It is an OEM item which is made for use with Murray, Snapper, and Simplicity lawn mowers. This gasket provides a tight seal for the arbor housing. Over time the material will wear out and it may get compressed eventually requiring a replacement to ensure the unit functions properly. Refer to the specific diagrams of your model for the exact location and the correct installation of the new part. It is a high-quality gasket which is made of a durable foam material and is sold as an individual component. You will need a wrench set to take apart the housing and gain access when replacing this gasket.

Removed the old housing assembly. Pressed the new bearings into the new housings. Assembled the new parts and mounted them on the mower deck. Fastened the blade to the lower end of the new shaft. Remounted the blade drive belt. Replaced the belt guard. Test ran the machine.
Note: When pressing the bearings into the housings, it is critical to apply force only to the outer race of the bearings.
