Mule Drive Spacer
 

:Morning: While rebuilding my mule drive, I have seem to lost the spacer that goes with the idler adjuster on the mule drive for my 149. The PN: 545687-R1 is NLA. Could someone give the depth so I can machine one? Or maybe someone has an extra I can buy? Thank you for your time. :American Flag 1:

That spacer is no big deal. All you need is a bushing with an OD that will slip through the idler adjusting bracket that is slightly longer than the thickness of the bracket. It needs a 3/8" ID for the bolt that goes through the pulley.

:Morning: Thank you for your reply. Where did you find that breakdown? :American Flag 1:

It's from the 1A tiller manual

:Morning: Thank you, Mr. Sam Mac. I am pondering the idea of, eliminating the tension spring and going with adding the adjusting rod in place of the spring. Any thoughs on this idea? :American Flag 1:

That's how I have my tiller setup. No spring.

The pre 1968 mule drives I didn't use a spring anyway.....

:Morning: Having sold my tiller. The change from spring to adjusting rod will be used with my mowing deck. :American Flag 1:

:Morning: Did not know that. Thank you for the info. :American Flag 1:
