This wheel measures 8 inches in outside diameter with a 1.75-inch tread width and a 1/2-inch center bore—matching common front-wheel specifications.

How do I install the replacement wheel on my mower?

Installation is straightforward for most walk-behind mowers: remove the axle pin or clip, slide off the old wheel, align the wheel bore with the axle, and secure it with the original pin or fastener. If your mower used washers or spacers, reuse them in the same order. No special tools are generally required beyond pliers or a screwdriver to remove retaining hardware.

• Tools commonly needed: pliers and screwdriver
• Keep original axle pin, clip, washers, and spacers
• Slide wheel onto axle bore and refasten securely
• Test wheel rotation before mowing

What should I expect in terms of durability and performance?

The wheel is manufactured to OEM-size tolerances to restore the mower's front-end handling and maintain cutting height consistency. Performance depends on terrain and maintenance—regular cleaning of debris and avoiding extended exposure to UV or harsh chemicals will prolong service life. It’s intended for general lawn use, not as a heavy industrial caster.

• OEM-sized for consistent cutting height and steering
• Suitable for typical residential mowing conditions
• Prolong life by cleaning and avoiding harsh solvents
• Not intended for extreme-load industrial applications
