Arm Bracket Roller Cam Kit Fit for AYP/Husqvarna/Craftsman 42" Mower Deck LT1000 LT2000 532151785 184907 131335 155046

What It Is

This is a replacement arm bracket roller cam kit for the 42-inch stamped steel mower decks found on AYP (American Yard Products), Husqvarna, and Craftsman LT1000/LT2000 series lawn tractors. It supports and guides the mower deck’s front roller, reducing deck scalping and improving cut consistency on uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck is a 42-inch (107 cm) stamped steel type — this kit does not fit fabricated or 46-inch+ decks. Cross-reference your OEM part numbers: 532151785, 184907, 131335, or 155046. It’s designed for AYP-built tractors (Craftsman LT1000/LT2000, Husqvarna YTH series, Poulan Pro, etc.). Measure the roller bracket hole spacing (center-to-center) — it should be roughly 3.5 inches. If your deck uses a different roller arm design (e.g., a single-piece bracket or different bolt pattern), this kit won’t work. Aftermarket kits like this one are direct-fit replacements for the original stamped steel bracket and nylon roller.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: The aftermarket bracket is typically powder-coated steel; the roller is nylon. It’s durable but may not be as precisely finished as OEM — check for burrs before installation.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty — requires lifting the deck, removing the old bracket (usually two bolts), and transferring the roller. A socket set and penetrating oil (for rusted bolts) are needed. Expect 20–40 minutes.
• Common Gotchas: The roller can seize over time — if the old one doesn’t spin freely, replace it. Also, the bracket may be bent from impact; inspect the deck mounting area for damage. Use thread locker on the new bolts to prevent loosening.
• Fitment Note: Some users report the roller hole may be slightly undersized — you may need to file it for smooth rotation. Test spin before final assembly.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman LT1000/LT2000 or Husqvarna 42-inch deck is scalping or the front roller bracket is bent, rusted, or broken, this $20 kit is a cost-effective fix that restores deck leveling and prevents turf damage. It’s best for DIY owners comfortable with basic wrenching — skip it if you’d rather buy a complete OEM assembly for a few dollars more.
