Simplicity Broadmoor 727 mower deck

[Guest]

I have a '68 or so Broadmoor 727 that I love cutting our lawn with--perfect size to maneuver around our 1/2 acre yard. Problem is, the mower deck is extremely loud--you can tell the bearings are bad. Is there any way to replace the bearings, or to just replace the bearing housings (the tower-like assemblies that hold the blades to the underside of the deck)? With the cost of new tractors, I'd really like to be able to fix this one. Thanks for any info.

You should be able to just change the bearings as long as the spindles are not worn out....

Mine is noisy (same deck) on my Allis B207 after I put in all new spindles, bearings, keys and pulleys. Guess they are just noisy..
