No we just talked about mower tires going flat and how sometimes the wheels pins come off causing wheels to be run over. (Those issues were discussed on the forum, I don't have my F2690 yet)
I recommend everyone without a perfectly flat "lawn" replace those pins with hardened steel bolts. I had several "issues" with the OEM pins breaking and the wheels falling off and being ran over and didn't figure out what was happening for awhile. Ditches were/are rough on those front wheels. I took my pin to a local industrial supply business and told them I needed two bolts and nuts of that size. Years ago and never had another problem with the wheels falling off.
The rims on the front wheels on the F deck comes apart in two halves by removing the four bolts holding them together which allows for easy removal/install of new tires. Something else it took me a while to figure out.:ashamed:
