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!

One of the old "legs" on the "keeper" broke-off so the drive belt occasionally came off the pulley when the belt was disengaged.

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.
