This bundle or kit is the most sensible way to go when you have any of the wear items go down from grease worms like the bearings in the spindles or idler pulleys since you have it pulled down and for the price in my own opinion is the best option for me anyway,I will stay with these kind of top quality replacement parts from now on after going the old replacing just the one that goes bad after giving the rest an eye,plus it even came with the mounting bolts which I thought was awsome. Good deal in my book,worth every bit.

These are not the same type of spindles that came on my John Deere. First off, the bolts that come with the spindles that mount the spindles to the deck are junk. One snapped off before reaching 15 ft lbs of torque. Second the spindles do not come with bolts to mount the blades. I had to buy some separate. The original blades mount with just one large nut in the center. These mount with two bolts. Third the center shaft of one of the spindles is to large to fit into the new blades and the pulley doesn’t fit over the spindle on another one. I would look for a different kit if I were you.

The cost of this kit was lower than I could find anywhere on the web - the good! Now the bad, the spindle assemblies have (4) mounting holes that are supposed to be tapped or threaded holes. These spindles were not threaded at all. I had to buy a tap and thread the spindle hubs myself - in order to re-use my existing hex head mounting bolts. If you do not tap the holes you will have use smaller bolts/screw with lock nuts. I do not consider this a safe option when you are fastening (2) spindles mounting (2) mower blades that rotate at 2000+ rpm's. John Deere spec'd 8mm bolts for a purpose with safety in mind. So, please note the description is not accurate - modifications are required.

Purchased after one of my original spindles failed. I found the kit as a "best" buy for me. I had purchased the mower used and thought refurbishing the deck would be wise, so I got this kit and though I haven't mow a single blade of grass yet, I am happy with what seems to be good quality pieces. I did tap the holes on the spindles so that I could mount the new as the old ones. The kit does not come with mounting hardware.
