2PK Genuine OEM Wright Stander Spring Compress (1.8x2.7) 48" 52" 61" Decks 16460013

What It Is

This is a pair of genuine OEM Wright Stander springs (part number 16460013) that compress the belt tensioner on 48", 52", and 61" Wright Stander zero-turn mower decks. They ensure proper belt tension for consistent blade engagement and cutting performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit for: Wright Stander models with 48", 52", or 61" fabricated decks (check your deck size stamped on the housing).
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are genuine Wright parts—no fitment guesswork. Aftermarket springs often vary in coil count or tension, causing belt slip or premature wear.
• Measurements: Each spring is 1.8" outer diameter x 2.7" free length. Measure your old spring’s length and coil diameter before ordering to confirm match.
• What to check: Verify your deck uses a single spring per tensioner arm (most Wright Stander decks do). If your model has dual springs, you’ll need two pairs.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires only a spring puller or pliers. No special tools needed, but watch your fingers (spring tension is high).
• Quality: Genuine OEM steel, zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. Aftermarket springs often rust or lose tension faster.
• Common gotcha: Don’t mix old and new springs on dual-spring setups—replace both at once to avoid uneven tension and belt wobble.
• Wear sign: If your deck belt squeals, slips, or throws when engaging blades, the spring is likely fatigued. Replace immediately to avoid belt damage.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Wright Stander with a 48", 52", or 61" deck and need a reliable, drop-in replacement for a worn or broken tension spring. It’s a no-brainer for DIY maintenance—avoids the hassle of measuring aftermarket parts and ensures your blades engage smoothly season after season. Skip it only if you’re on a tight budget and willing to risk aftermarket fitment issues.
