This is a genuine Craftsman part for use with Lawn Tractors. The mandrel pulley spins the blade on the mower deck of the tractor. The most common reason for replacing the spindle pulley is when it is stripped, causing the belt to snap and the blades not to move. This part is sold individually. The tools that you will need to replace the mandrel pulley is a 7/8 inch socket and an impact driver.

Pulley had broken for cutting deck

Used wd-40 to penetrate the nut holding the pulley on. Had to use a torch to heat up the nut then applied wd-40 again while it was hot wait 10 minutes. and used a breaker bar to loosen the nut.
Once nut broke loose it was easy to remove the old pulley and replace with the new one from ereplacementparts.
Ordering of and delivery of my part was very quick and efficient. The parts diagram was extremely helpful in ensuring I was ordering the correct part!
