Deck rollers, anti scalp roller

[5151 17]

Deck roller needed.

Not finding one like was on there.

It is 4+" high and  my other tractor (and replacements) has 3" high. Both 1/2".

 

No part number, no deck number.

 

Tractor is 310-8.

Deck is 37" OUTSIDE,

3 spindle, only 1 roller it's in front,

2 wheels in rear.

And is pretty beat but has new paint lol.

 

Got a part # ?

Is it supposed to be 4"?

Those are usually called 36" decks (the cutting width).  All of them I have seen had a 3" roller on the front.  It may have been a user improvement.  On my 3-blade decks, I've gotten in the habit of putting cheap 6" ball bearing mower wheels on a long 1/2 inch bolt.  Rolls over tree roots and such better than the little rollers, and I don't cut real short anyway.

Thanks.

User improvement or that's what he had maybe. This deck did get hit hard or repeatedly in that area.

 

I have another deck from smaller briggs tractor but that is another time. I'll finish this one first.

3" it will be then.

Fixing the fixes is ok with me.
