Nut,​​ Hex Flange,​​ Esna,​​ 3/​​8-16

I lost part of the mechanism that connects to the mower deck dirty electronic motor control the height adjustment. Rigged up my own using eyelet rod from Home Depot and broke it twice and had to redo it. I had used you guys before. So I ordered the right stuff and now it's perfect. E replacement parts you guys are my heroes. Thank you God bless

I had to drop the deck for maintenance anyway but you can remove the pulleys without doing that, just a tighter space. I found an idler pulley on the mower deck missing a seal and dry, dirty and rusty so I found a washer, ground it to size, cleaned and greased the bearing and put the washer in with a tappy tap tap (AvE).
Remove nut/s and pulley, install new ones, tighten, finish deck maintenance and reinstall.
One nut was stripped but I got a 14mm socket on tight and got it loose. I thought I'd need vise grip.
If you don't want to fully drop the deck but need extra room, take the drop arms loose and prop them up.

I'm very disappointed in this Snapper LT152 with the Murray frame. I hope these Briggs replacement parts are better.

Assembled the new parts and installed the new deck support.

Put the deck all the way down remove broken piece and support for deck just to push pin put new rod in place washer nut support beam back on deck and cycled it up and down works good
