Exmark lazer idler rebuild

Buddy Dave brought his Lazer mower over for some fixing. The real issue is one cylinder loses spark when it gets hot. We moved the coil/pickup a little closer to the flywheel magnet instead of buying a new coil assembly. We will see how that works. While it was under repair we noticed that one of the belt idlers had a shot bearing. Upon examination we could see the spot welds that held the idler together and decided to attempt to just replace the bearing instead of replacing the whole deal. I had a few new 6203 both sides sealed bearings for alternator repairs on my stock. Turns out these bearings fit.

We used 1/4 X 5/8 bolts to put it back together.
