Left front wheel keeps falling off my toro lawn mower
I have a 22" Toro Recycler Lawn Mower with front wheel drive. After many years the original tires wore out, primarily the left front.
After I replaced the wheels the front wheels kept falling off. I learned that Toro uses an unusual two layer washer on the front wheels. You need a) either an exact replacement for this washer OR b) two separate washers. The hole of the washer is 3/8" Everbilt has the smaller flat washer PN 637-009 and the larger washer can be found in the Everbilt PN 281-293. The SMALLER washer must be placed closer to the frame, the larger washer is closer to the wheel. Once this was done it ran perfectly.
Later I found pieces of the original washers in the grass. Toro had the replacement washer available on their website, I was just in a hurry to get the mower back up and running. The Everbilt washers were purchased at Home Depot.
