I Bought this old snapper 6hp RER for $50. These have sentimental value to me since we had them as kids at my Mom and Dads. I plan on Restifying and using it..

After a trip to the car wash, I soaked the carb overnight and got it running great. I fired it up to mulch up the leaves and Unfortunately the deck spindle seems to be shot. I blade seems to be fairly newish and doesn't look bent. Seems to run good inside with the deck.

I cannot seem to find a Part# for the spindle. All the parts fiche's shows a silhouetted spindle and do not give a part# for it or any internal parts for it.

It is Snapper model 25065 . I'm not sure how to tell the series model of these yet. I'm just getting back into them after 30 years.
Any Ideas?

Hello. Could you please elaborate on your statement" Unfortunately the deck spindle seems to be shot. I blade seems to be fairly newish and doesn't look bent. Seems to run good inside with the deck." More information is needed as to what makes you think the Spindle is shot. Bearing noise? Shaft wobble? Bad pulley/s? The Snapper manual #7002 is listed below. This manual contains setup procedures that apply to most RER's. The spindle is covered on 3.8 & 3.9.
TomwO has some good advice concerning bearing replacement. Let us in the loop about your progress.

HOPE THIS HELPS.
