How to change front tire on zero turn mower


How to Fix a Front Flat Tire on a Cub Cadet Zero Turn Mower | Home Guides

By Mary Lougee

The front tires on a zero turn mower are caster wheels that swivel to enable the rear drive wheels to make sharp turns and speedily cut a lawn. Fixing a flat tire on your Cub Cadet mower means using one method for small holes under 1/16 inch or a second method for larger punctures.

Small Holes or Slow Leaks

  1. Pull out any object, such as a nail or screw, that made the puncture, if it is visible, with a pair of pliers.

  2. Remove the valve cap counterclockwise and set it aside. Unwind the hose of a can of aerosol tire inflator.

  3. Shake the can vigorously for about 30 seconds to activate the can contents. Press the end of the tire inflator hose onto the valve stem. Release the end and pull slightly back on the hose to make certain it is locked in place.

  4. Press the button on top of the can while holding it in an upright position until you no longer see the product traveling through the clear hose into the tire. Pull the locking collar back and remove it from the valve stem.

  5. Drive the lawn mower slowly for a few minutes to distribute the tire inflator, if the tire rim is off the ground. Otherwise, add air from an air compressor to inflate the tire to between 20 and 25 psi and then drive the mower to distribute the tire inflator. Replace the valve cap and tighten it clockwise.

Larger Holes

  1. Park the lawn mower on a flat hard surface, such as a driveway. Place a brick behind each of the rear wheels so they cannot move.

  2. Insert a jack under the axle near the flat tire and raise it so the tire is off the ground a few inches. Loosen and remove the lock nut on the flat tire's axle with an adjustable wrench. Pull the axle outward and the tire and two spacers will drop free.

  3. Apply a few squirts of dish detergent to a bucket, add water from a garden hose and swish the contents to make a soapy mixture.

  4. Place the flat tire in the bucket, turn it slowly and observe it for soap bubbles. Holes in the tire are evident when air leaks out of the tire. Mark each area with a paint marker.

  5. Insert the small tip of a rubber tire plug from a tire repair kit into the eye of the needle tool. Insert the needle with the plug into a marked hole until it has about two-thirds of its length inside the tire.

  6. Pull the needle tool straight out without turning or twisting it to deposit the plug in the hole. Trim off excess plug on the outside of the tire with scissors.

  7. Add air to the tire from an air compressor to between 20 and 25 psi. Replace the tire on the lawn mower with a spacer on each side and slide it onto the axle. Replace the locking nut on it and tighten it clockwise with an adjustable wrench. Release the jack to lower the lawn mower and remove the bricks from the rear tires.

Tips

  • Keep valve stem caps on tires tight to prevent slow leaks.
  • Remove debris and loose grass before mowing an area. Loose leaves and other objects reduce the traction from the rear tires.
  • Tire plug kits are available at automotive, home improvement and hardware stores.

Warnings

  • Mow across the face of slopes, rather than up and down them to prevent the mower from tipping over.

Maneenness,

9000 Excellent and well made device. Starts up the first time. Economical engine. A full tank is enough for a plot of 15 acres with a margin. Sufficiently capacious and conveniently removable soft grass collector. I sometimes rinse it with water after working on lush grass. Grass output is good. I recommend that after each mowing, connect the water and run self-cleaning for five minutes. All greens are well beaten off with water from the working area. I had only one knife. I sharpened it three times with a grinder. Mows ...

Advantages

Front independent wheel. Manufacturing quality.

Disadvantages

The height of the front wheel is adjusted using keys separately from the rear. This makes it difficult to change the cutting height frequently.

General impression

Very manoeuvrable lawnmower main advantage is the ability to turn on the spot, mow between trees and bushes; mow the flower beds. The maneuverability is outrageous. At first, the view seemed unusual compared to the usual models, but when you start mowing around bushes and trees, you realize that this is quite a reasonable design. In addition, there is a side discharge for mowing tall grass, but for effective tilting, the guide must be cut so that it does not look into the ground. New to me...

Oleg К. Both side discharge and collection into a container work well. Unfolds in place. Large rear wheels. Beautiful. Looks very good on site. It is really pleasant and comfortable to mow.

Disadvantages

The mower has a feature that it needs to be used on a good even lawn. In uneven areas, the side overhangs of the hull may touch the ground. No need to mow at level 1-2, this is actually below zero, it will cut the roots.

General impression

Really very manoeuvrable for flat areas, this is not as important as when mowing a lawn with trees and bushes planted on the plot, the quality of the grass cut is high, on a flat lawn when turning, the mower does not roll either to the left or to the right. There is no need to trim with a trimmer near landings, the mower can drive up close, since there is no front wheel sticking out to the side. The cutting height is not adjusted as quickly as on a conventional four-wheel drive, but it does not cause problems. For...

