🛒 See Price on AmazonWhat It Is
This is a replacement spindle assembly (2-pack) for the cutting deck of riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. It drives the blade rotation and is designed for 42", 36", and 38" decks on select Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan Pro models.
Fitment & Compatibility
Check deck size first – this fits 42", 36", and 38" decks only. Confirm your deck measures one of these widths (blade tip to blade tip).
Model cross-reference – fits Craftsman LT1000, LT2000, DLT3000, LTX1000, DYT4000 series; Husqvarna LT130, YTH150, YTH1842; and many Poulan Pro tractors.
OEM numbers – replaces Craftsman 532130794, 128774, 128285. If your spindle has one of these numbers stamped on it, this is a direct swap.
Measure bolt pattern – the spindle mount uses 3 bolts (typically 5/16″ or 3/8″) spaced 3.25″ apart. Verify yours matches before buying.
Shaft size – the output shaft is 1″ diameter with a 3/16″ keyway. Measure your old spindle shaft to confirm.
Key Things to Know
- Quality – aftermarket steel housing with sealed bearings. Most users report it’s equal to OEM, but some note the bearings may be slightly noisier than factory.
- Installation – moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket set, jack to lift deck, and possibly a puller to remove the old spindle. Expect 30–60 minutes per spindle.
- Common gotcha – the pulleys and blades are not included. Reuse your old pulley and blade (or buy separately). Also, check the deck’s mounting holes for wear before installing.
- Tip – if replacing one spindle, replace the other on the same deck to avoid uneven cutting. This 2-pack makes that easy.
Should You Buy It
If you have a 36–42″ deck on a Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan Pro with a worn or wobbly spindle, this 2-pack is a solid value. It’s cheaper than OEM and works for most common models, but double-check your deck width and bolt pattern before ordering.
