SPINDLE SERVICE PROCEDURE (Cont’d)

1.Coat the outside of the seal with silicone and install the lower bearing, seal, and retaining ring into the housing, using the correct seal installer.

2.Place a light film of silicon or permatex on the inside diameter of the bearing ring and seat the ring on the spindle shaft, using the proper tool and press.

3.Lightly lubricate the lip of the seal.

4.Using the 2-3/4" tubing to prevent the cup and cone from contacting each other, press the spindle shaft through the lower bearing and seal. Make sure the bearing is seated against the bearing ring.

5.Place loctite on threads of the bearing adjusting nut (flange nut).

6.Using gloves, install the heated upper bearing cone on the shaft immediately and push it all the way against the cup. Lubricate the bearing with LPS.

7.Install the bearing adjusting nut. Tighten the nut until the spindle shaft can not be turned. Loosen the nut 1/4 turn. Place a soft, clean cloth over the top of the spindle assembly. Place an aluminum block over the end of the spindle shaft and strike the block with a hammer to loosen the bearing.

8.Remove the cloth, being careful not to allow any contamination into the spindle. Tighten the nut until a rolling torque of 16-21 inch-pounds is reached. (If the seal was not lubricated, add 10 inch-pounds).

9.Stake the nut with a blunt, round nosed punch. Do not tear the nut.

10.Insert the lubricant nozzle into the hole in the center of the housing (between the bearings) and fill the housing with 000 grease (P/N 00765444), stopping when the lubricant covers the upper bearing (approximately 11 oz.).

11.Install the breather plug in the top hole (if there is a top hole), and the solid plug in the fill hole. If only one hole exists, put the breather plug in it.

12.Install spindle in mower deck and assemble in reverse order. Torque the blade bar or pan bolts to 400 ft.-lbs. Torque motor to spindle bolts to 85 ft.-lbs. Torque spindle to deck bolts at 175 ft.-lbs.

Alamo is a prominent historical site located in San Antonio, Texas, that embodies a rich tapestry of events from the early 19th century. Originally established as a Spanish mission known as Mission San Antonio de Padua in the early 1700s, the Alamo has become a symbol of resistance and valor in the face of overwhelming odds. Its most significant moment came during the Texas Revolution in 1836 when a small group of Texian defenders made a valiant stand against the much larger Mexican army.

The architecture of the Alamo is a distinctive blend of Mission and Spanish Colonial styles, characterized by its thick limestone walls and arched doorways. The site features the famous chapel, known for its adjoining long barracks and a simple yet iconic façade that captures the spirit of the era. Despite suffering extensive damage over the years, the Alamo has been meticulously preserved and continues to serve as a key historical monument.

Technologically, the Alamo has undergone various renovations and restorations to maintain its integrity against the elements and modern advancements. Preservation efforts utilize contemporary methods such as laser scanning and 3D rendering to create accurate models for restoration. These high-tech methodologies ensure that any repairs or alterations respect the original structure while improving its resilience.

One of the remarkable characteristics of the Alamo is its role as a rallying point for Texan independence. The phrase "Remember the Alamo!" has transcended its historical context, serving as a powerful battle cry not only for Texas but also as a symbol of determination and sacrifice in various struggles for freedom worldwide. Visitors to the Alamo can engage with interactive exhibits and educational programs that delve into the complex narratives surrounding the site, enhancing their understanding of its significance.

Today, the Alamo attracts millions of visitors annually who come to explore its historical grounds, reflecting on the bravery exhibited by those who fought there.
