The spindles are correct for the Bronco (Troy Bilt fix me every time you use me). The units come with zirk fittings which seem to be smaller than standard. Lube it manually before installation. The blade nut is not included. It seems to be an upgrade from the stock dry spindle units. New blades, belt and spindles ran quiet and smooth. Now to replace the drive belts again PIA!
I’m glad this was a gift as I would be totally disappointed with Troy Bilt over this inferior design.

They fit.
Easy enough to install. They are somewhat balanced. They fit. They aren’t the sharpest and do leave bent grass but it’s a small thing compared to the ongoing repairs to this TroyBilt Bronco Forever-Fix-Me.

Just what the Doctor ordered.
Upon opening the box the unit was similar to the UFlex pump it was replacing. Installation was a breeze fitting the 4 bolt universal standard pattern. The helm footprint is 5/8” smaller which simply means there is less of everything in the pump. The fill and bleed was simple and it seems to operate the cylinder under load appropriately. After one sea trial, there is no torque feedback while underway which is an essential feature for safe operation of this 200 Optimax. At this point I would not hesitate to purchase this helm pump again. It does the job.
