42 Mower Deck Spindles Blades Rebuild Kit Fits Husqvarna LT1000(Only 3-Hole Spindle), 2 Spindles 130794, 2 Blades 134149, Idler Pulley 131494 and 173437, 95 1/2'' Belt 144959

What It Is

This is a complete 42-inch mower deck rebuild kit for Husqvarna LT1000 lawn tractors equipped with a 3-hole spindle design. It includes two spindles (OEM 130794), two blades (OEM 134149), an idler pulley (OEM 131494 and 173437), and a 95.5-inch drive belt (OEM 144959) to restore cutting performance and belt-driven deck operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 42-inch cutting deck only. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model restriction: Fits Husqvarna LT1000 only if your mower uses a 3-hole spindle mounting pattern. Do not buy if your spindle has a 4-hole pattern (common on newer or different Husqvarna models).
• OEM cross-reference: Spindles replace Husqvarna 130794; blades replace 134149; idler pulley replaces 131494 and 173437; belt replaces 144959.
• Check before buying: Remove one old spindle and count the mounting holes. Measure belt length (old belt should be 95.5 inches end-to-end). Verify blade length (should be approximately 15 inches for a 42-inch deck).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket kit with solid reviews (4.6/5). Spindles and blades are comparable to OEM, but the belt may be slightly thinner than OEM—expect a snug fit.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic tools (socket set, wrench, jack/ramps). You’ll need to remove the deck, swap spindles, replace blades, and route the belt around pulleys. Budget 1–2 hours.
• Common gotchas: The 3-hole vs 4-hole spindle mismatch is the #1 reason for returns. Also, the idler pulley may need a separate bolt or spacer (not included). Use thread locker on spindle mounting bolts.
• Belt tension: After installation, check belt tension. If too loose, adjust the idler arm; if too tight, double-check belt routing.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if your Husqvarna LT1000 has a 42-inch deck with 3-hole spindles and you want a cost-effective, all-in-one rebuild. It’s ideal for DIYers comfortable with deck removal and basic mechanical work. Avoid if you have a different model or a 4-hole spindle—those require a separate kit.
