Good To Know

Q: How do I know if my spindle needs replacing? A: Grinding noises, blade wobble, or a deck that leaves uneven stripes often point to a worn spindle bearing. Spin the blade by hand with the engine off and check for play or roughness.

Q: Can I replace just one spindle? A: Yes, though many owners replace all spindles on the deck at the same time since they tend to wear at similar rates. Match the part number to your deck before ordering.

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