Additional Information

The MTD Lawn Tractor Blade Idler Pulley Bracket (part number 783-08654C) replaces part number 783-08654B and helps maintain the correct belt tension needed for smooth blade operation. This bracket holds the idler pulley in place and pivots to apply the right amount of tension to the blade belt.

If your mower blades aren?t rotating properly or you're getting uneven cuts, the pulley bracket could be worn or bent. Replacing it restores the function of your cutting system and helps prevent further wear on the drive belt.

Disconnect the power source before starting. Wear gloves and use a wrench set to remove the old bracket and install the new one. If you're unsure about the process, refer to your tractor?s service manual for step-by-step instructions.
