Husqvarna 597087101 Idler Pulley 6.75 in 2 Pack

Product Description

The HUSQVARNA 597087101 is an OEM idler pulley designed to maintain proper tension on the drive belt in lawn mowers and outdoor power equipment. Measuring 6.75 inches in diameter, this pulley keeps the cutting deck belt engaged and tracking correctly during operation. It prevents belt slippage and reduces wear on surrounding drivetrain components. Sold as a 2-pack, this listing provides a direct replacement set suitable for planned maintenance or keeping a spare on hand. Licensed HVAC and outdoor power equipment technicians recognize consistent belt tension as critical to deck performance and overall equipment longevity.

This idler pulley is used in residential and light-commercial lawn mowing applications where a drive belt routes through a tensioning system on the cutting deck. The pulley mounts inline with the belt path and applies consistent lateral or rotational force to keep slack out of the system. Equipment showing symptoms of belt jumping, squealing, or premature belt wear is a common indicator that the idler pulley requires inspection or replacement. Two pulleys are included per order, making this a practical choice for servicing multiple units or stocking a replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by small engine or outdoor power equipment technicians. Before servicing, disconnect the spark plug wire and engage the parking brake to prevent accidental startup. Remove belt tension and note the original routing before removing the old pulley.
