Parts for Craftsman 247204110: Deck / Spindle Parts

This is a Craftsman lawn tractor 42 inch deck. This houses the blades of a lawn tractor, so maintaining this part is important. If the mower deck is damaged through impacts with objects or due to rust, it should be replaced. It is recommended to place a piece of cardboard under the deck to make it easier to slide out once it is disconnected. Make sure the PTO is off, and drop the deck level to the ground. Next, the belt keeper needs to come off. It is located in front of the deck. There is a self-tapping screw holding it that will need a socket to take out. Take note of the hole it is attached to, so the new deck can go into the same hole. On both sides front and back, there is a bowtie pin that connects the deck support rod to the lift arm to the deck that pliers can pull out. Take out the support rod and let the deck drop to the ground. Then take out the PTO cable with another pin and pull out the PTO. Lastly, remove the spring and drag the deck out.

This is a flanged lock nut. It’s designed to apply tension, typically on a joint that needs to have a certain amount of flex. As such, it’s mostly used on snowblower chutes and lawnmower handles. They can remain in place, but with a forgiving connection that can take a beating. The nut size is 3/8, with a thread size of 16. A lock nut will generally last for many years. However, the silicone ring inside will wear down if it’s frequently tightened and loosened. It needs to be replaced when it will no longer reliably remain in place. Generally, this begins as a symptom of slight slippage and worsens as time goes on. Thankfully, whether it’s being used on a snowblower or a lawnmower, this nut is generally straightforward to access. Simply unscrew the old nut, then screw the new nut on until it’s nice and tight. Our flanged lock nuts are genuine OEM MTD nuts, and they are sold individually.

This flat washer is used to attach the idler pulley in a number of small and medium sized gasoline powered engines.

It is a good idea to replace the surrounding hardware when replacing the idler pulley; tNhis includes the flat washer, which is subject to corrosion during heavy use. To replace the idler pulley, first detach the spark plug cap. If on a mower or tractor, drop the mower deck.
