Product Description

?

This is a genuine part that is sourced directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with Husqvarna walk-behind lawn mowers. The idler pulley applies tension on the drive belt. It is an identical replacement for a damaged or a missing component that was installed on a new unit. One durable idler pulley with pre-installed bearings is included. Check the diagrams of your model for the exact location and the correct installation of the new item. You will need a wrench set to remove the old pulley and secure the new one.

Mower would not self propel

I first replaced the pulley belt, one idler pulley wheel, and the missing tension spring. It propelled, but made an odd noise when the self propel engaged. I checked the other two pulley idlers and they showed some wear, though they were not frozen stuck like the first pulley idler I replaced. I replaced the other two worn pulleys and now the mower works fine! Also, since the tires were worn and slipping on the grass I put screws in the plastic tires (kinda like studs in winter tires) and that really helps with the self propel action.
