Why the spindle matters: The spindle assembly is a key component of the cutting deck, working with pulleys and belts to rotate the mower blades and deliver an even, clean cut. Bent or broken spindles and worn bearings will negatively affect mower performance. Replacing the spindles or the spindle bearings is a common repair you can perform yourself to restore proper operation. How to hold the spindle when removing blades: Start by loosening the clamp on a blade removal tool by turning the handle counterclockwise. Set the tool so the clamp fits over the blade end and the stopping edge rests against the deck side. Turn the handle clockwise to tighten the tool and prevent the spindle from turning while you remove the blade. Safety precautions: Before beginning any spindle replacement on a riding mower, park the machine on a level surface, apply the parking brake, and remove the keys from the ignition. Please note: Verify the size information on the product detail page to confirm this spindle assembly matches your mower before purchasing.
