Product Description

?

This high-quality spindle and pulley assembly is a genuine OEM replacement part, specifically designed for use with riding lawn mowers and lawn tractors. Built from durable metal components, it serves as the mounting point for the mower blade and the deck belt that drives it. Depending on your mower model, your deck may require two or three of these assemblies. Note: The spindle housing features non-threaded mounting holes. Be sure to use self-tapping bolts to secure the housing to the deck. This item is sold individually. For proper fit and installation, refer to your equipment’s model diagram.
