The special traction drive belt is made from durable rubber, and it is responsible for helping to drive the edger forward. Edger belts are prone to wear and tear. They are a moving part that is used whenever the edger is operated. In some cases, they might start to fray or weaken, or they might break entirely. If the drive belt is not working correctly or is broken, the edger will not operate properly until the belt is replaced. Even if the belt has not broken entirely, it is a good idea to replace a worn belt before it does break. The authentic OEM replacement drive belt is identical to the belt that came with the machine. It is sold individually. The belt is specifically for use with edgers. It works on many models from Craftsman and Murray. When purchasing a replacement drive belt, owners should ensure they are choosing the right belt for their make and model.

Riding mowers and lawn tractors undergo a lot of stress on their joints and moving parts. One part of the assembly designed to withstand these forces and give a smooth ride in the process is the ball bearing assembly. This particular ball bearing unit sits between the spindle assembly and the spindle housing and is meant to reduce friction when the spindle turns. Occasionally, when a yard tractor or riding mower has been used extensively in demanding areas, the ball bearings cease to function properly. When the tractor spindle does not immediately engage or makes a loud noise when it is engaged, the issue is typically a set of burned spindle ball bearings. In order to replace the bearings, the first step for inexperienced mechanics is to consult the online description of the various piece and the order in which they go. When prepared, remove the deck and disassemble the deck arbors. Next, replace the bearings, spacers, and arbors. Then reinstall the deck. Make sure that the replacement bearings are genuine OEM replacement parts like these, which will perfectly match the originals. These bearings are compatible with Snapper, Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Craftsman, and Murray lawn equipment.
