8TEN Mower Spindle for Toro Z480 ZX480 48-Inch Deck 111726 114568 108-7165 3 Pack

What It Is

This is a set of three aftermarket replacement spindle assemblies for the Toro Z480 and ZX480 zero-turn mowers with a 48-inch deck. They mount the mower blades and house the bearings that allow the blades to spin freely.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower is a Toro Z480 or ZX480 with a 48-inch deck. These spindles replace OEM part numbers 111726, 114568, and 108-7165. Measure the center-to-center distance of the mounting holes on your existing spindle (typically 3.5 inches) and the spindle shaft diameter (usually 5/8 inch with a keyway). Also check that your blade bolt pattern matches—these use a standard 5/8-inch shaft with a key. They will not fit 42-inch or 52-inch decks without modification.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket at a lower price than OEM. Some users report the bearings feel slightly looser than factory Toro spindles, but they hold up well for residential use.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket set, torque wrench, and possibly a puller for stubborn old spindles. The 3-pack saves time if replacing all at once.
• Common gotcha: The included bolts may be metric; verify thread pitch matches your deck. Toro often uses SAE threads, so you might need to reuse your original hardware.
• Grease fitting: These spindles typically have a grease zerk—make sure to grease them before first use and every 25 hours to extend bearing life.

Should You Buy It

If you need to replace all three spindles on your Toro Z480 or ZX480 48-inch deck and want to save money over OEM parts, this 3-pack is a solid, cost-effective choice for residential or light commercial use. For heavy commercial mowing, OEM spindles may last longer, but for most homeowners this is a good value.
