Bought a used TM6 finish Bush Hog mower at auction last weekend. Needed one sheve for the top of a spindle. The 3 inch pulley with a 1 inch hole is only 80 dollars. The spindle needing the top is new and came with the mower. A new spindle is over 600 dollars. The mower would take 3 if they were all in need of replacement. (over 1800 dollars plus shipping) I will fix it with something more in the 20 dollar range plus a gallon of paint. Bush Hog sure asks a bunch for outdated parts.
