Mower Deck Spindle Assembly 82-362 Replaces 103-9081

Cutting deck spindle assembly 82-362, a complete assembly with housing, shaft and bearings and a 7-point star blade mount, replacing spindle 103-9081 on 48 inch zero-turn decks. Spindles differ by deck, so check that your mower's parts list shows 103-9081 for your serial range before ordering. Replace the spindle when it grinds, runs hot, has play at the blade, wobbles the blade or leaks grease. Check the belt, pulleys and mounting holes while it is off, torque the mounting and blade bolts to the mower manual figures, and grease it if it has a fitting.

• REPLACES 103-9081 - If your mower's parts list shows 103-9081 for the deck spindle, this is the assembly. Check the number and the serial range on your parts list before ordering.
• FOR 48 INCH DECKS - Used on 48 inch zero-turn cutting decks. Spindles differ by deck, so go by the part number rather than the deck size alone.

• INSTALLATION - Check the belt, pulleys and the deck mounting holes while it is off, torque the mounting bolts and the blade bolt to the mower manual figures, and grease the spindle if it has a fitting.
