Craftsman LT1000 - Part 6: Cutting Deck Idler Pulleys

First grass cut of the season was delayed by an idler pulley bearing failure; so today I'm installing two new idler pulleys on a 42" cutting deck from a 2001 Craftsman LT1000. - Clay.

Shoot a video and upload it to your TH-cam channel. Maybe it will help someone else. And consider lubricating whatever deck bearings you don't replace. They're "sealed for life", but if you lube them, they will live a lot longer. Check out this video from sixtyfiveford: th-cam.com/video/9TXwfr1ydoU/w-d-xo.html

Great video!

Thanks! An easy and inexpensive repair (around 40 bucks). The rumble in the deck is gone and it cuts great. - Clay

Pull towards you not away from you. Easy way to do it

Sage advice! Pushin' on a ratchet is a bad move ... and I charge $10.00 extra for each skinned knuckle :^) - Clay.
