I need to replace one of the spindle assemblies on a Craftsman LT2500 (247 series rider so an MTD). It has been a good mower. The spindle arrived today. It is a Cub Cadet (reboxed MTD) spindle.
Question is the four bolt holes in the spindle do not come threaded. Should I use the self tapping bolts to cut the threads prior to installing or just do it as I install it in the deck? Any secrets to do it correctly and not break the bolts or the spindle? New assembly came with new bolts.
Thanks
