Rear Finish Mower wheel spendles

[Slagiatt]

I've perchase two of the 72" finish mowers last fall one Woods,the other is a Bush Hog rear dishcharge. i consider both mowers to be well built brands, but both have bent spendles on their wheel mount's. most of the one's Ive look at seams to a common problem. Take's about a hour to strighten these wheel spendles good enough to reuse. And of corse like most metal once bent just get's easer to been the next hoe in the yard. must be a better way to trolly these mowers

Sorry to hear about the wheel spindles bending on you.

The only way to correct this issue is to add additional
wheels and spindles by pairing them up.

What type of bearings are they using if any?

Most finish mower wheel forks bend because the owners don't grease them. They can't caster freely, so the forks get trashed.
