[QUOTE="tallnate, post: 594028, member: 3217"] 1985 models had a different size straddle bearing that's supposedly very hard to find. All other years before and after run the traditional size straddle bearing. I do remember reading that there is a certain 14 bolt housing that's much more prone to cracking but I can't recall what the exact year or model was. I want to say 89-91ish but I could be wrong. Woodlee ended up having to scrap one of the original 14 bolts in the hustler because the housing kept cracking open. Might want to ask him if he remembers what year model that one was. One other thing to note is that 11.5 AAM axles don't have a 3rd pinion support straddle bearing. Personally I'd be sure to stick with a 10.5 with a 3rd support bearing myself. [/QUOTE]
