Reviews

Perfect fit and relatively easy replacement.
December 07, 2021

I purchased this to replace the mower deck on my 23 year-old Craftsman model 917.270810 42" lawn tractor, which had completely rusted out. Everything fit and matched up flawlessly. Disassembly of the old deck was the toughest part, as several fasteners were rusted solid and had to be cut off with a grinder. An impact wrench makes disassembly much easier. Order new mower spindle assemblies with the deck. If yours have not failed already, they will soon. I have replaced mine every 5-6 years. Impressed with how easy this was overall, and that this tractor is now working well again after 23 years.

It was the correct product

The product was good quality and correct. My issue was with the cost of shipping. 200.00 is a ridiculously price to ship.

Perfect replacement.

Correct replacement part for my old damaged mower deck. Another reviewer mentioned that some holes are not tapped. As far as I can tell, that is because the original bolts are self-tapping. At least that was the case with my mower.

Good Replacement Deck
May 20, 2020

This fit my 1995 42" Craftsman 15.5HP Riding Mower 917.259830 Pretty much an exact replacement but be prepared to drill and tap some holes and you will most likely need a collection of 5/16 X 3/4 carriage bolts and nuts. Wear gloves as all the edges are like razor blades. Was packed well at the point of shipping, but by the time it got here the box was destroyed.

Just about perfect
May 05, 2020

Overall the switch over from the old deck (more than 8 years old) to the new deck was straight forward. The only difficulty was that some of the holes were not threaded like they were on the old deck. So I had to decide between buying a tap and die set to do it myself or buy nuts and bolts to replace the old bolts. I opted for buy new bolts with nuts and it work out fine. The key is doing one piece at a time. Also, the old bolts were tough to get turning but they did and I did not have to replace any of them. While it took time it was not impossible to accomplish.
