ACEBRI 130794 Spindle Assembly LT2000 LT3000 DLT3000 Lawn Mower 128285 128774 137641 for Husqvarna 532130794 for AYP 130794 285-456 38" 42" Inch Riding Lawn Mower 1 Pack

What It Is

The ACEBRI 130794 spindle assembly is the rotating hub that drives your mower blade. It’s designed for 38" and 42" riding mower decks, primarily replacing worn or failed OEM spindles on Husqvarna, AYP, and Craftsman LT/LT/DLT series tractors.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Deck size & model: Fits 38" and 42" decks on Husqvarna LT2000, LT3000, DLT3000 series, plus many AYP/Craftsman equivalents. Will not fit 46" or larger decks.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Husqvarna 532130794, AYP 130794, 128285, 128774, 137641, and 285-456. If your spindle has a different number, measure the mounting hole pattern (typically 3-bolt, 3.5" spacing) and shaft diameter (usually 5/8").
• Physical check: Measure your existing spindle’s housing height (approx. 4.5") and shaft length. This unit uses a standard 5/8" keyed shaft with a 1/4-20 threaded tip for blade retention. Confirm your blade bolt pattern matches.

If your deck has a different bolt pattern or shaft size, this won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: This is a budget aftermarket spindle. It works well for residential use but may not match OEM bearing longevity under heavy commercial use. Grease fittings are present for periodic lubrication.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the deck, unbolting the old spindle (3 bolts), and transferring the blade pulley and blade. You’ll need a socket set, wrench, and possibly a puller for seized pulleys.
• Common gotcha: The supplied blade bolt may be slightly shorter than OEM. Reuse your original bolt if the threads are good. Torque to 40-50 ft-lbs.
• Bearing noise: If you hear grinding after installation, the bearings may be dry. Add grease through the zerk fitting before first use.

Should You Buy It

If you have a Husqvarna or AYP 38"/42" riding mower with a worn or noisy spindle and want a cost-effective fix for residential mowing, this is a solid choice. Skip it if you need OEM durability for commercial use or your spindle has a different bolt pattern/shaft size.
