2 Pack 918-06991 Spindle Assembly with 954-04060C Belt 1/2x97 Replaces 918 06991 618-06991 61806991 for Troy Bilt Pony 42, Bronco 42, Craftsman 42" T110 T1200 T130 T1400 Huskee LT4200 Decks

What It Is

This 2-pack of spindle assemblies and a 1/2x97-inch drive belt replaces worn or failed spindles on 42-inch cutting decks for Troy-Bilt Pony, Bronco, Craftsman T110/T1200/T130/T1400, and Huskee LT4200 tractors. It keeps the blades spinning smoothly and transfers power from the engine to the deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch decks—measure your deck width before ordering.
• Models: Confirmed for Troy-Bilt Pony 42, Bronco 42; Craftsman T110, T1200, T130, T1400; Huskee LT4200. Check your model number against OEM parts 918-06991, 618-06991, or 61806991.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement, not genuine MTD/Craftsman. It’s a direct fit but verify pulley diameter (usually 3.5 inches) and shaft length (approx. 2.75 inches) match your spindles.
• Belt: Included belt is 1/2-inch wide by 97 inches long. Confirm your original belt length—some 42-inch decks use a 96- or 98-inch belt.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket spindles may have slightly looser bearings than OEM, but this set includes grease fittings for longer life. Grease them before first use.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the deck, unbolting old spindles (3 bolts each), and transferring pulleys. A socket set and jack stands help.
• Common gotcha: The belt may be tight on some decks—check routing against your manual. If it squeals, the belt length might be off; measure your old belt before installing.
• Warranty: No brand warranty stated, but 2-pack pricing is cheaper than buying single OEM spindles.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a 42-inch Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or Huskee with worn spindles (wobbling blades, noise) and want a cost-effective fix with a new belt included. Skip it if you need OEM parts for warranty purposes or have a non-standard deck size—measure carefully first.
