V-Ride owners Watch Deck Shaft Bearing Wear

I noticed that the 4 decks chains were not tight during the summer. I found the deck lift shaft bearings was wore out on spring side. I adjusted deck as best I could. Got around to replacing them today.

Cost $30 each and about an hour of work.. The deck leveling took awhile.
