Husqvarna 812000029 Clip Ring

What It Is

The Husqvarna 812000029 Clip Ring is a small retaining ring used to secure pulleys, blades, or other components on the spindle shaft of select Husqvarna lawn mower decks and zero-turn mowers. It’s a factory OEM replacement part, not an aftermarket generic.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (e.g., LC 221, YTH24V48) and deck size (42", 48", 54"). This clip ring fits Husqvarna’s stamped steel decks and some AYP/Electrolux-built decks from the early 2000s onward. It is not universal—check your parts diagram for the exact position (often on blade spindle or idler pulley). Measure the shaft diameter: this ring fits a 7/16" or 1/2" shaft (verify your specific spindle). Avoid aftermarket “universal” clip rings—this OEM part ensures correct tension and thickness.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made of hardened spring steel, resists rust and fatigue better than cheap alternatives.
• Installation difficulty: Easy with a clip ring pliers (internal or external type—use the right one or risk bending the ring).
• Common gotcha: The ring can snap if over-spread; buy two if you’re not experienced. Also, check for a worn groove on the shaft—if the groove is damaged, a new ring won’t hold.
• Price: At $5.29, it’s cheap, but shipping can double the cost—combine with other parts.

Should You Buy It

If you need to replace a lost, bent, or corroded clip ring on a Husqvarna spindle or pulley, this OEM part is the correct, reliable choice. It’s not for universal fit or non-Husqvarna machines. Buy it if you value exact fit and longevity over saving a dollar on a generic.
