fit well, went together easily, had to buy bolts, old machine was tapped.
The complete spindle assembly fit well. The old weed trimmer it was for was tapped for bolts, this spindle was not so I had to supply bolts since I did not have a tap available. Machine now works as designed. Part was delivered on time and in good condition. Thanks.

Great Part - Worked as Expected -- Fast Shipping as Always
Removed Front plastic cover by 1 star screw in the very front, pulled the drive belt out of the spindle pulley so I could get to all four bolts that held the spindle in place, removed all 4 bolts then removed spindle assembly, I did the reverse - installed the 4 bolts secured the belt drive back on. Had to make sure the belt was on at both ends (front and back) the back did fall off, installed plastic cover and went to work. I did use the old bolts and used them as self-tapping / self-drilling, and actually started the bolts before I started the attachment. Some had indicated they had used bolts, and I believe bolts would have been a lot easier than self-tapping the holes into the new spindle. I probably spend about an hour in exchanging the old one out and the new one in.

Great Response
I had been dealing with Craftsman for 3 weeks before my son told me of this site. They said they had the part and did not. You got it to me quickly. Works great after modification. Holes to attach to machine on old part had threads for large screws. No threads on this part and could not make threads. Used bolts. I still have not complaint. I will buy parts from your company again when needed and recommend you highly. Thanks again.

The repair was not fast as it should of been.
The new part came in and there was no threads for the bolts.
When I took the bad part off, notice the bolts were not self tapping
Had to find a tap set for the four bolts and match the threads.
Once that was completed I installed the new part and tested.
So far it is working correctly.
I would recommend having the spindle assembly come already threaded.
Or have the manufacturer put self tapping bolts in their product.
