Deck Path Split Note
The LT1050 keeps the same 917-04174 PTO clutch path, but the deck belt changes by year path. The 2007-and-before 918-04126A spindle deck path uses the 954-04077A belt. The 2008-and-after deck path uses the 954-04164 belt.
Some 2007-and-before LT1050 decks also show an alternate 918-04129A spindle deck path with a different blade path. Use the 918-04129 spindle assembly only when your deck is confirmed as the 918-04129A spindle deck path. Add the matching 759-04047 / 742-04068C blade product first before routing that alternate blade path from this guide.
