This is an authentic OEM component from Ryobi. The bolt (3/8-16 x 1-1/2 gr. 5) is constructed of heavy-duty metal, and is made for many riding lawn tractor engines. The bolt is often used to secure the bellcrank assembly to the clutch link. This item is sold individually. A wrench is required for the proper installation.
1. Separated mower deck from lawn tractor and cleaned both units thoroughly.
2. Removed and replaced tractor mounted idler pulleys, since bearings were noisy.
3. Disassembled mower deck - opted to overhaul blade tower supports (3) to clean and renew lubrication. RECOMMEND REPLACING THESE PARTS AS A UNIT, instead of overhaul.

5. Replacement pulley on pivot support was not sized to accept 7/16\" dia bolt!!! Hardened spacer washer hole was too small as well. Re purposed another bolt from the ordered parts, and added washers as necessary to allow pulley to track properly without binding against the tensioner arm.
6. Removed and replaced other pulleys and hardware (these replacement parts were identical to the removed ones).
7. Installed new belt as per diagram on belt slip cover.
8. Reinstalled mower deck underneath the lawn tractor.
