Welcome to the forum.

Have a model number and serial number on the deck?

Is there a drive belt with the deck and is it a 4-sided belt or a 6-sided belt?

It makes a difference to the idler assembly you inquired about depending on how many sides the belt has. 4 or 6?

If it is 4-sided half the idlers are flat and if 6-sided they are all v-idlers.

37" side discharge deck. Click on the pictures

It's the side discharge deck...so I'm guessing it's the 6 sided?

They are both side discharge, don't be guessing, you need to know if the deck uses the 6 sided or the 4 sided before you proceed.

Suspect your deck is a 1987 model year.

The model number is 05-37SC01. Click on the pictures

Now look at the idler pulleys inside the deck. If they are both for V-belts you need the idler assembly that has 2 v-pulleys as illustrated in the parts list.

Reason for mentioning this is many decks have had their idlers replaced so they match the later 4-sided belt design.

You don't want to be purchasing the wrong ones.

 

This is a good service bulletin to print out and have with you when installing the six sided belt. Do it wrong and you will be needing another belt.
