Husqvarna AWD Axle Bearing Replacement

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Shout-out to M. Gomez who found a part number for just the bearing with rubber seals, you can press them out of that retainer and just purchase the bearing itself P/N: 104-8699 Once I found that Amazon listing of the bearing and retainer, I googled that part number (587070201) and then found a listing on eReplacementParts website that showed it had been superceded to the 587070202 with a newer style RS rubber sealed bearing. Additionally, eReplacementParts has a great video on removing this wheel assembly on a very similar mower if anyone would like to watch it. Like I said though, it's very simple. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oafPgoGvnLqBj9k

I sort of wish I'd seen this video a month ago. I just finished an epic adventure with a Craftsman (AYP) front wheel drive problem. This bearing was shown as a separate part # on the parts diagrams. It was a bear to get the circlip back on the bearing in the adjuster plate. No O-rings on this Craftsman version, but a very stiff cupped washer that needed to get compressed in my vice and with c-clamps. I videoed the entire rambling escapade. Where I ended up was not where I intended on this repair. I get a giggle on those eReplacment and other similar videos. Swapping out new parts on brand new machines: 1/2 the fun is slogging through filthy, seized, bent, rusted, and corroded bits and parts. Thanks for the great videos.

I used a socket against the clip in a vice and it set itself in nicely!

This was my mower in this video that Jake repaired. I can't say enough about Jake's abilities and Knowledge. Nice to find an honest mechanic and he is reasonably priced to boot. Thanks Jake.

Dude you're a lifesaver. I couldn't find the OEM bearings in stock anywhere but the 02 ones are far superior. Glad I found this video, you saved me from a lot of future headaches

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

[@kbssmallenginerepair2615]

Great info on the bearing! I have seen a couple that the end of the axle was just about sheared off it was so worn. Thanks for sharing.

You're a lifesaver. Thank you so much for the valuable info.

[@macedonianking31]

Beautiful explanation and installation 👏!

[@waynestefinashen239]

Super work getting that bearing number, sure you were happy that it worked out well. Feel bad for the 370 back ordered people when they see this video and realise they could have just replaced the bearing ONLY IF THEY FOUND THE PART NUMBER!

[@shanebowman10]

Sucks trying to get that snap ring back on! Tried without the rubber seal and it worked but height adjustment kept slipping off due to too much slop and slipped off the bottom tab repeatedly. Got the assembly in the freezer now. Fingers crossed I'll get it on

[@billstiles487]

I was wondering if the axle could be removed for welding and then put on a lathe to turn down to spec? Just a thought.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes absolutely

[@ericarellano781]

Is that the same bearing for the front wheels ?

[@philliphall5198]

Thank You very very much for this information and knowledge that will save us money which we all need to do now…😊😊😊

Excellent my friend! Just saved me some money. Well done!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

[@waltgodsil]

WOuld I use that same bearing for the 7021 front wheel?

[@ScottysVise]

I did this repair yesterday on a craftsman "ez walk" front wheel drive with the briggs platinum series engine. I used the bearing part # 421836 and it worked well. It's the sealed bearing.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaellarcom]

I have the HU775BBC and I notice it popping and grinding and I took the wheels off and noticed that the wheel pressed in bearing seem sloppy and with the wheels on they have a lot of play and movement and I like to know what bearings I need to replace them? The smaller gears on the body seem ok so it's the wheels and play making them skip and slip

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Wery good info, sealed befaring is a must Have, but maybe they could put in a bit lager befaring that take more beating

[@agooser26]

Great info and good job finding the better bearing. I have a loose lower handle and can't figure out how to tighten it. Have you got a video on this? If not can you make one please? There is no clear place to tighten.

[@Tom-iv2gj]

What kind of snap rings should I get mine are gone. But thanks for the video.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I'm not sure, you might have to call Husqvarna

[@Tom-iv2gj]

@@EliminatorPerformance thanks dude this method works good and a whole lot cheaper then getting the whole assembly(if you could find one) I broke the tip of one of the snap rings but it still works fine. Thanks again

[@michaellarcom]

What is the bearing that sits inside the rear wheels? I have a hu775bbc rear wheel drive and my wheels are making a popping noises like it's skipping my wheels seem to be really loose is this bearing going to take care of the problem with the bearing in the side of the wheels?. I seem to ask a question before I never got an answer

[@andyhamilton8940]

Hello Elininator, I used this part # for the front bearing. LC221A model. The adjusters are different than the one in this video. Had to shim it to take the slip out of the adjuster assembly but it did work out. Thanks!

[@alancole430]

Isn't these bearing pressed In and not just secured with a "C'" clip?

[@jcataclisma]

Thank you VERY MUCH for the video, again!

[@SharonEmery-c2p]

Is it cost effective to replace the rear axle on a Husqvarna riding mower?

[@MrMusiclifer]

I have the 800 someone gave me (HU800AWDH) He said it was locked up but turning the blade and pulling the cord it fired up and then the belt split. It was really worn down thin so watching videos and taking off covers, I found my problem is not the bearings where you were focusing on behind the 14 tooth pinion but the bearings in the wheel( mine is the larger rear wheel set up) and on the wheel mount shaft. It seems like there might be more than one on that alone. I had to press out (knock) the wheel bearing out and no ball bearings or roller bearings were left-the part evidently corroded apart. The parts list for this one is just like the one you showed and no separate bearings listed for what I need. I did buy a new Sunbelt belt for $20 but have not installed. I think it would drive if I installed it but the bearings are holding me back from wanting to put the belt on just yet. The wheels are sloppy lose with the issue. Boy I do have some dabbling time in this but almost thinking of throwing in the towel. Typed in the new superseded bearing # and brought up the old one by the way and closer watching your video did not make me think I was looking at what I really needed anyway but great job with what you were showing! Thanks and thanks if you reply too!

[@JungleBobRepair]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mgomez5606]

Do you know the part number for the oring?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I believe it's a 532197480 but please do some research as I'm not positive because it doesn't list these parts specifically.

@@EliminatorPerformance Just found out you can just replace the bearing on the bushing EP. I had some of the ones w/o the seal. Pressed old one out and new one in. You can get the ones with the seals. Save you customer some money. Try one out to see if it works for you. Will help you move more mowers requiring this repair. Will send you p/n.

Great video with some great information. How did you find out about 02 bearing part number?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Once I had the Amazon listing with the picture of that bearing, I googled that part number (587070201) and then found a listing on another parts website that showed it had been superceded to the 587070202 with a newer style RS rubber sealed bearing

[@Izzy1665]

Great video !! I assume its safe to say "587070202" bearing is the same on all 4 corners of the AWD mower? Front right bearing is my issue. Thanks in advance.

[@masoudzamani2096]

Thanks for great info I got Craftsman 22” front drive (Model# 944.363231) got to get both bearings very much looks like the one you have it but I was worried sizing might be different,unfortunately not able to find the part number I was wondering if you could kindly help me will appreciate.

Four wheel drive on a push mower just seems like overkill to me. 👍👍

They're great on hills though!

[@charliekilo3]

It's the best idea ever for me. My front yard runs downhill so when mowing upward it makes it much easier on the legs. I have the HU800AWD and have been using it for over 8 years now.

[@EliminatorPerformance]
