bearing lock rings?

[cjarcement]

hustler 950 that was submerged in salt water then sat for a year so everthing is rusted.
trying to remove bearing from axle. is there 2 lock rings on either side of bearing in picture. if so is there any way to get replacements if i have to cut them off.bearing 2.jpgbearing 2.jpg

the inner one is probably just a shaft collar that is held in place on the axle with a set screw. i would cut it all off and start fresh. the shaft collar isn't original to the machine. probably just to keep the axle from sliding out if the ecentric ring failed

mcmaster carr co. has the 2 piece clamping shaft collars . i have them on all my axles to keep them in place . very strong and easy to install and remove without taking the axles out of the bearings . good for holding sprockets in place also if the space is there. johnboy va
