Wheel-N-It 2,976 #2 Posted November 2, 2013 Withought going out to check the 3 48inchers I have, I would think the taller one goes in the middle too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #3 Posted November 2, 2013 Might take a peek-a-boo here but, I agree, taller spindle in the center for the PTO drive belt. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=Toro+Consumer&mn=E5-48SC01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,546 #4 Posted November 7, 2013 Just checked a couple of my parts manuals, they both specify the same spindle assembly in all 3 locations. I think it's possible somebody replaced one of yours with a different spindle. Do they all have the same size nut on top? Roughly how old is the deck?

chip61 665 #5 Posted November 7, 2013 Shaft is longer, or spindle housing is longer?? I've seen a couple spindle housings break where the snap ring goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
