Exactly what I needed.
It's never easy finding parts for an old machine, but this site made it possible. I like the find part by symptom feature. It was just another way to be comfortable that I was purchasing the right thing.

Will work when I install it.
I usually have to replace these every couple of years. It's been a little while so I ordered it while I was ordering something else for the mower so I'd have it on hand next time i have to replace it. If I can remember where I put it.

My mower is 10yrs old & the front wheel height adjuster plate notches were worn out.

I had to pry out the front axle assembly from the two front plastic axle notches with the back of a large plier. Then I replaced the front adjuster plate. The new axle assembly popped right back in the two notches. I made sure the fuel tank was near empty before I tilted he mower straight backward & propped it up. I left the rubber adjustment knob off because it would slightly interfere with the top height adjustment notch by rubbing on the red base. I have a large front and back yard. This Craftsman mower still holds up after 10 years.

1. Removed Front Axle from Lawn Mower
2. Unscrewed/removed the worn/stripped Front Height Adjuster Plate
3. Replaced it with the new Replacement Part.
4. Snapped the Front Axle with the wheels back into place and voila repairs were done.
It was quick and simple. There are helpful YouTube videos as well that you may want to consider watching before your repair.
Part was easy to find on the e-replacement parts website, it is helpful that you know the serial number or the model number of your lawnmower in this instance.
The replacement part seemed to be actually of a better quality :-)
Lawnmower mowed easily and even, I am back in business, so happy...
