Hustler OEM 114105 Deck Idler Guide Slide

 

The Hustler 114105 Deck Idler Guide Slide serves as the guide, tensioner and mount for the Idler Pulley and Secondary OR Upper Mower Deck Belt on your Mower’s Cutting Deck. Its purpose is to maintain correct belt tension and allow smooth idler movement as the Deck Belt Cycles through Operation. Proper belt tension prevents slippage, reduces wear on Pulleys and Belts, and Preserves cutting quality. This slide works with the Mower Deck Idler Spring and Pulley assembly allowing movement which enables load and tension forgiveness and ensure long, trouble-free life of the drive belt system.
