A complete, pre-assembled 918-06977A-compatible spindle assembly for 46" Cub Cadet and compatible riding mower decks, supplied with pulley, grease fitting, and mounting hardware.

This wyevee replacement spindle is built to fit many 46-inch Cub Cadet and compatible mower decks, designed as a direct-fit alternative to OEM part numbers such as 918-06977 and 618-06977A. The unit ships pre-greased and pre-assembled, includes a grease zerk for routine maintenance, and arrives with the pulley, pulley nut, and mounting bolts you need to speed up installation. It’s engineered with a 6-point star blade mount to reduce blade slippage and improve stability under load.

Will this spindle fit my Cub Cadet XT1-LT46 or XT2-LX46 mower?

Yes — this spindle is made to be compatible with a long list of 46" Cub Cadet deck models including multiple XT1 and XT2 variants. Always cross-check the original OEM number on your old spindle before purchase to confirm fitment.

• Compatible models: XT1-LT46, XT1-LT46 KH, XT1-LT46 EFI FAB, XT2-LX46 and many XT2 variants.
• Also fits MTD and certain Craftsman tractors that use equivalent OEM numbers.
• Replaces OEM numbers: 918-06977, 918-06977A, 618-06977, 618-06977A, 285-700.

How easy is installation and what hardware is included?

The spindle arrives fully assembled, so installation is typically straightforward if you have basic hand tools. wyevee supplies the essential fasteners and pulley components to replace the spindle without sourcing additional parts.

• Included in the package: 1 spindle assembly, 1 grease zerk, 1 pulley, 1 pulley nut, 4 threaded mounting bolts.
• Pre-threaded mounting holes and pre-assembled bearings reduce time on the lift or workbench.
• Follow mower manufacturer torque specs for mounting bolts and blade nut for safe operation.

What maintenance does the spindle require and what does pre-greased mean?

Pre-greased means the internal bearings are lubricated at the factory so the part is ready to use upon installation. A grease fitting is provided for periodic greasing — regular lubrication extends bearing life and helps prevent premature wear.

• Grease fitting located on the spindle side for easy access during routine service.
• Recommended to add grease before initial use and at regular intervals per mower manual.
• Use the grease type specified by your mower manufacturer for best results.

What design features improve durability and blade retention?

This spindle uses a solid-material assembly and a 6-point star blade mount to reduce blade slipping and distribute load evenly. Those design choices enhance stability and durability, especially under heavier cut conditions.

• 6-point star blade mount helps prevent blade rotation on the spindle hub.
• Solid-material housing built for resistance to impact and wear.
• Pulley and nut included to maintain proper belt alignment and blade speed.

Who is this for: This replacement spindle is intended for homeowners, landscapers, and repair shops replacing worn or damaged spindles on 46" Cub Cadet and compatible riding mower decks. It’s a practical choice when you need a ready-to-install, pre-greased assembly that includes the pulley and mounting hardware, and when you want to match OEM numbers like 918-06977 or 618-06977A. If you’re unsure about compatibility, check your mower’s original part number or consult a service manual before ordering.
