OK, I'm beginning "to see the light." 
Yes, now I see 2 bearings in the diagrams.
Because this section of the mower didn't fully come apart, both bearings are currently in place. I can see the one above the deck (when the pulley was off), but the one below the deck on the spindle, I can't see. All of that section was firmly together.
So...after all this...the mower is "good to go." Since I've used it without issues...no unusual noise, no wobbling, etc., things are as they should be. The nut on the top (not speaking of myself here) came off which released the rest of the parts. Stopping quickly prevented any damage.
All of your input and explanations have helped tremendously. Going forward, when repairs are needed, I'll have a better idea of what to do...maybe. So, I won't worry about taking things apart for pictures today. And, I won't be mowing for several days...tropical storm will probably bring lots of rain making the grass grow even more. I'll be ready.
Thanks again. All of you are just great.
