2 Pack 1001046 Spindle Assembly Replaces 1001046 Spindle Murray 492574MA Spindle Assembly Murray 092574, 094129MA, 090905MA, 092574MA, 692574MA, 92574MA for Murray 38", 40", 42" Lawn Tractors

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement spindle assemblies for Murray lawn tractors. The spindle is the rotating hub that holds the blade and connects to the deck belt; it’s a common wear part that fails when bearings go bad, causing blade wobble or noise. Designed for 38", 40", and 42" Murray decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check OEM numbers: Replaces Murray 1001046, 492574MA, 092574, 094129MA, 090905MA, 092574MA, 692574MA, and 92574MA.
• Deck size: Fits Murray 38", 40", and 42" lawn tractor decks (verify your deck model tag).
• Brand fit: Murray only—not for Craftsman, MTD, or other brands unless cross-referenced.
• Measure before buying: Confirm spindle shaft diameter (typically 5/8") and bolt pattern (usually 3-bolt, 2.5" center-to-center). Measure your existing spindle or deck housing.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement; quality may vary from OEM Murray parts.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the deck, belt, blade, and old spindle. Basic hand tools and a socket set needed.
• Common gotcha: The spindle may come without grease fittings—check if yours has them and if you need to add grease before install.
• Bearing quality: Aftermarket spindles often use sealed bearings; they’re fine for residential use but may not last as long as OEM in heavy-duty mowing.
• Pack includes 2: Good value if you’re replacing both spindles at once (common when one fails, the other is near failure).

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Murray 38–42" deck with a failed spindle and want a budget-friendly 2-pack for a DIY fix. It’s a solid value for residential mowing, but if you need exact OEM fit or do commercial cutting, stick with genuine Murray spindles.
