BX Belly Mower Center Spindle/Shaft replacement
Hi Folks,
I searched this subreddit to see if someone else posted this before and I couldn't find anything. I have a belly mower(RCK60D-26BX) for my BX 2370. The center spindle threads have somehow become stripped or cross threaded. I think it might have been when I hit a decent sized rock that knocked the blade loose. Anyway, I'm trying to research how hard of a job it would be for me to replace it myself. I can't seem to find this anywhere on YouTube to see what it would look like. The outside spindles look pretty easy but the gearbox is the wild card here. Has anyone else had to do this before? It looks like I would just need to take the gear box off and pull the shaft out of it. I can't tell if the seal needs to come out as well on the bottom of gearbox or not. The pulley spins freely with no grinding sounds so I don't think the bearing is shot. Am I delusional in thinking I can do this myself or should I just let my Kubota dealer do it?
edit: Added more context.
