Got the mower in, pulleys are off, bless those tapered sheave pullies. What I'm seeing is shafts are tight, bearings are smooth. Right shaft does not leak grease, center one only slightly and left one excessively. I think the cause is me being too liberal with grease.

As I see it a guy could find himself mucking around in grease every two weeks for a long time in doing in box rebuilds. Having said that, I'll keep an assembly on hand, and with the pulleys I have it's quick change.
