good value
needed something inexpensive to repair the worn spindle bearings on my 2006 model troy built. these went on and fit great but luckily I hand spun each one before putting the belt on. one of the new ones had a bent pulley that wobbled up and down, easy fix however I took it back off and reused one of my old pulleys and it spun straight and smooth. mowed twice so far and they work great.

Good but must tap holes in spindle first. The self tapping bolts break otherwise.
This was the correct fit for my machine. The spindles are good quality and it comes with needed pulleys. My complaint would be it is sent with the mounting bolts, said to be “self tapping” into the spindle. But they would not tap all the way through without breaking the head off. Either the spindle cast pilot hole is too small or the bolt is low quality. After breaking two bolts. I tapped the spindle with a 5/16 x18 Tao and then used red lock tire to install all bolts. The spindles are installed now and working as needed.

YEE-HAAA! Best price on eBay!
The old mower is still going strong as ever, at 13 years old! A few parts along the way, like this spindle, seem to be better quality than the parts it was built with in 2006.

Perfect Replacement.
Spindles arrived well packed and very fast. Spindles were the correct size and had grease fittings on them as well. The stock ones did not. My only disappointment was the bolt holes were not tapped and no self tapping bolts were included. So a hardware store run was required to get them installed. Note: The last set of these I changed on another brand came with new bolts.

Great value for the money
I have installed one spindle, and it seems to fit perfectly. The assembly did not come with a nut to retain the blade, but my local Cub Cadet dealer had them in stock, so that was no problem. The only feature that I would change is the grease fitting. The old spindle had ti on the upper part, above the deck, and this one is located below the deck, making it harder to reach. Not a major problem, since blades need to be sharpened anyway on a regular basis. Overall, I am very pleased with the apparent quality for the price.

Installed like OEM spindles and cost way less with a good warranty.
Cheap, but they have a good warranty. I wish the spindles had came with the hardware, but most do not. Installed like OEM, now the lawn tractor cuts smoother, faster, quieter, and has less drag on the engine.

Troybilt spindle
The order was very easy and a good price. FedEx screwed up and it cost me a couple of extra days but was ok. I would have given a five star but I had to have it tapped before I could put it on the deck. Now the product works well.

Obviously had been sitting on the shelf for a LONG time. The aluminum was weathered and crusty, the grease fittings were the wrong size and one of the pulleys was bent. Also the bolts that were sent with it did not fit well. Overall it was a good value but very poor in quality control.

Pulleys are not running true and have a slight wobble. I might switch to the old ones. Not sure of this is typical and the cause of the vibration I still have after replacing the belt and new OEM blades. But might contribute to premature bearing and belt failure. This might be from shipping and would suggest separate boxing or purchasing of pulleys. Some spindles are sold without the pulleys and nuts. The MTD open deck design around spindles and with stock blades are noisy and have to wear ear protection.

"Has a Grease Fitting!"
First I have to clarify that this spindle is made like most others I checked. However, the one thing about this one that stood out was the fact of it having a grease fitting. I like this feature and if a body keeps it greased regularly, you most likely will never have to replace it again.
