2. It looks like the factory one is made from thicker steel, so much more tension from it.
So, I am ordering the correct one here in a minute. Hopefully this fixes my issues and I can get this ole Cubs' mower deck running again.

Sir, first and foremost, Thank You For Your Service!!

Reason #2 is what I was trying to say earlier...just couldn't get the correct wording in my brain to make it make sense.

If I were you, I would have a couple of those pulleys on-hand incase one gives out. I had the bearing fall out of one of mine in the middle of the yard. I had to wait to order one because nobody local stocked it.
