Description

This is a jackshaft housing used in several types of Murray lawn and garden equipment. The housing connects to the drive shaft which then connects to the pulley that is driven by the engine and various belts. The blade, blade adapter, blade nut, and washers are connected to the drive shaft under the jackshaft housing. In some cases, the jackshaft housing can become damaged or broken and will need to be replaced.If the jackshaft housing has a crack, holes, or other damage, replacement starts with removing the nut from the jackshaft pulley. Remove the bolts from the jackshaft housing so it can be removed. The new jackshaft housing can be replaced using self-tapping bolts. Attach the pulley to the shaft and tighten the nut. Next, the blade can be installed. The deck can be removed from the machine to make it easier to reach the needed components.This is a genuine OEM replacement jackshaft housing sourced directly from the manufacturer. It's compatible for use with lawnmowers and string trimmers created by Murray. It is sold as an individual part. It comes with a bearing and a zerk fitting.
