Al For model number 17ARCACS011 - November 7, 2022

Hello Al, thank you for your question. No, this is not the correct one. The correct one is the Hex Flange Nut part 712-0417A that helps to secure the blade. Good luck with your repair.

THIS BOLT LOOKS LIKE THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE BLADE ON THE MANDREL 7000 ELITE SERIES 247-204420-CAN YOU CONFIRM
DON For model number 247.204420 - September 10, 2022

Hello Don, Thank you for your inquiry. We do not show this part as compatible to the model number you have provided. For the model number that you have provided, the blade is actually attached to the spindle shaft, part# 738-1010A, by means of a flange nut, part# 712-0417A.We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order for a part, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Lowered mowing deck. Replaced three belts and put on two new mowing blades. Not difficult but its is a good idea to take a picture with your cell phone of the old belts prior to removing. It is a good reference guide and many times easier than a manual. A picture is worth a thousand words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
