2 Pack 918-06991 Spindle Assembly with 756-05034A Idler Pulley 954-04060C 1/2x97 Deck Wash Kit Replace 618-06991 for Huskee LT4200 Craftsman T110 T130 T1200, Troy Bilt Bronco 42, Pony 42 Deck

What It Is

This is a 2-pack replacement spindle assembly kit for 42-inch lawn tractor decks, paired with an idler pulley and deck wash kit. Designed for residential mowing on Craftsman, Husky, and Troy-Bilt models like the LT4200, T110, and Bronco 42.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck is exactly 42 inches (measured blade tip to blade tip). This kit replaces OEM part 618-06991 and fits Craftsman T110, T130, T1200, Huskee LT4200, and Troy-Bilt Bronco 42 or Pony 42 with 42-inch decks. Check that your spindle mounting holes are 3.5 inches center-to-center and the pulley diameter matches your belt (typically 4.5 inches). The included idler pulley (756-05034A) is for the belt tensioner, not the blade drive. The deck wash kit (954-04060C) fits standard 1/2-inch hose connections. Aftermarket, not OEM—verify spindle shaft length (approx. 2.75 inches) matches your blade engagement system.

Key Things to Know

• Quality note: Aftermarket spindles may have slightly looser bearings than OEM; expect 1-2 seasons of heavy use vs. 3-4 from factory parts.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the deck, unbolting the old spindle (3 bolts per), and transferring the pulley. A jack or deck lift helps.
• Common gotcha: The idler pulley has a 5/8-inch bore—ensure your tensioner arm bolt matches. The deck wash kit needs a clear hose path; avoid kinking.
• Extra parts needed: You may need new lock washers or anti-seize on spindle bolts to prevent seizing in the deck housing.

Should You Buy It

Right for homeowners with a 42-inch Craftsman, Husky, or Troy-Bilt needing a quick, budget-friendly spindle swap—especially if you’re already replacing the belt and idler. Skip it if you want OEM durability for commercial use; the price reflects economy-grade bearings.
