q&p Mower Spindle Assembly Replaces AM121342

When I ordered it I wasn’t sure if it was the right one. It fit perfectly and it was great this one had carriage bolts which made installation so much easier.

Good quality

I bought 3 spindles after one froze after 30+ years of use. These came with zirk, bolts, washers, and lock nuts which appear to be stainless (except the zirk - sink coated). The bolts are longer than the originals but they do not interfere with operation. I read a review that stated that each spindle took 40 pumps of grease each and they were right; it took me around 40-50 pumps each as they are not packed from the factory. For the price compared to OEM, I didn’t mind adding the zirk fitting from the box and the grease. After adding the grease, the bearing is hard to turn so after assembly, I turned all of them by hand to loosen them up as not to bind the belt. I was amazed at how much quieter the mower was during operation. I guess I got accustomed to the noise and should have greased the old spindles better. I plan to update if these new spindles fail prematurely but impressed so far.

I bought one before without the drive pulley. Great product. Fit perfect.

Only issue was a twisted off grease fitting from over-tightening. Metal is super soft.

i am amazed at the price and quality of these spindle assemblies. They came in just a few days and were fully assembled. I haven't installed them yet, but by comparison to the originals, they look identical to the OEM parts. I expect the labor involved in the replacement procedure will be minimal. Also, I don't know how to post pictures, I would if I could. VERY HAPPY!

Same appearance, fit, and feel as the OEM part it replaced.

Noticed a little play in shaft, lubed and we shall see about longevity, so far so good , original lasted 30 years , but was made in USA, we shall see
