John kurzawa for model number 13w2775s asked on 2019-08-18

Hi John, I am not fully understanding what you are asking, did you order this part and measure it at 4.88? If you are referring to the approximate diameter of 5 1/4' below this is not an exact measurement. You also only entered a partial model number, we would need the full model number to guarantee compatibility. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

Belts were getting eaten; 2 in one summer

I followed the instructions on the video by ereplacement after identifying the fact one of my deck pulleys bearing was no longer turning properly.
1. Remove deck pins
2. Release belt (which was missing in my case) and take the deck from under the tractor.
3. Loosen the bolt nut from the top of the pulley to remove (socket on top, box wrench under- neath
4. Remove the washer, and pulley, bearing housing, then replace with the new pulley and bearing housing. Hint: put the belt around the pulley before replacing the pulley on the bolt so that they fit into the pulley guard housing, otherwise you will have to loosen it again to put the new belt on.
5. Tighten the nut back on the pulley bolt, check to make sure it is flat and turns easily.
6. Loosen the other pulley and place belt around pulley circuit per deck requirements, of the mower.
7. Re-install the deck to the tractor.
