If this kit is supposed to fit 42" Craftsman's Mowers, why so may comments about parts not fitting, i.e belts, mandrels that were not pre-drilled,etc

The mandrels I bought were predrilled and tapped. I had no problems fitting these parts to my mower. My mower is a 14 year old 42" Craftsman and I replaced the original mandrels.

I have a lt 1000 and the kit fit perfectly. The only thing was the blades that came were not for mulching just cutting. All the spindles, hardware and bolts were correct.

If you measure the end of the filter from one flat to the flat on the opposite side and it measures 64mm (2.51 inches) it will fit. If you can't figure out how to measure a filter, then perhaps you should let a mower shop do the work. It is just a big socket wrench.

don`t know for sure mine was a 42" pouland made by mtd, and it fits, craftsman is most likly made by mtd also and if it is a 42" deck it should fit, but i would check with the supplier to make sure..

Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your mower parts. I tried researching that model, but only found part #'s for 38 and 46-inch decks. Possibly try some further online research to confirm part #'s. AMC Parts Store.

I'm not sure what the features are on different models but my mower is also a 42" and its about 7 yrs old. This fits perfectly. Hope this helps.

I can't say for sure. The kit is pretty generic. The blades just bolt on after you remove the originals. They have held a good edge. The attachment that covers the side vent is also pretty generic and hooks on to the deck with strong bungies. If Sears uses the same 42" decks on most of it's mowers then it should fit. Good luck

Yes, it does fit. I ordered this for my Craftsman mower which called for 154427 or 175131. I had no issue with fitting. Make sure you check the upper and lower nylon bushing, as these could possibly be bad. If you axle is damaged on either end of where the spindles go through, there is a likely chance these bushings are worn. Also check the spacer and brace that goes in the center slot of that axle.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. Are you wanting extras? You may have to get another belt. You need to make sure that the belt that it comes with is the correct one. This mower for some reason can take two different belts.

I believe that when I ordered my poulan nose roller kits for my craftsman 42" mower decks that they are made to fit both 38" and 42" poulan and craftsman decks. They are easy to install and bolt right up to existing holes and slots in front deck brackets. Hopes this helps.

I have a older 42 inch craftsman. It worked fine I suspect yours would fit too

I installed this on a Craftsman 48" 917.288420 lawn Tractor and it fit perfect and fills good I use it on leaves not on grass.I think all 48" decks are made the same mine is an 2008 model year this WILL NOT FIT ON A 42" DECK.

Sandra, I looked at a 30" Husqvarna mower, and I don't think it will. Go to mowers direct dot com and you see the difference in the way the 30" looks and a 42" is quite different.

Just as John F said in his reply. The belt CC1042 is only for a 42" mower. But it works just fine on that.

Yea the hub was to wide for my craftsman mower also. I just took out 1 of the metal sleeves and ground down the hub. Kind of a pain but better than spending 4300 on the right one.

Rick: My mower is an 05 and they fit and work great.. I should have got them years ago, Unless there were other 42's out there I'd say yes.You will have to drill holes... the places are dimpled on the deck.

The interior width of the arbor is 42"--should be no problem for most mowers
