Rebuild cutter deck
Needed to rebuild a Craftsman ZTR deck. eReplacement is the first place I always go to see if they have any parts I need. In this case they were my first and only stop! Parts came in quicker than expected, fit perfectly and I was up and running in no time. HIGHLY recommend visiting them for any parts needed

Easy repair
Part arrived in a timely manner, just in time to mow our lawn. So much easier than going to a repair shop, especially at this time of sheltering in place. Thank you!

Resolved problem
I tried mowing up a rather large rock and had spent the last three months trying to fix the deck. Well — it wasn’t the deck; it was the spindle. Thankfully I had watched a video on installing the spindle otherwise I wouldn’t have known what to do as the new one came without threads for the mounting bolts. Once I got that handled it mounted easily and my problems seem to be resolved.

Spindle bearings bad

Parts Used
Instead of replacing the bearings, I opted to just replace the complete assembly. I removed the deck. I removed the blade. Then I remove the bolts holding the spindle. I noticed that the new spindle housing was not threaded, but the bolts that hold it on are self tapping. So I bolted up the new spindle, replaced the blade. Then hooked up the deck.

I am 83 yrs old. I can`t work on the ground anymore. I lifted the entire tractor, with a chain hoist to about 4 ft and installed the new spindle (which fit perfectley) and added a new belt. The new part was shipped quickly, and I had no problem with the grass "getting ahead of me" If you need parts, This is the place to go!

Jacked up front of rider mower. Gathered tools, creeper, socket set, air gun and 15/16" socket. First removed belt shield ( 3 bolts ), then blade. Next removed spindle (4 bolts ). Inspected old spindle and compared to new. Discovered new spindles 4 bolt holes were not tapped.
Yes, existing bolts were self tapping, but, didn't want to chance it with pot metal, so I pre tapped them first. Glad I did worked great, bolted right in. Put mower back together, picked up tools, started mower and made a few test cuts, perfect.

Parts Used
Before removing the mower deck, make sure to take photos of the belt assembly to keep track of how the belt is correctly installed. Place the mower deck upside down on saw horses. Remove the blades and clean the underside of a mower deck. Turn the mower deck over and remove the bolts on the spindles. After you put the new spindles on, you can install new blades or the sharpened old ones. then put the mower deck back on your tractor.
Don't waste time buying separate bearings and spindle parts. Buy the whole spindle assembly. The old bearings are undoubtedly full of dirt and worn Best to replace with new parts. Best to replace all spindles at the same time but you can leave the older ones in place till they fail, buying you some time. It's possible to do the repairs with the mower deck attached to the tractor. But you'll have to lay on the ground to do the repairs. All job took a couple of hours maybe.
