Snap-on height adjustment spacer clips for mower deck wheel spindles and the like

A spacer clip having a generally C-shaped, unitary body that includes:

• a pair of mutually opposed, resiliently spreadable arms;
• an integral connection between the arms at one end thereof, said arms being disconnected from one another and spaced apart at an opposite end of the arms to define an entry mouth;
• a first load-bearing surface on a top face of the body extending along the arms;
• a second load-bearing surface on a bottom face of the body extending along the arms;
• and
• a hole defined between said arms extending entirely through said body from said top face to said bottom face,
• said entry mouth communicating with said hole adjacent said opposite end of the arms to permit the clip to be installed on and removed from a shaft by spreading of the arms as the shaft moves into and out of the hole through the entry mouth,
• said clip further including a pair of mutually opposed, resiliently compressible knobs integral with and extending outwardly from said connection,
• said knobs operatively coupled with said arms so that when said knobs are compressed said arms spread.

A set of spacer clips including at least a pair of generally C-shaped, unitary bodies that include:

• a pair of mutually opposed, resiliently spreadable arms on each body;
• an integral connection on each body between the arms at one end thereof,
• said arms being disconnected from one another and spaced apart at an opposite end of the arms to define an entry mouth;
• a first load-bearing surface on a top face of each body extending along the arms;
• a second load-bearing surface on a bottom face of each body extending along the arms;
• and
• a hole in each body defined between said arms extending entirely through the body from said top face to said bottom face,
• said entry mouth communicating with said hole adjacent said opposite end of the arms to permit the clip to be installed on and removed from a shaft by spreading of the arms as the shaft moves into and out of the hole through the entry mouth,
• wherein the distance between said top face and said bottom face defines the thickness of each of said bodies, the thickness of one of said pair of bodies being different than the thickness of the other of said pair of bodies.
