Additional Information

Mandrel pulley 756-04129D, manufactured by MTD, replaces part number 756-04129C. It attaches to the top of the mandrel assembly on the mower deck and transfers power to the blade, allowing it to spin at cutting speed.

If your lawn tractor blades aren't turning or you hear grinding noises coming from the mower deck, the mandrel pulley may be worn or damaged. Replacing the pulley can restore smooth blade operation and prevent further damage to the mandrel assembly.

To install, disconnect the spark plug wire and lower the deck to a stable work surface. Use hand tools to remove the old pulley, then install the new one and tighten all fasteners to spec. Always wear work gloves during this repair to protect your hands from sharp deck components.
