I refurbished my 317 deck. Same issues of bearing, a rust hole or two and thinning due to rust near the spindles. I needed to a some stiffing plates around the spindles. Check out the past posts on the subject if you need them. The are listed as parts for a 50" but work on most of the decks. I broke the idler thinking I could get the bearing out so needed that also. With paint and part around $120. Deck is really quiet and works well.
