Description

This idler pulley is for lawn mowers. The idler pulley provides tension and helps to guide the belt that drives the lawn mower's cutting blade. Pulleys ensure that the belt moves smoothly and without obstructions.Pulleys are critical to the proper functioning of the lawn mower. Over time, a pulley might become worn from spinning against the belt. A worn pulley can reduce tension, resulting in belt slippage or damage to the belt. Pulleys themselves may also become damaged over time. Damaged pulleys can cause sounds, such as rattling, clattering, rumbling, or squeaking, that are audible when the lawn mower is running. Pulleys may loosen, causing them to wobble. Or the bearings might freeze, preventing the pulley from spinning freely. In all of these cases, it may be necessary to replace the pulley. Due to the location of the idler pulley, wearing gloves is recommended when replacing the pulley. Care must also be taken to ensure that the mower does not accidentally turn on when the idler pulley is being replaced. This lawn mower idler pulley is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with lawn mowers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt.
