Fourtry 194327 Flat Idler Pulley for Craftsman Riding Mower – 42-inch/54-inch Decks, Fits Husqvarna & Poulan (532194327)

Premium, ready-to-install idler for smoother mowing

The Fourtry 194327 flat idler pulley is designed to sit in line with your riding mower's belt, applying just the right tension to keep the belt turning and reduce slippage during operation. Made from durable hard plastic and featuring bearings that are pre-greased, this part is built to withstand regular mowing sessions and the heat of the driveway.

Compatibility spans a broad range of models, including Husqvarna ride-on mowers (such as 2042 LS, 2246 LS, 2348 LS, GTH 2448, GTH2654, and more) as well as Poulan lawn tractors (PB20H42YT, PB22H46Y, PB195H42LT, PB2042YT, PBGT26H54, PB23H48YT), and Craftsman models with 42-inch or 54-inch decks (for example 917287220, 917287140, 917287240, and more). If you own a 42-inch or 54-inch deck, this idler is intended as a straightforward replacement that aligns with the footprint and bearing grease already present in many OEM configurations.

Why consider this part? It aligns the belt to minimize wobble, supports consistent belt tracking, and offers a practical option when replacing worn components. The design relies on a sturdy hard plastic body, with bearings that are pre-greased for immediate use after installation. The part also corresponds to common OEM numbers: 280-6630 and 532194327, making cross-reference quick and simple for matching parts in the field.
