I have a 38" Deck Poulan. The model is PXT12538. The bracket that the nose roller brackets mount to will not accept them because of a tab on the nose roller brackets. This tab, according to the instructions, should fit into a slot that is not present on the mower deck brackets. The hole that the single bolt that holds each bracket in place is there and does position the nose roller in the perfect location. I put a cut-off wheel on my dremel tool and cut the tab off of the nose roller brackets. Without this tab you have to position the height of the nose roller manually and tighten the brackets in place. Without this tab you will have to periodically check the adjustment of the nose roller to make sure it hasn't moved. I don't expect that it will move much if at all because of how tight I torqued it down and the fact that the hardware included lock-nuts which was nice. There are fancy cotter pins that hold the bars that stabilize the front of the deck in the brackets on the front of the deck. I removed these cotter pins and installed the nose roller brackets with the nut on the inside of the brackets. Having the bolt head instead of the nut on the outside of the bracket allowed me to reinsert the factory cotter pins. They went in differently than they were originally but cotter pins work either way, the direction they face doesn't matter. After the install I lowered my mower deck to its lowest setting and drove around my yard in the places that my deck would get caught to test the nose roller. It worked perfectly. My mower drove smoothly over the areas of my lawn where tree roots surfaced and didn't seem to mind it one bit. Before the nose roller was installed the roots would catch the deck and bring the mower to dead stop every time. If you have a little 'handyman' in you then it should be no problem for you to install.

Was having trouble scalping my yard using my Craftsman riding mower. Saw the neighbor using one and thought I would try it out. Solved my problems and would reccommend this to anyone having similar problems. Works great!
