No dislikes. Part fit perfectly—fast shipment. Perfect condition. One word of advice. I ripped the heads off 10 of the 12 bolts on my old ones. A common problem when two dissimilar metals are attached. It will not happen again as I used an anti-seize compound on the bolts. I also ordered the blade shafts. They fit OK, but they did not have the zirk fittings. That means you have no way to grease the shaft. The bearings are sealed, and when they go, they go for good.

Would still recommend this product! Still working without issues after 8 years of use!
This is a great alternative to replacing the whole item. I have had these break more then once, due to the very rocky and uneven ground I have to mow. I usually replace the whole piece but I have noticed that the bearing are never worn out when I do. So this time I tried getting just the outside mounting piece and it worked great. It's easy to knock out the old bearings and replace them into the new housing. Then just pump in new grease and you're ready to go, and in the process you save yourself a lot of money.

The perfect replacement part for my Husqvarna mower/tractor. Hit an oak root hidden in tall grass and stopped my blades dead. The mandrel sheared as designed and this replacement part fit perfectly and has held up as well.

Don't listen to the whiners, these are good mandrels. I live out here in the land of rocks and mandrels need to be replaced, its called maintenance. Compared to the OEM Sears part this is a steal and you don't have to wait two weeks to get them. Give these a shot you will not be disappointed. Of course you could pay twice as much for the OEM and then you would have something to cry about when they break.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality, just like the original
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2012

I just replaced the third mandrel in two months on my Husqvarna mower today. Though the mower is of reasonable quality overall, certain components, like the mandrels, are pure junk.

I don't live in suburbia, so I have more to contend with than Bermuda grass, but there is nothing that my $100 push mower can't handle. So, why then, should an almost $2000 mower break when it encounters Johnson grass or water weed?

Frankly, the mandrels are poorly designed considering the pot metal from which they are cast. The mounting 'ears' are thin, the gusseting inadequate and the mounting holes lack any reinforcement to capture the skinny bolts that attach the mandrel to the cutting deck.

If for no other reason than the mandrels, I can confidently say my next mower will be a John Deere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and cheap way to get back up and running.

Perfect replacement for my Sears 46" , two blade riding mower. The parts interchange pretty easily. Just drift out the old bearings with a large wood dowel and drift them into the new spindle the same way or with a wood block. Quick delivery got me back up and mowing before the grass got out of control. When you purchase your bolts don't buy bolts from Sears. Less than 1/4 price on Amazon.
