Since Z28's question was answered and I have a question of the same exact subject, I am going to jump in here with question and comments.
I have a later 2182 with a six inch PTO pulley. I have an earlier Haban deck with the smaller original spindle driven pulley. This original deck pulley and shaft have the usual keyway problems. I have a perfect replacement center spindle and pulley but the pulley is larger. I can operate the machine but the current belt is so short it brings the mule drive pulley back into the axle. I believe a belt a couple inches longer will put me in good shape. The tractor seems to have the power to spin the deck, cut grass, at the stepped up speed. Should I look for a correct size center spindle or buy a larger belt? Are these spindles available new or rebuilt? What say you, experts
