I just cleaned and replaced the seals only on 3 spindles on a 44A deck. These are the spindles with the tapered, replaceable bearings. The bearings all seemed fine but a few of the seals had broken edges on the rubber part so I just replaced all six.
Now when I tighten the blade nut it puts pressure on the bearings to the point where it doesn't turn as freely as it should. I made sure to put the center spacers back in all 3 as well as the end spacers. I felt these spacers had to limit the amount of pressure on the bearings allowing the blades to be tightened.
Am I missing something here? When I tighten the blade nuts I'm not getting free turning spindles. All of the cups/spacers are back in their original positions. I haven't filled the spindles with grease yet but packed them pretty well when reassembling.
Any help will be appreciated. What is going on here???

Steve, looks like a 70 steering wheel. Maybe someone just switched out the engine.
Charlie, looks like with a little TLC you're good to go. You may not have a brake since the clutch pedal has to be fastened down when digging.

I agree with Steve, 70 hood/decal on a 100. The early 100's used the same steering wheels as the 70. The air cleaner is for a 10/12 hp engine. I would think that the unit would have been installed on a 10 hp or higher, engine. The later trencher built by Hawk Built (I know, different company and trencher) was advertized to go on 10 or 12 hp tractors.

Boy! . . . Did I pick the wrong time to post a question???
Nice goundsaw Charlie. You might start thinking about a national tour for just digging trenches. I'm sure with proper advertisement people would "come out of the woodwork".
I actually hope my question wasn't THAT stupid. I just want smooth running spindles. And I want to know what I'm doing wrong. I've sharpened many a blade from a 44A deck before and haven't yet had this happen. It has to be in the spacers...right??? Will the final greasing make the difference??? If so, do hydraulics play a role here with the grease?

Mike Conway just went through that mess a while back.
I think this is all of them.
