Dixon ZTR - Spindle Assembly

[JR1]

I have a 4515 Dixon ZTR 50" deck;

Need to replace a bearing in one of the spindles. 2 years ago I could buy the whole spindle assembly reasonably. Now I can't find one anywhere...tried PSEP, Jacks etc. Any advice on how to get it apart? Or a source for this spindle assembly?

I don't have a press to get the shaft out...don't want to wreck the pulley...

For the Dixon 1701 539115279
30", 42", and 50"
Bearing number RA100RR (approx $6.00)
ID 1" (25.40 mm)
OD 2" (50.80 mm)
HEIGHT 27/32" (21.43 mm)
FWIW This same bearing also fits the wheel hubs on the ZTR with chain drive.

To replace bearings, remove the internal snap rings and they should pound out with not too much trouble.
You should be able to get this bearing at any bearing supply store, but they must have the shoulder on the inner race
