Hi,
Thank you very much for the replies. I was thinking of taking the old bearings to a bearing shop like statewide bearings and get a quote for them that way. Thanks for giving me a list of part numbers. Very helpful. Thanks for the info on the transfer shaft bearing. One of those little things you don't really know about unless somebody tells you.
The chains and sprockets I was going to leave for a while yet as I only have a fairly small yard to mow when its all done. I am going to go with a new 3.5 Briggs for the motor as its about half the price of a Honda and should be more than adequate for my needs.
I was quoted $60 to sharpen the reel and blade at Sanderson engineering which I think sounds quite reasonable. all going to plan should be up and running in about 3 weeks hopefully.
Thanks again for all the information and I could have probably bought a good runner, but this should be a lot more fun.
