I ordered just the pulley from Cub to see if by chance they put the wrong pulley on the center pulley. What a PITA this has turned out to be!

And to top it all off, just got word that the cogged deck belts for the Originals went NLA this week, Grrrrrrrr

Thanks man!
Can I ask ya to measure than thing and see how tall it is from the bottom of the bottom pulley to the top of the top pulley?

Charlie,

Are the two outer spindle pulley's mounted upside down? Generally, the hex hub part of those pulleys are on top so you can put a wrench on them when removing/installing the center bolt with the zerk fitting or if you can't get the blade nut to break loose to remove the blade. I can't tell for certain from your picture but looks like the outer pulley hubs may have a hex mount on both sides. That would be different than the original pulley hubs, if that is the case, and would explain the difference in height between the center and outer hubs.

The spindles would probably work okay with the difference in alignment but could cause some premature wear to the belt since the pulleys aren't aligned or the belt could spin off the pulley under high loading.
