HD775HW Rear wheel drive mower

[Glenn McCarron]

My mower is 6 years old and I am having issues with the drive train. The gears are slipping. When I took off the rear wheels I found both bearings on the drive axle to be severely worn. The parts manual shows 532437865 and 532436459 as being the brackets that I need. I quess the bearings are integrated to that part. I have tried a few OEM suppliers and they say the parts are discontinued. Has anyone else run into this issue with a 6 year old machine? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd think those bearings/bushings could be replaced with something generic and available. Might need some reworking to fit but could easily wind up with a better setup for a whole lot less money.
