Small-Frame deck bearings

I did a quick search of the forum and came up empty. I'm going to rebuild one of my Broadmoor decks. Anyone know the bearings I'll need? Thanx, Dave

Went with these.

I had bought some of the rubber shielded ones for a couple of project decks. After assembling I'm recall finding that I'd have been better off using steel-shielded bearings for proper fit of the spacers and washers.

I'm having trouble finding anything 3/4ID and 1 3/4OD. Many options 1 1/4OD. Will that have to do? One option has 2" OD. what are the pitfalls of overhang? Thanx, Dave

I do not know about your deck, but many Simplicity decks use Timken P204RR6 which is .75 in. ID, 1.78 OD and and .61 thick.

I posted this in the wrong deck rebuilding thread. This belonged in the large-frame deck rebuild, which is near completion, as I've moved past this washer issue. I'll begin the small-frame deck in the coming weeks.

Check with the city desk at an industrial supplier. Measure an old bearing, ID, OD and thickness with a caliper. Call and ask for a bearing of that size. Motion Industries is extremely helpful for all my bearing needs. You might pay more initially, but the word CHINA does not even appear on the packaging for the bearings inside the box!

I have used the Chinese bearings and had good results. You would be surprised how many chinese bearings are in your late model car!!

The deep left hand discharge decks, both Large frame and small frame should both use the Simplicity #108202 bearings which are the same as the John Deere JD9296 bearing. The 1990's Landlords, Broadmoors, etc used two different bearings, a large bearing #108202 on top, and a smaller one on the bottom.
