Diameter, bore, and whether the bearing is a bearing

Replacement mower wheels, compared

Mower wheels break in two ways: the plastic hub splits where the axle passes through it, or the bush wears until the wheel wobbles and the cut goes uneven on one side. Either way the machine is otherwise fine, and this shelf is the cheapest repair on the site. Three numbers decide the fit and all three are usually published. The diameter — 175, 200 mm and similar on these listings — sets the ride height and therefore the cutting height, so replacing one wheel with a different size tilts the deck. The bore is the axle hole, quoted in millimetres to one decimal place on the careful listings (12,7 mm is the imperial half-inch that half this market uses), and it is the dimension that decides whether the wheel goes on at all. Several sellers supply reducing sleeves so that one wheel serves several bores, which is a genuinely useful idea and a warning sign at the same time: a sleeved wheel on a driven axle has more to work loose. The bearing is what separates a wheel that lasts from one that does not. A plain plastic bush is quiet and wears; a ball bearing rolls freely and survives grit. The fits column names machines — Honda, SABO, John Deere, universal patterns with adapters — and the pack matters because wheels wear in pairs on the driven axle and replacing one of two leaves a machine that pulls to one side. We compare diameter, bore, bearing, material, fits and pack.
