I posted this on the garden tractor board but have not had any answer to my questions. Please forgive an off topic question.
This weekend I acquired a 175 Hydro lawn tractor with a 38" mower deck. It's somewhere around a 1989 or 1990 model with the Kawasaki engine. The engine and transaxle seem to run great.

Also I need to rebuild the mower deck because the bearings on the spindles seem to make a lot of noise. Is there a good online source of JD or aftermarket parts that anyone would recommend?
