36" Deck Stacked Pulley

Recommended Posts

1987_WHEEHORSE312

Hey guys! So I was looking over my 36" side discharge deck and noticed that the stacked drive pulley was loose. It is a Double D style, and it seems the center bore is just a tad bigger on pulley. I have confirmed the spindle size is 5/8". I was talking to someone on Facebook and they speculated it may not even be the correct pulley on there and that someone did a garage hack just to sell it. There is no plate or stamp indicating any kind of model number on the deck even though the deck is in good shape.  I was wondering if someone has a replacement I can buy or may know a part number for a website to a pulley I can buy. Here are photos of all the measurements you guys will need.  The pulley with the smaller groove is the pulley that runs the belt on the deck. 20260217_163601.jpg.82f32c6fbad1105c8899711693f55970.jpg

Here are the possible deck models using the 5/8" x 3/4" double-D holes unless the spindle assemblies have been replaced with older assemblies than the deck.

You do have 3 spindle assemblies on this side discharge deck? Never listed for the 312-8 - rear discharge only.

A 2-spindle 37" side discharge deck was recommended.

Not sure if this is the original deck to the tractor. It was on it when I got the tractor. Here is a photo of the deck. I measured 36 inches across.

The folks above have you covered.

Delighted to see another user of a dual-scale tape measure!

At first I was put off that the metric was on “the bottom” but I’ve been warming up to it. I’m forcing myself to use metric whenever I can. Old dog; new(-ish) trick.

As a consultant, years ago, I set up software for payroll and benefits systems. One agricultural client used a lunar cycle calendar for payroll, i.e. he paid workers on half- and full-moon days. He got what he wanted! (I learned later that this was a common system in the UK at one time.)
