To all PowerKing owners: I purchased a Powerking with 48" belly mower in 1979. It (along with Hunter Ceiling Fans in 1979), has been one of the best purchases I have made in my life. I have rebuilt it when there were parts available ,installed a new engine, clutch, pressure plate throwout bearing etc. etc. and now of late take my worn out part to a machine shop and have the part built for less than Yazoo Kees wants for a new part. New parts are available as of 7/13/99 at 1-800-262-1191 (ask for Bill), That's the Yazoo Kees Powerking home office where they have parts for the "King" but you can't buy them unless you are a dealer. I contacted a local dealer in Tampa at 813-626-0069 and ordered the parts that Paul said were available at the main office. The official Powerking parts of 3 mower deck spindles and 3 pulleys came to around $390.00. I went to a local "small" machine shop and he is building all of the above "new" for $100.00! Obviously I cancelled the order for the official parts. At this rate there's no telling when this machine will ever be worn out. You can do it too!
