Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this assembly come with the mounting hardware? A: Most spindle assemblies require the reuse of existing bolts or the purchase of new self tapping screws depending on the specific deck shell. Verifying the current mounting holes determines if new hardware is necessary.

Q: How often should these spindles be lubricated? A: While many units come sealed, checking for grease fittings and applying lubricant every 25 to 50 hours of use helps prevent premature bearing failure.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
