Keeper 589676103

I removed the 2 bolts that held the cover over the pulley, then removed the 2 bolts that held the keeper to the spindle. Installed the new keeper and tightened the bolts - a perfect fit! Cranked up the mower and engaged the blades - success! The belt stayed in place and I can now mow the lawn. I am extremely happy with the product, fast delivery to Hawaii, and great service. I will definitely come back here if I need anything and recommend the site to anyone who needs parts. Thanks guys!

This was a used lawn tractor.The deck broke and that was replaced. Plus we put the Mandel on ,it did not have one on the left side so we put that on and the belt won't slip off now. We put on the brakes that refurbished.. so we are good to go . Thanks customer

Striped down the deck and then replaced the new components. Got good instructions on removing and replacing the deck for my computer.

1. Removed the two 1/2" bolts on the deck mounted housing (without removing the deck) with a ratchet wrench with a knuckle attachment and extension.
2. Removed the broken keeper.
3. Aligned the new keeper.
4. Bolted the new keeper on with the two 1/2" bolts.

1. Removed the lawn mower deck from the tractor
2. Replaced the belt keeper
3. Reinstalled the deck

Remove bolts from fuel tank, pull forward toward engine. Disconnect keeper, washer and end of cable from lever. disconnect cable from and spring from clutch break assembly after dropping and disconnecting mower deck. reroute new cable between break clutch lever and mower break clutch assembly. Reattach cable end to pin at lever, washer and safety pin.Replace fuel tank and replace hold down screws. cable replacement completed.
After drooping mower deck and removing safety pins from mower brackets slide mower deck out the left side of tractor. tilt mower deck up so you have access to bolt holding blade. hold bolt with wrench, and using a larger wrench hole upper spindle bolt. Remove lower bolt, washer, and blade. Loosed and remove upper bolt from shaft along with pulley.. remove bolts from around Mandrel assembly and remove through bottom of mower deck. Replace with new assembly is reverse of removal.Reattach deck to mower and your done.

Just put new part on

Home Depots extended warranty requires the tractor to be delivered at my expense to their facility. The cost of transporting was far in excess of that of the part. After the third failure I purchased three of the keepers for this and future expected failures. Merely removing two bolts with the blade housing in its lowest position and replace the keeper.

The mandrel broke in two places, and also the deck ripped out at the mandrel mounting position bolt holes. Removing the blade and mandrel was fairly easy since I have done this previously. This model of Husqvarna allows for very easy removal of deck assembly from mower. What took the bulk of time was taking deck to welder to make repairs to the damaged mounting holes on deck. He used metal washers then scraped and painted to match original deck. Once I picked up deck re-attaching every thing else was done within 20-25 minutes. Mower now sounds quiet and runs & cuts maybe better now then when it was new. So the lesson here is when an unusual noise starts don't hesitate investigating before continuing to operate mower.

Once I figured out a washer some how broke off and made the pulley loose, I replaced it and the broken pulley guide.
