Riding tractor mower spindle bearings

[JimR]

You folks here might appreciate this guy if you need any spindle bearings for your tractors. I just bought 10 6204-2RS bearings from him for $17.30 delivered. The cheapest that I could get these anywhere was $3.99. The local supplier was in the $10.00 range each. This led me to do some serious part searching on the internet. I also replaced my main spindle bearings 6203-2RS which cost me $15.00 for the pair locally. I needed them immediately as mine were wiped out. I bought 20 of them for under $28.00 delivered. It was a package deal and I had to take them all. No biggy as I will find a use for them somewhere. The Ebay guy goes by the name of "bearings". I hope he can help some of us out in the future with bearings. The other company that I found the 6203's at is http://bearingsdirect.com

it seems ball bearings like 6203, 6204 should be easy to find.

Cursory search seems to indicate dozens of suppliers and prices as low as $1.70 per bearing when bought is volume of 10 or more...

One of the real killers of spindle repair is when self tapping bolt breaks off in spindle housing..... Last set of spindles I bought actually came with 5/16 bolts and nuts.... Big improvement IF i have to remove them again....
