Craftsman Lawn Mower Spindle

The Lawn Mower Spindle Assembly is an OEM part for MTD lawn mowers Located in the mower's lower deck, the spindle assembly connects the blade to the drive belt. This enables the mower to cut grass effectively. This assembly is comprised of an adapter and a spindle. It gets activated as a pulley spins the drive belt. While designed to withstand minor impacts, larger or harder objects may cause damage. Damage can lead to blade misalignment or detachment.

You should replace the spindle assembly if it becomes damaged due to impacts with rocks, roots, or other hard objects, or if it wears out over time from regular use. A faulty spindle assembly can lead to uneven cuts, excessive vibration, and potential damage to other mower components.

Symptoms of a bad spindle assembly include:

• Uneven or missed areas of grass during mowing
• Excessive vibration or wobbling of the mower deck
• Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing
• Blades not spinning properly or at all

This OEM part is compatible with various brands under MTD, including Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, Bolens, and some Craftsman models.
