful video. Thank you!

Right to the point explanation and video. Awesome. I've changed one spindle on our turf tiger. It did not come off so easy, was a 2002 model. We literally had to torch it off. I really hope our 2019 model comes apart that easy blade brothers!

I appreciate that. I have some tricks for the old stuck spindles, I just couldn’t use them on these warranty spindles.

Run you a small flat head on the cut of the taper lock to widen it and it’ll slide off easier . Good job 👍🏻

Not sure if we have the same spindles but FWIW my 2022 Liberty Z had a couple spindles go bad with less than 40 hrs on the machine

They are aluminum non grease able. That’s sad I’m not sure what’s with scags quality control lately

Bro that was impressive the speed and efficiency

@@jayhaynes4668 I check the “pop off “ or over flow valve and when it starts to come out I stop.

I had to change the middle one on mine at 1200 hrs. Not as easy. That damn thing might as well been welded on.

If you have a big enough air hammer get the bolts loose and drive the spindle out out of the hub, I drive the pulley off as seen in the video, but if the hub is froze to the spindle just drive the spindle through it.
