Product Review

Heavier, reinforced better, than OEM mandrel. HD Bearings. Fits 36", 38", and 42" vented decks. Tapped mounting holes, 3 mounting bolts included. Also includes pulley locknut, spacer (important,install under the pulley) blade bolt, and washer. You can break this HD mandrel but you must work at it harder than the original one. Important note when installing, be sure to put the spacer (thick washer part number 187690) under the pulley (between the pulley and top bearing). Spacer note....Failure to install with the spacer or installing the spacer in the wrong position (on top of the pulley) will result in pulley and shaft failure in a short amount of time. The spacer must go under the pulley, or between the top bearing and the pulley. To ensure this part goes with your machine you should always go by the model number and serial number, which is normally found under the seat of your riding mower. If you have a John Deere, the model number is on the side of the tractor, and will also be printed on an identification tag located below the operator's seat or on the back of the lower frame between the rear wheels. The serial number (PIN) is 13 or 17 digits long. If you have a Hustler, the model and serial number decal is located on the frame directly below and to the left of the operator's platform or on the left frame side rail.
