I'd have thought those might rot. You are lucky to have bearings!
Sounds a bit like the start of a Monty Python sketch, When I were young it
just had a spindle running in two holes laddie.

I need to replace the bearing races on the mower's grass-collector brush
bar. The mower manufacturer specifies 6203 ZZ bearings (with metal shields
both sides) but I'm wondering whether those with rubber seals (6203 2RS)
might be better at keeping out the crud.
Do we have any bearing experts who could advise?
