I mowed my lawn yesterday and noticed the riding mower deck was loud, I figured the spindle bearings were wearing out. Today, I took the deck off the mower and found one spindle was okay, even quiet when I spun the blade. The other spindle had a lot of play in it, and I found the bearings were shot. I ordered some new bearings and went about cleaning up the inside of the spindle, but I found the inside to be all wallowed out, so I ordered a new spindle. I just wanted the aluminum part, but I could not find just that part, so I had to get a spindle complete with bearings and pulley. Well, at least I know how to work on this stuff.
I also found some spray paint in the color I want to paint the little Armored Car Tootsietoy. It is called "Sand." I started testing the color today and noticed a little imperfection in the hood area of the toy, so I did a little bodywork on it. I like the color and will paint it better in a day or so.
