A few finish mower questions

   / A few finish mower questions #11  
Kevin, I like the look of that wheel...where did you find it? TSC had some nice rubber wheels that probably would be an upgrade but they were expensive at over $30 each.
I just did a quick search on google for "mower deck wheel" and looked at the results for the rounded ones. I don't recall how large the OEM PT wheels were, but I'd think you'd want to get a similar diameter to allow of the same amount of height adjustment. Probably doesn't need to be perfect. If you always mow at a certain height, you might be able to go a bit smaller and just move it down the bracket to make up for the size difference.

Might be able to find some cheap on ebay too. Lawn Mower Deck Wheels | eBay

I was at Boeing surplus and found a pair of casters for $5, made of aluminum with a tire of some kind of plastic. They were rated for 500lb each and have needle bearings with grease fittings. They have lasted very well.

I have gotten wheels from TSC. First the price is not great. Second the bearings do not seem to last long. Remember when you get things from TSC they are just like Kmart, Walmart, Lowes, Harbor Freight and Home Depot for some items. They buy stuff by the container from China and mark up as they see fit. You can buy the same stuff on the internet for less money sometimes.

Well, i was looking up the address on the interwebs and found this address....But also found this "Boeing Surplus Store to close"? I admit, i haven't been there in a few, used to go fairly often. So maybe online only? Maybe next time im going by Kent i might try to stop in and see if it's still open. It's probably the most amazing surplus store i've ever seen.
