Murray Lawn Mower Axle, Roller, Shaft, Wheel

This is a replacement lawn mower wheel that can be used with select walk-behind lawn mowers. The lawn mower wheel helps keep the deck off of the ground and provide an easy way to maneuver the machine. Wheels are made of durable plastic, but they can wear or become dented or otherwise damaged from impacts with rocks and stumps, or even just with regular use. A broken, crooked, or otherwise damaged wheel is going to affect the ability to maneuver the mower. In some cases, it may prevent operation completely. Replacing the wheel with a genuine part like this will resolve the issue. This OEM lawn mower wheel is manufactured by MTD. It can be used with lawn mowers from MTD, Craftsman, Huskee, Yard Machines, and Yard Man. The wheel is made of durable plastic and attaches to the axle on the lawn mower. This unit is just the wheel and the hardware required to secure it will be sold separately. Those who need multiple wheels will have to purchase additional quantities. Always be sure to disconnect the spark plug before working on the deck of the lawn mower and wear gloves for hand safety.

To hold the wheels in place and keep them at the proper height, lawn mowers require front and rear axles. This axle is a Craftsman part that will be compatible with virtually all mowers that use Craftsman's specifications. While the axle is durable, it's also the case that the most common problem with lawn mowers is encountering obstacles and barriers while mowing. Not only are blades and flywheels damaged, but it is often the case that axles are bent or broken so the mower cannot be pushed or the wheels cannot be made level. In such cases, it's necessary to replace the damaged axle. Replacing the axle is a matter of removing the wheels with a socket wrench and a 9/16 socket and setting the mower on its side. Make sure to place the air filter on top rather than on the bottom. Use a flathead screwdriver to force back the retaining tabs and remove the axle. When installing the new axle, make certain that the adjustment bar is placed on the right side of the axle housing. Reverse the removal process to reassemble. This replacement axle is a certified OEM replacement part that exactly matches the specifications of the original. This axle is compatible with mowers offered by Yard Man, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and MTD.
