MTD 918-04512B Spindle Asm-Blade

MTD type OEM spindle. Well made with correct pulleys already installed.

I read review about having to tap mount due to no threads for bolts but bought anyway since I own one. After removing the spindle I realized the bolts on deck are self threading bolts so it coming without threads is the way its supposed to be. I went ahead and tapped it to put different style bolts but isnt necessary. Worked great and had no issues.

Item is as said and fits great

if you don't moderate mechanical skills, do not buy this part, it is not like the one you took off your cub cadet. the mounting holes are not tapped. there is no grease fitting to lube the part for longer wear and tear. if i had not really needed the part to cut my grass i would have sent it back. i was an assembler in my past and i had the tools and knowledge needed to make this part work. be warey of the parts you buy from this company. the machining of the part was really sloppy, the edges were sharp enough to cut your flesh

Item was used to seat one of two blades on a sears riding mower.

Awesome

2009 cub cadet perfect fit

Work on the Cadet is getting to be a habit.
