Even with normal or light use, the wheels on your Cub Cadet lawn mower can become worn out and sometimes damaged. A less-than-ideal wheel will reduce your mower's traction and possibly the mower's alignment. Instructions for replacing your wheels may differ slightly depending on your model, so be sure to check your operator's manual for detailed instructions. For a general overview of how to replace a wheel on your Cub Cadet lawn mower, follow the easy instructions below.
- Be smart about your maintenance. First, make sure your engine has cooled down and disconnect the spark plug ignition wire. Make sure your height adjuster is at the highest level.
- Now it's time to remove the wheel. Use a socket wrench and unbolt the wheel. Remove it from the lawn mower.
- Next, lubricate the new wheel's bushings with a dry lubricant, like graphite.
- Now you can replace with the new wheel. Tighten the wheel nut and adjust its height to match the other three.
- You're almost finished! Reconnect the spark plug ignition wire. When you run your mower for the first time after wheel replacement, be extra aware for any strange vibrations or wobbling. If you experience this, the lawn mower wheel assembly may not have been properly replaced.
