I have a John Deere 1989 Model 180 With 46" Mower and Engine (Serial.No. M00180B608218*) with B-Configuration Code (180 W/46" Mower). Believe that's a 1998 build and it still runs perfect. However my mower deck is starting to growl and doesn't sound good. Checked the spindles and there is bearing play in 2 of the spindle shafts. I'm sure that's why it doesn't sound smooth anymore! Bottom line I'd like to replace the bearings which I know how to do. However I need to find the part number for the bearings and make sure I can buy them before tearing the mower down. Does anyone know where I can get the correct information? I've looked on the net for hours but can't find what the part #'s are for those bearing used for the spindles. Any help would be most appreciated as it's only going to get worse.
