Wheelhorse84 87 #1 Posted April 4, 2013 So I need to replace my center spindle in my 42 inch side discharge deck. The threads where the blade bolts on are severly damaged by the previous owner. I call to get a price from my local dealer 200 and some odd dollars. Thats alot of money. He said it came with the double pully also. Any cheaper alteratives? The decks model # is 78345 Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
