Exactly what I wanted and needed to repair my John Deere L110 mower, I bought a 8.0 mm x 1.25 mm thread tap and pre-threaded the spindles, also bought the reinforcing rings for the mounting of the spindles to the mower housing. The reinforcing rings came with the bolts needed. But if you do not buy the ring, the John Deere part number for the self tapping bolts is: GX22456. Although the spindles have a zerk, I had to pump a lot of grease in the spindles before they were full. Bought a new mower belt, blades and once it was all back together I couldn't believe the difference. The machine runs a heck of a lot better.... SUGGESTION: Shop and buy the complete kit of spindles, belt, blades, and stuff cause after I bought what I wanted I ended up paying more than the kits that are available. Like on Amazon I seen a kit for $99, and it had all that I bought, but had replacement belt housings and it came with new bolts for everything. But don't get me wrong, this was a good purchase, I am elated with what I purchased,

I replaced both original spindles on my John Deere L111 with these Stens and they fit fine. I was able to use the old tapered bolts to retap the new spindles to attach them to the mower deck. I did buy the John Deere Spindle Bolts by Grainger just in case but the replacement bolts were longer than the original ones and also not tapered so not sure the replacement bolts would have worked. I was able to put grease through the Zerk fittings on both spindles once I got the grease coupler to stay on. I did notice that one spindle had some play up and down but after attaching the spindle to the mower deck and putting on the mower blade, tightening down on the pulley took out the up/down play.

Exactly what I ordered. These seem to be well made and heavy duty spindles. They seem like they are better quality than the OEM's, time will tell. I got 8+ years out of my OEM's for my L110 John Deere lawn mower. To tap the holes, i just went to my local john deere supplier and got 8 brand new OEM self taping screws. 6 of 8 old screws came off ok, but 2 broke off. Much better to get new ones. They were $2 each, so it cost be $16. Probably cheaper to go to ACE hardware, but I know these will work without a worry. I then preceded to put anti-seize on each screw before i started. I put the spindle in my vice(make sure you have them right side up!!), and used a 10mm socket to slowly tap(screw in). I went down about 3/4 of the way then backed them out. Just make sure when you start, they go in straight. I then took the spindles out of my vice and put them on my mower deck and screwed them in tight, but not to tight... worked great. The other thing i did to my mower deck was buy new brake pads/springs/spacer etc at the dealer, mine had almost totally failed after all these years, actually, one spindle brake pad was missing! Hope this helps.

I have one of the piece of junk Deere L100 mowers sold by a big box hardware store. These are better than the originals that came with the crappy deck on the L100, and are as good as the ones you buy as replacements from Deere directly.Two things to note about these replacements --NOTE 1: After reading the reviews of this replacement part, my only concern was that people had commented on the spindle not being threaded for putting in the bolts to hold it to the deck. I have no problem using a tap and threading for a bolt, and was only mildly concerned about having to make a template first to make sure I drilled the holes for the threads in the right place. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THIS -- While it isn't threaded, the bolt holes are already drilled in the right place. If you get the self-tapping screws from this vendor or from Deere, they'll go right in and do the job just fine. Alternately, you can use a tap and die set and put the threads in yourself in just a minute or two. The body of these spindles is, just like the original, made of some kind of soft pot-metal alloy or aluminium or something and they thread very easily (in fact you should be careful not to strip them out when you tighten down the bolts).NOTE 2: Unlike the original crap that came on my Deere L100, these spindles DO have the grease gun fittings installed. There are actually two kinds of bearing on these spindles. The one at the top of the shaft is a sealed bearing, but the one near the bottom of the shaft is actually loose ball bearings with the race formed out of the inside shape of the spindle casing itself. A spacer runs between the two. YOU MUST USE A GREASE GUN AND FILL THESE WITH GREASE if you want them to last at all. You should do this regularly as well. The originals didn't have the grease gun fitting and that's just one of the things that made this deck such a piece of junk.
