Has anyone else noticed that the blade nut on these are a lot tighter than on the original spindles? ...& no, I'm not crossthreading.

I used these on a JD LA145. I reused the original blade nut. I did not notice any difference with the blade nut.

I noticed the one that I got was tight and when I studied it I saw it was deliberately machine stamped on the end to make it tight. I presume its similar to a nylon nut or lock washer to prevent unwanted loosening

Not sure what issue you're having trouble w/ on the 3 spindle wheels. Mine have the 3 spindle & I've not had any trouble w/ them.

It's the wrong shaft I think. I have heard that lowes hardware and sears carry a brand that has many attachments and work together. I've not tried them but both these companies carry husqvarna equipment.

There is a "butterfly" nut where the blade is that you can loosen to move the blade out or in for thinner or thicker pealing. Tighten nut when done. I had to adjust mine when mine was new and it made a world of difference.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I will tell you that we learned NOT to over tighten the bolt after cleaning the cartridges. Only tighten enough to have the coils touching. Hopefully that makes sense.

T,Got the new saw...everything looks ok but it does have the wrong label on the motor housing as before. Derek at Poulan is going to send me the correct one. It is interesting to note that on the bottom of the ES350 label, the name "HUSQUAVARNA" appears. I guess you just don't know who makes what anymore....It's been good talking to you, hope all goes well with your new saw.Regards,Steve

No. As long as it is in good shape. I replaced the blade assembly but not the nut.

The nuts have a nylon lock washer which makes them hard to screw on. Using an end wrench (and not a socket) is your best bet because there isn't much room around the nut. If the wrench seems really hard to turn then you might have the wrong nuts.

Had the same problem a couple of years ago. Waited a few months for a spindle. I love the lathe but the parts problem will most likely prevent me from buying any other delta tools.

I got mine yesterday (5/14/14), and the pin issue has been fixed. It has a bolt now like the picture in the description. I will try to upload a picture if I can figure out how, but at least the pair I got does not have a pin. I haven't used them yet, but they look and feel sturdy to me and the grips feel much nicer than my old wooden handle ones.

See my review. I had the same problem. The blades were not the same outside diameter, thus one cutting deeper than the other.

If the part numbers match then it should fit. The bearings do come pre - installed. I replaced one on my 42 in murray by getting the part number of the original spindle and this was a perfect fit. Didnt bother with purchasing self tapping screws because the originals tapped the threads just fine as long as you went slow while installing. From start to finish, install was roughly 15 min. Be advised that was with the aid of an air impact for blade installation

Mine was very tight the first time I put on a new blade, after that, it was much easier. Just stick with the counter clock wise

Kathy are you asking about just the spindles or the entire set? The spindles seem to be the same. Not sure on the rest, send me your model number and serial number and I can figure it out for you. This set was for a zero turn mower.RA

For anyone reading this...you do have to use a wrench on the "lock" nuts (with the white nylon inner) to turn them until they are tight. you should not just "hand" tighten. If the bolts can spin while you are turning the locknuts with a wrench, then you need to hold the bolt head with a wrench or pliers. The threaded end of the bolt should stick out of the nut a little when you are done...but the real test is that you can't turn the nut anymore because it is very tight and hard to turn.

Mine fit fine. If they are too big try grinding them down a bit. If they are a little small they are used to clamp things so they will straighten out when used.If you prefer, contact Black and Decker and they can send you a new set. Or you can buy a new one.

I think what may be happening is they are making the blades with no tolerance at the hole because it is very difficult to get a good box cut unless the two blades are perfectly aligned. Unfortunately your arbor may be just above that tolerance. If you can bring the blades to a good machine shop they can make sure they are 5/8 inches. If your lucky they will reem them for you. If they fit right you will have no problem and you will love the box joints that you get.
