I actually found the video while looking to see if I could find the whole assembly. I figured I might be doing the same thing some day. I don't think Massey sells it as a unit. Given the price of the individual parts they would be so expensive as an assembly that if you need to replace them all you might be better off buying a new deck.
On another note, my deck is 3 years old and has maybe 36 hours on it. I only spent 12 hours on my tractor mowing this year. At that rate the deck should outlast me. In my life I have only had to repair/replace a mower deck spindle once and that was on a craftsman lawn tractor I inherited that was never properly maintained.
On the other hand, I am sharpening the blades myself on this thing, which I have never done before, because the blades are stupid expensive to replace. I'm not 100% sure that I'm keeping them properly balanced and out of balance blades could cause premature bearing failure, so one never know what the future will bring.
