This ACEBRI unit is built as a direct-fit replacement for OEM part numbers including 618-06991 and 918-06991, and it matches equivalent items from Oregon and Stens so you can restore deck performance without buying an entirely new spindle housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich machines will this spindle assembly fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ACEBRI 918-06991 lists compatibility with a wide range of lawn tractors and mower decks.

Inspect surrounding deck components — pulleys, belts and mounting hardware — because worn adjacent parts can limit the improvement a new spindle provides.
