Re: (ET) Mower motor bearing

[Chris Tromley <ctromley gmail com>]

Bill,

I got bearings for my short fat motors from Harold at Clean Power.  Didn't have to find numbers.  The Electric Tractor Store might have them too.  If it was me I'd get three sealed bearings and replace them all while the deck is down.  The sealed ones survive deck washes much better.

Caution:  When I did mine I accidentally cut an armature wire because the puller gets really close to the windings.  It should be easy to avoid, but you need to be aware of it and pay attention.  (A used armature, also from Harold, was cheaper than a rewind.)

I've got a new problem:
I need help in figuring out the part number of the bearing I need. One of the motors on my E-12 deck needs a new lower bearing. The motor is one of the skinny ones, 3 5/16 " in diameter. I cannot find any kind of number on the bearing. I thought all bearings had a part number on the edge of the outer race. But not this one. It has no markings whatever.The outside diameter of the outer race is about 1 7/8", the inside diameter of the inner race is about 3/4". The width of the bearing is 1/2".  I will appreciate any help I can get on identifying it and advice as to where to buy a new one.

Thanks,
