These fit my hustler mower and are heavier than the original

We had parts break on mower. Expensive to have fixed. After changing parts mower runs well. Sturdy.Bought another set in cause not available in future. Neighbor also has same mower which broke at same time. He ordered them and mower runs great.Wonderful price. Received quickly. All parts fit well.

Perfect fit and so much stronger than the original brackets. Came with heavy washers and bolts for every bracket. Incredible value for this upgrade. Bolted right on my 2020 Hustler Raptor SD 60". Highly recommended.

An acknowledged issue, the OEM brackets on these Hustler mowers are thin and begin to weaken and break after a few years of use. This allows the drive wheel/transaxle to slip forward and cause the drive belt to come off and/or break. This bracket replacement set fit perfectly. The brackets are almost twice as thick and come with all new screws, bolts and washers. My mower shop couldn’t praise these brackets enough. Highly recommend!

Fits perfectly Australian models.

This kit does not say it fit 52 inch limited edition. However, the thickness of the axle bracket is so much thicker than my original that I decided to attempt to make it fit for my 52 inch mower.New bracket are longer and would cause the hydro to be .45 to .5 ( measuring error?) inch lower!That means the drive pulley and the tensioner needs to drop .5 inch too. The whole pulley drive plane needs to drop with the hydros.To do that, I was going to use a lathe to cut the drive pulley and put the cut section on top or find some shims so that the PTO pulley plane would maintain the same.I did more research and found out that Hustler has another pulley 605675 that drop the plane exactly .438 inch!! I do not understand why Hustler did not use it on the 52 inch mower to make it the same!! So much fuss for the limited edition. It does not mean it’s better it means the buyer is more left out.But I was happy to order 605675 from Amazon.Then I made a spacer .5 inch. Change out the tensioner carriage bolt 3/8 by 3 inch long in order to lower the pulley rotating plane. To do that requires to remove the engine mounting bolts(4) to remove old tensioner bolt.After new drive pulley and tensioner and PTO are back in with new rotating plane established, I tentatively put back the damaged hydro junction plate and made some measurement. Since the cheaply made 52 in model junction plate was cracked, I was unable to get the two hydro’s to be parallel to each other. This is done by measuring the top and bottom edges of the hydro housing castings looking from the rear. If there’s a difference that explains why belt is thrown.Unfortunately, Hustler does not make a reinforced bracket for the 52 in limited model. So I still need to make my own reinforced brackets. I made two 1 inch diameter 9 inch long rods drilled and tapped for M10 bolts and weld to a 1/4 inch thick plate. I cut up the old plate ends as fixture for welding the rods.A strong junction plate is crucial because the lack of it will cause hydro to be out of parallel even with the stronger axel bracket in place!The simpler solution would be to buy the same replacement cheesy junction bracket and hope that the new stronger axel brackets will reduce the junction plate cracking. But from high stress it will probably loosen junction bolts or crack again.Dropping the drive pulley plane by .5 inch has a side benefit to have more hand clearance when replacing hydro belt. Before it was almost no clearance and belt replacement was very difficult.I don’t have anything good to say about the 52 in being left out in such important fix. Without stronger brackets and junction plate, the system is weak and the hydro can become out of parallel and that is when the drive belt keeps getting thrown and chewed up. My bitter personal experience.The result! I put the junction bracket on and the top and bottom parallel measures only different by 1/16 inches. Could have made the rods shorter. Start the engine and test run well. Hasn’t thow the belt like before yet!

No problem fits just right

Included bolts were nice to have. All parts were “beefier” than the originals. Was nice to have an entire set available.

The transmission mount on my mower broke, and the axle mount also managed to bend; so, I ordered these replacement plates. I was surprised that they are a thicker steel than the originals I replaced. I wasn’t going to replace every piece in this set before they break, but I am seriously considering it just for peace of mind. Glad I didn’t order from the original manufacturer of my mower.
