(ET) Parts lists...

["Elie, Larry \(L.D.\)" <lelie ford com>]

With Bill gone for now, I feel more comfortable giving part numbers and 
sources for parts 
that work well with the ET.  I didn't want to do it when Bill was doing 
supply, but that's 
over.  Today's part is the back deck roller.

The Murray MU 92137 roller is the proper (2.5") diameter black (abs?) 
plastic roller and 6" long.  
To do a full size deck you need 3.  The ET uses a 5/8" shaft in back, so 
the Murray needs to be 
reamed to 5/8" + 1/64" (41/64") to spin freely.  They go for about $6 each 
at Ace Hardware as a 
special order.  There are some 4" rollers that are the right inside 
diameter already, but you 
need 7 and a half of them (have to cut one) use more washers, and they are 
the same price each, 
so I pick $30 and some drilling over $48 any day of the week.  There may 
be better fits out 
there as well.

I also have some part numbers for sealed bearings for the deck motors.  
I'm sure others also 
have collected part numbers of compatible parts over the years.  An online 
list would seem 
appropriate.
