Ariens 00169600  Sheave, 4.00 Dia for 48", 52" Deck

The purpose of the Pulley or Sheave is to ensure smooth movement of the belts within your equipment or engine. Symptoms of a bad or failing pulley could include squealing during operations and sluggish or slipping belts. If you find damage to a pulley, like metal burrs or dents, also inspect the associated shaft and bearing for similar signs of impact or abrasion. When you replace a pulley, strongly consider replacing the associated belt so that you get the maximum performance improvement.
