Product Description

?

This authentic part is supplied directly by the original equipment manufacturer for use with riding mowers from Husqvarna, Poulan, Weed Eater, and Jonsered. The idler arm connects the mower housing to the belt guard and plays a key role in maintaining proper belt tension and alignment. Constructed from durable metal, it should be replaced if it becomes cracked or broken. Installation may require a socket set, and it’s recommended to consult your model’s diagram for proper placement. This item is sold individually.
