Your questions do not apply, the way you have them listed. The item is fully assembled it has been greased and it is ready to install. It is a good value if you compare it to other parts outlets on the internet. Yes I would buy this item again.
Don’t waste your time getting a cheaper spindle for your toro. I replaced my mower with 3 spindles before I bought the oem. I haven’t had any problems since buying this spindle.
