How easy is installation and what hardware is included?

Each spindle ships with the fasteners and fittings you need to swap a worn unit quickly: blade nut, pulley lock nut, grease fitting, and four threaded mounting bolts. The mounting holes are threaded, so in many cases you can bolt the new spindle straight into the deck without additional modifications.

• Included: blade nut, pulley lock nut, grease fitting, 4 threaded mounting bolts.
• 7-point star blade mount for stable blade alignment and secure fastening.
• Pre-greased at the factory, but recommended to grease before first use.
• Designed for direct-fit exchange where OEM specifications match.

What maintenance should I do to keep the spindle working well?

The spindle is greasable and benefits from periodic lubrication to protect bearings and extend service life. Use a compatible chassis grease through the provided grease fitting, and inspect the blade mount, nuts, and pulleys during routine deck maintenance for any signs of wear.

• Grease before first use and then at regular intervals based on hours of operation.
• Inspect blade mounting points and replace fasteners if damaged.
• Check pulleys and belts after installation to ensure proper alignment.

What should I verify before buying to avoid returns?

Confirm your tractor’s model and deck size, compare OEM part numbers, and check the spindle mounting hole pattern against your existing unit. If your current spindle carries one of the listed OEM numbers or your model appears in the compatibility list, this Fourtry pair is likely the correct replacement.

• Match your OEM part number (GY20454, GY20962, GY20867, GY21098) if available.
• Verify deck size (42" or 48") and mounting hole configuration.
• Confirm spine and pulley clearances to ensure belt alignment after swap.
