Was working on a 2004 X2001 Dixie Chopper replacing the belts at owners request. These old mowers never cease to amaze me. This mower had the original Idlers on it. I run into this a lot. The quality of the parts used on these old mowers. The idlers on the new ones are not of this quality. Not that they aren't good built mowers they are. Still as good and better than most anything on the market today.
