Almost exact replacement if not for spindle nut
Everything was an exact OEM replacement for my 2009 Cub Cadet RZT50. The spindles come with a grease fitting to lubricate the shaft bearings. Problem was, I one of the spindle shaft threads had been cut too small. Specifically, the factory blade nut, which fit the other two, would slide right over the threads.After closer inspection, I could see the thread die used was the wrong size diameter and cut too thin. Sent an email to the seller, provided a picture and they sent out a replacement spindle assembly with expedited shipping. Other than that, it was pretty simple task and exact parts.**UPDATE** 6/24/21Mowed the grass for the third time this year, since we are having a drought in Florida, and the spindle bearing said goodbye. Squeeling and screaming, sounded like a bearing went out. Kind of disappointed seeing as how the originals went from 2009 and these a year. Just an FYI for you to thank about.

You'll find good tough industrial belts for low cost
Make sure you're ordering for your model of mower, otherwise the belt is a throw away item.... Do yourself a favor anyway and search the web for kevlar v-belt in the length you need or 1" shorter. You'll find good tough industrial belts for low cost, then buy two. The parts in this kit are good quality.

Not all parts included
The idler pulleys were not delivered with the rest of the hardware. I contacted the seller and their solution was for me to return everything I did receive, wait for them to receive the parts, and a new kit would then be shipped to me. Not to mention they only supplied me with an address to return the parts to, so shipping costs would be at my expense. I simply asked for pulley’s to be shipped to me or partial refund and they denied my request.Regarding quality, the spindles are below average at best. One of the grease zerk’s stripped out right away for one of the spindles when I tried to grease the spindles and I JB welded back in.If I had the time to deal with this situation, I would have returned everything and told them to keep it. I hope what hardware I do have lasts.

No blade nuts included.
It would be nice if this kit included the flanged nuts FOR THE BLADES like all the other kits online for the exact same price. I overlooked it and now I still cant mow my yard because of a stripped nut. I wouldn't call this a "kit" unless it was complete. Nobody around has the nut in stock either so I have to order one and wait. Pretty freaking inconvenient...

Poor quality spindles and belt
Opened the packaged and the grease fittings in the 3 spindles literally fell out of the casting. Tried to reinstall them, but they were loose in the drilled/tapped hole where they were installed. Drive belt was removed and inspected after 1 month of operation and found 2 places where the belt is splitting at glued 45 degree joints. Pulleys and blades have had no concerns, but I can't get over the inability to grease the spindles. Going to greatly accelerate the aging process. Already looking for a backup plan once the spindles and belt go out.

The spindles are very good quality.Grease fittings on these are a huge plus for me.They spin so quiet you barley hear the deck running.idle pulleys are also really well made.Oregon blades and raptor belt.Can’t go wrong with this setup.Thanks for the great deal!

Not worth the hassle!!
Was excited to get this kit but as we began to put the parts together on the deck one of the pulleys had a bump on the inside had to file down to make it work the greasers on the blades spindles don’t want to accept the grease have had noting but problems!!

Half of the parts arrived
only two pulleys were in the box. no bolts, and no belt. I needed to get my mower running so I used what came in the box, but had to use old stuff. Do not buy...
