Went out and started the wheel Horse leaf vac and while running it engaged the deck and heard some noisy bearings. Brought it around to the shop and removed the deck. I know I brag a lot about my lift table but it along w/ a 1/2" shim board and 2 C clamps gets the deck up where it's easy to disassemble and work both sides. I also included some before and after pics of the belt idlers showing how I remove the crimp on one side for bearing removal and install the new using loktite. Took about 10 minutes with my little 1/8" electric die grinder.
Larrybl, here's the chain and hook setup I have to take the weight off jack.
