Husqvarna 587564109 - Bail.ASM.BBC.EN.Ergo.OM.OR/BK

What It Is

The Husqvarna 587564109 is an OEM replacement bail assembly—the safety lever you must hold against the handlebar to engage the blade brake and keep the engine running. Designed for walk-behind mowers with BBC (Blade Brake Clutch) systems, it’s the ergonomic “Ergo” version with orange/black accents.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Primary fit: Husqvarna and selected Poulan Pro, Jonsered, and McCulloch walk-behind mowers with BBC systems, typically 2010s–current models (e.g., Husqvarna LC221, LC321, LC421 series).
• Check your model number: Look under the seat or on the mower deck—this part fits specific BBC-equipped models, not all Husqvarna push mowers.
• Measurements: Bail lever is ~10” wide, 1/2” diameter at handlebar mount. Compare with your old lever’s mounting holes and cable attachment point.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Husqvarna—guaranteed fit if your mower uses this part number. Aftermarket versions may be cheaper but often have different cable routing or plastic thickness.
• Cable not included: This is the bail lever only; the BBC cable (e.g., Husqvarna 587007401) is sold separately if yours is damaged.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the handlebar grip, routing the cable through the lever, and adjusting cable tension. Allow 20–30 minutes.
• Ergo design: The curved, rubberized grip is more comfortable than older straight levers, but it’s thicker—can feel bulky if you have small hands.
• Common gotcha: The plastic pivot boss can crack if overtightened. Use hand-tight bolts only, or add a drop of blue Loctite.
• Quality: OEM build is solid—metal cable anchor, reinforced plastic. Rated 4.1 stars, with most complaints being about cable fitment (not lever itself).

Should You Buy It

If your Husqvarna BBC mower’s bail lever is broken, cracked, or the grip is worn, this OEM part restores safety function and comfort. It’s the right choice for users who want drop-in fit without modifying cables or brackets. Skip it if your BBC cable is also damaged—you’ll need both parts.
