2 Pack 1001200MA Spindle Assembly with 494199M Spindle Pulley Replaces Murray 1001200MA Spindle Assembly 492574MA 1001046 1001200 092574 94129MA 7601127MA for Murray 42 inch Deck Spindle

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket spindle assemblies (part 1001200MA) with pre-installed 494199M pulleys, designed to replace the original spindles on Murray 42-inch cutting decks. Each spindle holds and spins the blade, so this kit is for decks needing one or both spindles replaced due to bearing wear or pulley damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits Murray 42-inch decks only. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Model fit: Replaces OEM numbers 1001200MA, 492574MA, 1001046, 1001200, 092574, 94129MA, 7601127MA. Cross-reference your mower’s model number (e.g., 42xxx series) with these part numbers.
• Pulley: Includes 494199M pulley (3.75-inch diameter, 5/8-inch bore). Verify your belt width and pulley groove depth match—most Murray 42-inch decks use a 1/2-inch belt.
• Installation hardware: Spindle bolts and locking nuts are not included. You’ll need 5/16-18 bolts (typically 2.25 inches long) and lock washers.
• Aftermarket vs OEM: This is a non-OEM replacement. If you need exact OEM fit (e.g., for a zero-turn or commercial mower), buy genuine Murray.

Key Things to Know

• Bearing quality: Aftermarket spindles may use lower-grade bearings than OEM. Expect 1-2 seasons of residential use; heavy-duty or commercial mowing will shorten lifespan.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the deck, unbolting the old spindle, and transferring the blade adapter or pulley. A pulley puller is needed if the old pulley is seized.
• Common gotchas: The pulley set screw may loosen over time—apply blue Loctite. Also, check blade adapter fitment: some aftermarket spindles use a different keyway size (3/16-inch vs 1/4-inch).
• Warranty: Most sellers offer 30-90 day coverage. Verify return policy before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you have a residential Murray 42-inch deck and need a budget-friendly quick replacement for one or both spindles, this 2-pack is a solid value at $49.99. It’s not for heavy commercial use or decks with odd pulley sizes—measure first. For a single-spindle fix, you might find a cheaper single unit, but the 2-pack saves money if both are worn.
