    Scag mulch kit for 48" Velocity deck

    Hi troops, I am very pleased with the performance of this mulching kit! Mowing taller grass is slower allowing the clippings to get chopped up and not leaving rows, but this is an impressive setup. I had considered a mulching kit years ago when I was mowing 3-4 days a week and also had...

    Scag Tiger Cub throwing the deck drive V belt

    The drive v belt tensioner has the same bearings in it, I'm going to replace them and the drive v belt soon. I had replaced the pulleys a while back when I did the 2nd drive V belt change.

    Scag Tiger Cub throwing the deck drive V belt

    Hi Folks, My 2008 Scag Tiger Cub with a V48 deck started throwing the deck drive V belt. I put the belt back around the tensioner pulley only to have it come off again in about an hour.

    Oregon 82-325 Cast Iron Spindle replacement for Scag 46631

    The bearings are not sealed, but the spindle shaft has a seal top and bottom. The bearings (2) are tapered roller bearings with a cup and cone facing each other on the spindle shaft. Grease the Oregon replacement spindle the same as a Scag OEM spindle which is the same as their response.
