8TEN 2 Deck Spindle Blade Kit Combo 40 42 inch for Murray Scotts Lawn Mower 95103E701MA 1001200MA

What It Is

This is a combo deck spindle and blade kit for 40- and 42-inch Murray and Scotts lawn tractors. It replaces worn spindles and blades in one package, saving you from buying each part separately.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Works with 40-inch and 42-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Brand/models: Direct fit for Murray and Scotts tractors using OEM part numbers 95103E701MA and 1001200MA. Also compatible with some Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan models with the same spindle specs.
• OEM cross-reference: Check your old spindle for part numbers like 95103E701MA or 1001200MA. If your spindle matches those, this kit fits.
• Measurements: Spindle shaft diameter is 5/8-inch. Blade length is 20.5 inches for 40-inch decks, 21 inches for 42-inch decks. Confirm bolt pattern (usually 5-point star) matches your blades.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket parts, not OEM. Some users report spindles lasting 1-2 seasons with normal use. Inspect for casting flaws before installation.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket set, torque wrench, and possibly a puller for stuck spindles. Expect 1-2 hours per spindle.
• Common gotchas: The included blades may be duller out of the box than OEM. Consider sharpening before first use. Spindle bearings are sealed, but not greaseable—replace when they start wobbling.
• Deck removal: You’ll likely need to remove the mower deck to access spindles. Have a jack or blocks ready.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly quick swap for worn spindles and blades on a Murray or Scotts 40/42-inch deck, this kit is a solid value. It’s not for heavy commercial use or if you demand OEM longevity. For occasional residential mowing, it’ll get the job done without breaking the bank.
