Mower front wheel "axle" will not come out

@muncybob311 congratulations!

FWIW: purely personal opinion, once I see wear on a bolt in an axle, I usually replace bolts like that to try to keep damage to the spindle/wheel to a minimum, as bolts are much cheaper.

Those casters on my mower, at least the way I mow, seem to need grease every few hours, as there aren't really any seals to keep the grease in place. YMMV.

All the best,

Peter

Peter, +1 on the grease. They get a good dose every 5 hours of tractor use of which 75% of the time is mowing in spring/early summer. Also agree on bolt replacement, it's been bugging me and will likely get new ones this week.

Have fun putting them back in!
