I am going to make a shaft 25MM OD with a 6205 bearing on one end and will be running in a needle bearing on the other end. This shaft is for a mower deck quill with the 6205 will be at the pulley end and the needle bear will be on the lower end. The distance between the two bearings is 2.5"
Question - What hardness will I need to run this shaft in that needle bearing and expect some longevity. The OEM application has no ability to lubricate but we will be adding a grease fitting to the quill housing when rebuilding.
