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.

Wrong Part

a year ago
We were told that if we had a Cub Cadet 54" zero turn mower, this would fit. It didn't fit and was the wrong part - we had to bring it back and order directly from Cub Cadet :(
