Mower Deck Blade and belt pulley nut torque???

[Searcher60 209]

Hello, anyone know the belt and blade nuts torque on like a 78360 or 78345 mower deck? Is it the same torque for both nuts? Thanks!

I believe the Z spindle assemblies in the ID charts are used in the 78345 and 78360 decks.

The torque spec. for the blades is also in the deck operator manuals.

@Searcher60 make sure you use a 6 POINT SOCKET  on those nuts , also replace the nuts if  corroded or visibly round edge worn. pete

Crank it ‘til it snaps, then back it off 1/4 turn.  That usually works for me
