trying to ID a 36 rear discharge deck

[njdpo 10]

Hi all,

I have a Wheel Horse Commando 800 with a 36-inch mower deck. I recently noticed that the mower deck has become very noisy when it is running.

I removed the deck and found that the plastic idler pulley is very sloppy and noisy. I don't think this pulley is original, and I'm not even sure it is the correct size.

Does anyone know what the correct part number is? Were there multiple idler pulleys depending on the deck model or serial number? Unfortunately, the deck has been repainted multiple time - I don't have the model/serial information for the deck.

Do I need to somehow identify the specific deck to determine the correct part number?

Is there a measurement I can take from the deck that would help identify the correct pulley?

I'm pretty sure the plastic idler pulley that's on there now is not the original/stock pulley. I can get a picture if that helps. 

Thanks!

Dave

Oh I should add that I am also look for the PART # for the (left/right) deck wheels at the rear of the deck.

they appear to be well made - the bearings are fine...  the rubber on the wheels is nearly gone.

 

thanks Dave.

When comparing decks it is quicker to use an onsite look-up such as this. Just enter the model numbers as posted.

You can also see what is still available from Toro if it is priced.

Armed with original and superseded part numbers you can search out the aftermarket sources.
