Flat Idler Pulley, 5-1/4"X5/8"

Flat Idler Pulley, 5-1/4"X5/8"

The 280-241 Flat Idler Pulley is a heavy-duty 5-1/4" metal flat idler designed to keep belt systems running smoothly on John Deere equipment, including X300 Series models. Built by an OEM supplier, it’s a direct replacement for AM135526—just note it does not include the outer bushing, because apparently the universe demands at least one extra step.
