plumb-r 34 #1 Posted October 4, 2018 I have a 42" rear discharge deck that the pulley are through the spindles on. Problem is the model # on the deck is blank. The tag is there just no numbers. I guess wore off. I would like to buy a whole new spool piece. Cup ,bearings,spindle shaft,ect. I can then take my time and rebuild the old one and keep as a spare. Any idea of another way to ID model of deck? The tractor is a 1980 C145A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
