Purchased this to replace a guide pulley kzfaq.infoUgkxO9seYZjlnuP5UvMkb7osQW3WxPVeSnPk on our John Deere x304 snowblower. As I stated in the title, it is just about perfect. The stock pulley has a spacer at the bottom. I used four washers to emulate said spacer, and it works perfectly now. Great product, and great price especially if compared to typical JD prices.

Cool swap. On my mower, there's a belt retainer round bar near each side of the 3.5" engine drive pulley that will have to be removed so a 5.5" pulley will fit. Did you modify and replace these belt retainer bars, or just run without them? I'm wondering how necessary they are or if I'll be dropping a belt without them...
