Hi all, I'm a newbie here, just registered, and have a question. I have a Toro XLS 420T ride on which is 4 years old and has had approx. 120hrs of use. Today I noticed some noise and vibration while mowing so stopped to check the cutter deck to avoid major damage. The bearings on the cutter shafts are 'shot' and have serious movement at the blade end. This surprised me as I've had a Rover for some years and only replaced the bearings once but after much more use than this has had.
I'm going to replace all bearings on the deck but can't loosen the nuts on the pulley end of the shafts. Are these left hand threads as I have assumed or conventional RH thread? I've tried both ways but don't wish to force the issue in case I'm turning the wrong way.
Also are these pulleys a press on fit as I seem to be able to turn the shaft within the pulley.
Thanks in anticipation to anyone who can shed some light on this.
