Select Proper Spindle Pulley

NOTE: There are two spindle pulleys supplied with the
system.
To determine which pulley is required, compare the
height of the old spindle pulley with the new spindle pul-
leys supplied. Use the pulley that matches the height of
the old pulley (see Figure 4)

Install Spindle Pulley

1. Apply an anti-seize compound to the spindle shaft.
Install the new, double spindle pulley (C, Figure 5)
on the shaft with the smaller pulley facing up with the
5/8" nylon lock nut (A), 5/8" washer (B) and 1/4" key
(D) and tighten to 85-95 ft./lbs (115-128 N.m.). Use
a block of wood to keep the blade from spinning
while installing and tightening the 5/8" nut.
2. Reinstall the mower deck drive belt on the new spin-
dle pulley. Tighten the spring compression nut (A,
Figure 2) until the idler spring (B, Figure 2) is com-
pressed to 1-5/8" (4,12cm) long. Be sure the mea-
sure the spring only.

Install Guard

1. Install the new deck guard (B, Figure 6) and secure
with the 5/16-18 x 3/4" bolts (C) and 5/16" washers
(D) previously removed.
2. Install the 5/16" body clips (A) over the holes in the
guard with the threaded side pointing down.

Mower Deck Preparation

blower mount tabs towards the rear. Secure with the
