John deere 500

Post by Bben486 »

I have a 1972 500 and the bearings for the secondary shaft are shot. Does anyone know where I can get the whole piece? Thanks

What do you mean by the whole thing?

The bearings are nothing special, you can get them anywhere. If you are looking for the entire chaincase, then I need to know what clutches are on the sled now. Original would be Salsbury. Also, this gets complicated because the 72s use a longer shaft then the 73 up.
JDParts.com doesn't show it, but my 72 parts book does. 72 shaft- M63135 JDparts shows M63932 on all, and M63135 as a 600 shaft.

A photo would help.
