LawnFlite-Pro Bevel Gear - 78001-162

Original MTD 78001-162 — Bevel gear: a direct-replacement gear for the gearbox assembly used on a range of ride-on and walk-behind mowers. This precision replacement restores the angled-drive connection inside the gear case so the transmission turns smoothly and quietly again.

Fits gearbox applications such as Danarm/Kaaz LM5360HXA and shows up in parts assemblies for Lawnflite‑Pro 553HWS (2005) and comparable Hustler/Shanks machines that use the same gearcase configuration — a good choice when that internal bevel gear is worn or damaged.

Supplied as a single, ready-to-install unit, this original MTD 78001-162 is listed among MTD spare parts for compatible gearboxes and is a straightforward swap to get your machine back to service without replacing the whole gearcase. For routine repairs and maintenance this is one of the essential power tool parts to keep on hand if you’re servicing Danarm/Kaaz‑based or MTD‑branded gearboxes.
