Subject: Rear Axle Bracket Kit
Dealer Action: Order kit and install as necessary
Ariens Company has received some reports of the rear axle digging into the ground during use of the units
listed below. This issue tends to be more frequent when cutting in mid-range height of cut and through
uneven terrain. To correct the problem, Rear Axle Bracket Kits (part numbers 51119000, 51119100 and
51119300) have been developed. These kits add clearance to the rear axle weldment and help prevent it
from making contact with the ground.
Please pay special attention to the serial number on an affected unit because it determines which kit
needs to be installed on that mower. Refer to the tables below to identify the correct kit.
Standard warranty applies. Dealers will be reimbursed 1.25 hours at their standard shop labor rate for
each machine repaired.
For additional information, please contact Ariens Technical Service at 920-756-4688.
