The Rear Roll Sleeve – MBF1693 is a genuine Ransomes / Jacobsen mower deck component designed to support the rear roller assembly on compatible reel or cylinder-style turf mowers. In these machines, the rear roller helps stabilise the mower deck, support smooth forward movement, and assist in producing a uniform striping effect on the turf. The sleeve acts as a wear-resistant bushing/spacer between the roller shaft and the surrounding assembly, helping maintain correct alignment, reduce friction, and extend the life of the roller components.
