This is the front wheel assembly that is used by a large number of manufactures as the standard wheel for push mowers. This wheel is a tough, black rubber wheel fitted onto a sturdy white chassis. Since it is not a pneumatic wheel, there is no concern that it will roll over hidden debris and be damaged. Push wheels such as these often last the lifetime of a Lawn Mower. However, there are occasions when the housing of the mower is dropped and the wheel becomes warped or broken. It's also the case that, with constant use, the wheels can lose tread, making them harder to maneuver in tough mowing conditions. It has also been reported that the tires will wear and become smaller in circumference over time, meaning it will require more gasoline to mow the same amount of yard. The front wheels are easily replaced. After removing the plug cap and stabilizing the mower, simply use a socket wrench to remove the center bolt from the wheel. It's a good idea to use a dry lubricant like graphite on the axle before replacing it. This OEM guaranteed replacement part is compatible with Ryobi, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Husky, Yard-Man, and MTD push mowers.

This ball bearing assembly has a wide variety of uses in a number of gasoline-powered yard tools. Bearings are used to provide smooth, friction-free motion between the rotating parts of equipment where pieces fit together and move. The weight and momentum of the rotating motion are distributed to the ball bearings, which prevents wear on the equipment and allows smooth, repetitive motion. Ball bearings are used in equipment such as tillers and lawn tractors, as well as other power equipment that is self-propelled. The bearings will wear out over time since they are on the receiving end of all the angular momentum of the equipment being used. One of the chief locations where bearing assemblies need to be replaced are the drive wheels of the riding mowers and lawn tractors. The bearings are located in brass housings specifically machined to hold them. Since it can be difficult to remove the old ball bearing assemblies from these housings, it is worth considering simply replacing the entire housing as well as the bearing. These bearings are genuine OEM manufactured replacement parts. They are compatible with MTD, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Husky, Cub Cadet, and Yard Machine lawn tools.
