Hello all, been searching the forums and found tons of great info getting me closer to my answer.
My 2017 craftsman (917.255830) is in good shape but I thought it may be wise to have some spare mandrel bearings on hand after using it for the past years.
Is replacing the bearings in the mandrel a reasonable idea? Instead of buying an entire complete mandrel assembly?
I've been trying to track down the bearing specs / P#s but I can't find the bottom bearing listed except when sold with the mandrel shaft.
Here are the current parts and cross referenced numbers I could find:
Non-electric PTO
Deck (46" Mower Complete Assy.): 583477401, 432250
Mandrel complete assy.: 587253301
Mandrel housing: 187281
Mandrel top bearing: 585323901
Mandrel shaft (w/ bottom bearing): 587256501
I did manage to find one website store that mentioned bearings for their assembly which looked like it may be the same as mine, they listed the bearings as:
TOP: 6203-2RS
BOTTOM: 6204-2RS
I figured i'd look around/ask online before tearing down and inspecting the bearings for markings.
Will update.
Cheers fellas!
