Description

The Murray 7018574SM Lawn Tractor Idler Pulley is an essential part that ensures that the belt tension of the mower’s drive system is well-regulated. It is an essential component to direct and stretch the drive belt to maintain proper transmission of power from the engine to the cutting deck. This tension is precise enough to avoid slippage of the belt and thereby enhance the cutting process. Some of the advantages include that this will reduce belt damage and also make the operation run more smoothly.
