Ok So I picked up new blades for my 145 I picked up a couple weeks ago. I went to install the blades and realize the previous owner had enough baling twine wrapped around the spindles to bale several round bales. So I go to town removing so I could inspect and grease the bearing. Come to find out the middle housing Nilos seal is missing. just a flat stainless washer and you can see the inner bearing. Baling twine does a good job of keeping the bearing in I guess. I am on the hunt for a seal. Part number JAC345049. I have searched up and down left and right on the net. No Luck. Messicks does not have them. New Holland can't get them. Anyone have any ideas? Also I assume the blade adapter is held on with a woodruff key and the blade bolt? So I should be able to soak the snot out of it and then use a puller to get it off. Correct? Its the 50" deck
Thanks for any input
I also wanted to mention I ordered 3 bearings from fix that ford and got them for $6 a piece. I know two really need replaced. the housing on one was completely replaced not long ago and is in good shape.

you should be able to go to an auto parts store ,or a bearing shop,they might be able to help you out, those are the first places I go for parts.

Good idea I will try tomorrow and see if I can get one of the others out intact and see if they can match up. Tried calling around to oreilly and autozone to cross the NH part # without success. I figure there out there. Just a matter of locating. But like you mentioned will look for a bearing shop. Thanks for the input.

Good news. Got a call from my dealer this morning and he located a few for me. I ordered several extra. Only $12 each. Be here friday hopefully. Now just have to get the blade adapter off the shaft.
