Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Product Overview

A mower that hesitates, will not move, changes speed unevenly, or has a pedal that produces little response may have a seized or worn secondary variator. Drive-belt wear, tension springs, idlers, transaxle damage, and linkage adjustment can cause the same symptoms.

The variable pulley changes effective belt diameter while maintaining belt tension so the mechanical drive can provide smooth speed response. It is part of the transmission belt system, not the complete transaxle.

Match MIA12482, sheave size, hub and bearing layout, belt widths, spring and fastener arrangement, mower model, serial number, and the transmission parts diagram.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this fix a D105 that will not move? A: It can if the secondary variator is seized or worn, but belts, linkage, springs, and the transaxle also need inspection.

Q: Is this the complete transmission? A: No. It is the secondary variator pulley kit within the belt-drive system.

Q: Will it fit an E110? A: This listing covers models using MIA12482; do not assume other E-series fitment.

Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