Easy to steer. Picks up grass well. The engine pulls well.

Disadvantages

Haven't found it yet, maybe the height needs to be added for mowing.

General impression

I compare it with Makita - reliable, proven over the years, but they killed it themselves on invisible stumps in the grass ((We decided to take this one, and did not regret it. Convenient, easy to drive, in turns, you can turn off the wheel turns. Starts easily By the way, you set the height on the front wheel once when assembling it for your site.Further, the height is adjusted as at all - quickly with a lever.It mows well even large grass, only it is not necessary to do a full grip.Our site is not even, finely bumpy, - it copes! Sometimes. ..

Rating:

Even a large area handles well. One and not two front wheels - this makes the machine extremely nimble for its size. The handle is foldable, folds back and is adjustable with clamps - a huge plus if family members have several heights and during conservation for the winter

Disadvantages

The front wheel, its supports, bend over bumps - quite flimsy for this engine and self-propelled rear wheels. The site is not ideal. You have to keep on two rear wheels very often. And straighten with a mount every time the children mowed.

General impression

Feeling of anxiety from the fact that there is no manual pump of gasoline into the carburetor. You have to change the candle more often, and not rely on tricks when starting on a cold one. For a mower, this is probably a plus, the engine will live longer, but for me it’s a minus.

Advantages

One of our biggest doubts when choosing a lawn mower was that we were afraid that it would not pass over our uneven area. But this mower turned out to be very passable. I mowed with her not only our lawn, but also the territory behind the fence - virgin land with mounds and distortions. Everything is fine. You just need to adjust the height of the wheels. The speed of mowing shocked me. What used to take 3 hours, I mowed in 30 minutes without straining at all. The self-propelled mower is a miracle! In general, the impressions are very good...

Disadvantages

Noisy. It feels like the neighbor's mower is much quieter. To adjust the height of the front wheel, you have to manually unscrew the front wheel. Uncomfortable. In addition, it immediately loosened up - you have to twist it. While I sin that he did not stretch the screws.

General impression

The handle is folded down, the grass container is removed and the mower becomes very compact. This turned out to be an important factor for us, because we simply had nowhere to put such a colossus in a disassembled state, and when folded, it easily fit into an empty place.

Pros

Self-propelled Large wheels Very easy to turn due to the piano front wheel Easy to fold handle (takes up less space) Extra knife included

We already wrote that there is a mistake in the description. The width of the bevel is not 50 cm, but along the length of the knife.

General impression

Before that it was not self-propelled, so for me it's like heaven and earth. I feel like I got it done twice as fast. Due to the front wheel, it turns with one hand with a very small radius. The large wheels make it easy to roll over bumps. The previous one (sterwins) served 5 years, although I performed bestial service. Gasoline from the container is not fresh poured, but until it runs out (usually calls for 2 seasons), 1 season worked without an air filter (lost). Then he found it, moistened it with gasoline and still on it for 3 se...

Advantages

My last mower worked faithfully for 18 years. Repair is not cost-effective, I bought this one. Feeling that moved from the basin to the Mercedes. It doesn’t even look like a Mercedes, but like a Ferrari. It’s not difficult to assemble, it starts up easily, a woman can handle it. Very comfortable handle with height adjustment. At first it seemed unusually long, but it is very pleasant to manage it. The front swivel wheel allows you to turn on the spot, with the locked goes like on rails. No need to push, just point and walk around. Engine power with a margin, he does not care for thick or rare grass. There is a side discharge, the grass catcher is of the optimal size.

Disadvantages

The height of the front wheel is set manually. It's good that this is done infrequently.

General impression

A mower for those who want to enjoy the process, not fight with grass and machinery. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages

We promised the store to write a review if our purchase meets our expectations. And so, last year we bought a self-propelled mower with a swivel front wheel. As the seller promised that it would be very easy to manage and mow it is a pleasure, it is. In our case, there are a lot of plantings on the plots and you need to go around a lot, so with a swivel wheel it is very convenient to mow around bushes and trees.

Disadvantages

Unfortunately or fortunately not.

General impression

We recommend this store to everyone.

Advantages

Maneuverability *100, mowing quality, versatility.

Disadvantages

Due to its length, it takes up more space in the garage.

General impression

I recommend to take it for a drive in the shop. It will be easier and clearer. At least watch the video on the Internet. For a plot with flower beds or trees, the most successful design. I was surprised that with almost one hand it turns out to control the mower like a machine.
