Craftsman 498144 Pulley Lawn Garden Equipment

Product Description

The CRAFTSMAN 498144 is a replacement pulley designed for use in Craftsman lawn and garden equipment. Pulleys in this category serve as critical drive-system components, redirecting and tensioning belts that transfer power from the engine to cutting decks, drive wheels, or auxiliary attachments.
