Re: (ET) mower motor misc.

[Rob Brockway <getractor yahoo com>]

#1 I am note sure I understand your description.  On my units all of the keyed shaft flanges slide freely back and fourth on the shaft (I put a dab of antisieze when I reassemble).  When the blade bolt is torqued I believe it pulls the flange down on the end of the shaft.  The flange is one piece and the shaft end is not visible when assembled.

 

#2 I would run without blades on 36 and check total power draw (less than 18 amps?) and listen for vibration.  Even if everything looks and sounds good, don't be surprised if the bearings need replacemnt in the next year or two.  They will make lots of noise and or draw lots of power.
