First grass cut of the season was delayed by an idler pulley bearing failure; so today I'm installing two new idler pulleys on a 42" cutting deck from a 2001 Craftsman LT1000. - Clay.
Shoot a video and upload it to your CZcams channel. Maybe it will help someone else. And consider lubricating whatever deck bearings you don't replace. They're "sealed for life", but if you lube them, they will live a lot longer. Check out this video from sixtyfiveford: czcams.com/video/9TXwfr1ydoU/video.html
So the offset one goes on the tensioner side? I got a rebuild kit and something isn't right with mine. I may have to switch the pulleys cause I matched then up but the offset one was on the idler side
I only replaced a bad part. I can't vouch for the set-up. I CAN say it has worked fine since I did the repair. I don't have another mower to compare it to. Good luck! Clay.
Getting ready to do this job on my lt2000 ,thank you amd godspeed

Great video!
Thanks! An easy and inexpensive repair (around 40 bucks). The rumble in the deck is gone and it cuts great. - Clay
Pull towards you not away from you. Easy way to do it
Sage advice! Pushin' on a ratchet is a bad move ... and I charge $10.00 extra for each skinned knuckle :^) - Clay.
Astha que me explicaron bien gracias

My little belt keeper keeps moving and catching the belt, eating it up. Dont know and cant find torque specs so far on these nuts
