(OT) Cheap plastic lawnmower wheels

cuhulin · 2010-07-24T15:18:49+00:00

My little walk behind lawnmower has gotten almost impossible to push because the plastic wheels are worn out, they don't last long.One of the wheels is rubbing against the frame, another one is rubbing against the push bar, the other two wheels are almost as bad.A new set of wheels would cost about thirty dollars, or is almost one third the price of a new lawnmower similar to I might as well buy a new lawnmower. cuhulin

Sadly, the 2-cycle Sears mower that I rescued from the side of the road

25 years ago seems now to have a broken rod. I bought the cheapest mower I could find with a Honda engine and a cast frame to replace it.

That's the exact kind I got. So far, so good on my mower. They will at least outlast the ENGINE on your mower.

I had to go back to Lowe's again, for some flat washers, 1/2 inch center hole, for spacers for the new wheels.Because the hubs on the new wheels aren't as thick as the hubs on the old worn out plastic wheels.Five flat washers for each wheel fixed it up.Those new ball bearings wheels make a big difference. cuhulin
