Aluminum Spindle Assembly - Mowers: 48ZB, 50ZB, 62ZB

Perfect fit. Easy to install. Add new belt after changing spindle and everything is great. Thank you. I can leave out the fact that it did take 5 months to get the part into my possession. That ain't cool. But the customer concern and follow up I give 5 stars. Excellent intentions...poor inventory.

I have two or the other questions. While changing the deck belt. I found a thin belt that looked broken. What could this be for? Our was wedged yoo underneath near the rear axle. Alternator? Maybe..because my lights don't work..haven't worked for months. It's s very thin belt like a round boot shoe lace. Maybe 20in total. I have the remnants. I looked on engine diagram and can't find it. I'm almost sure it isn't a frayed piece of the previous deck belt. It looks complete and perfect..just in four pieces.

I ran over a metal fence post that was hiding in high grass and snapped the bolt off inside my spindle. I tried in vain to remove the broken stub, finally giving in and purchasing a new spindle (my mower has 8 hours on it). Reached out to GXi to confirm whether or not this spindle kit comes with the necessary hardware to mount the blade (since there is a separate item for the hardware). In typical fashion, GXi never responded to my inquiry, so I purchased the hardware kit as well ($15 or so). My spindle DID come with the hardware to attach the blade. I could have saved the $15 had GXi simply returned my email.
Install of the spindle was relatively effortless.

Always check your yard for objects so it doesn't cost you a paycheck to get parts because they are expensive
