Product Description
?This replacement idler pulley is an original part sourced directly from the equipment manufacturer and is designed for use with select Poulan and Husqvarna riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. It plays a key role in maintaining proper belt tension, which is essential for smooth and efficient mower operation. Made from high-quality materials for durability, this pulley may need to be replaced over time due to wear or damage. Installation requires a wrench to remove and secure the mounting hardware.

So, When the 2nd mower threw a Belt, I thought simply replacing the belt was th ... Read more e solution until I found the idler pulley missing. I immediately went to eReplacementParts.com, found my mower by manufacturer and model number, ordered the parts I needed and had them delivered within 5 days. Within 30 minutes after the parts were delivered, I had repaired the mower and went about mowing the yard. I needed no instruction, I simply looked at the parts schematic and could see exactly how it went together. Pulleys are not a challenge. Thanks eReplacementParts.com, looks like no more wasting time and money at the \"professional\" lawn mower shop. For most repairs, these guys have the solution!

2. Removed and replaced tractor mounted idler pulleys, since bearings were noisy.
3. Disassembled mower deck - opted to overhaul blade tower supports (3) to clean and renew lubrication. RECOMMEND REPLACING THESE PARTS AS A UNIT, instead of overhaul. ... Read more
4. Bearing failure had caused hole in deck-mounted pivot support bracket for belt tensioner to become elongated - opted to do nothing at this time.
5. Replacement pulley on pivot support was not sized to accept 7/16\" dia bolt!!! Hardened spacer washer hole was too small as well. Re purposed another bolt from the ordered parts, and added washers as necessary to allow pulley to track properly without binding against the tensioner arm.
6. Removed and replaced other pulleys and hardware (these replacement parts were identical to the removed ones).
7. Installed new belt as per diagram on belt slip cover.
8. Reinstalled mower deck underneath the lawn tractor.
