Fit Our Cub Cadet 54" Riding Mower Perfectly
a year ago
After 3 hard years of mowing our 3+ acres, the original spindles wore out.
Hadn't noticed how loud the mower was getting, but its super quiet now with the new spindles.
I tried to find the part number for them based on what the sticker said on the tractor:
618P09236
Couldn't find one, so I went with these and they are a perfect fit.
You do have to tap them, which I highly recommend versus just trying the 'self tapping" screw application. If the self tapping doesn't work, there's a potential for ruining the mounting hole in my opinion.
Yes, I recommend this product.
