These are good pulleys which will do the job replacing the Greenfield GT6901 idlers. They run very smooth which is a plus, reducing deck vibrations. However it should be noted that these pulleys contain 6203 size bearings while the originals contained 6204 size bearings (the inner diameter is the same in practice as these have their own adapters to fit the same mounting bolt). This isn't really a problem - 6203 bearings should still take any sort of loads the pulleys might see in this application - but might not last quite as well as larger size bearings.
