the bearings are so far good it's the drive wheel that is wearing out and should go see if John Deer has a new one.
Ouch you do know why John Deere’s are green don’t you. Colour of money. My father in law has a Deere lawn tractor fairly new the drive pulley on transaxle came loose and ogled the torex hole out. Went to JD where he bought it, they had it in stock parts man said it was a common problem.
Ya $135.00 problem. So we used red lock tight and staked the nut.
