This step-by-step riding mower repair guide shows how to replace the rear tire on your lawn tractor or riding lawn mower if the tire is too damaged to repair. Installing a new rear tire is relatively easy and requires just a few tools and a manufacturer-approved lawn mower part.
Use this repair guide and video to replace the rear tire on Craftsman, MTD, Husqvarna, Murray, Troybilt, Toro, Snapper, Yard-Man, Weed Eater, Ariens, John Deer and Southern States lawn tractors and riding lawn mowers.

Garden tools, depending on the model, are equipped with a 2-stroke or 4-stroke gasoline engine.
The former are usually used for domestic purposes, while the latter, due to their greater power, belong to the class of professional equipment. The mowing height is self-adjusting, and if you need to uproot unwanted weeds, then the cutting nylon line or circular knife is fixed at the very surface of the earth.
Models with a curved bar are used for leveling grass, with a straight bar for cutting small shrubs up to 15 mm thick. and work on hills and ledges, as they have a high transfer momentum. If necessary, the tool can be equipped with a pole cutter, a cultivator, a blower, a nozzle - scissors for leveling a hedge.
In the service center "Northern Arrows" we accept repair of Husqvarna 122c, 125r, 128p and other models from this manufacturer in in St. Petersburg. We carry out works of all categories of complexity. In addition, we serve Husqvarna 325 brushcutters - repair is carried out only by us.
Do you want repair of Husqvarna 128 r brushcutters and other models not to become a force majeure event requiring unforeseen and significant financial costs? Then do not forget about the preventive maintenance of the tool.
The manufacturer recommends changing the fuel before each day of operation, or 8 hours of continuous operation. Check the condition of the spark plugs, fuel and air filters daily. Monthly, or every 50 hours of operation, check the presence of sufficient lubrication in the carburetor, constantly clean it of dirt and grass particles.
To prepare the tool for winter storage, use the starter to move the piston to dead center. Remove the spark plug and pour 20 grams of engine oil into the hole. Remove the engine and trimmer from the housing and wrap it in a rag so that condensation does not form during temperature changes.
Setting up and repairing the husqvarna trimmer (husqvarna) 322r, 323r, 128r (128r), 143r, 125r and other models is one of the main activities of the Northern Arrows service center. Our masters have been trained in the manufacturer's branded centers and have certificates confirming their qualifications.
A free comprehensive diagnostic will be done beforehand, on the basis of which a list of faults will be compiled. The cost of repairing a Husqvarna trimmer will depend on its complexity, the need to replace spare parts and subsequent setup and preparation for work. Husqvarna trimmer repairs include:
Starter adjustment or replacement
Engine overhaul
Clutch replacement
E-TECH II engine system adjustment
Replacement of the anti-vibration clutch, harness
Adjustment of the Smart Start system.
Replacement of trimmer nozzles: cultivator, air duct, etc.
Consider Husqvarna 128 r petrol trimmer, repair of which in certain cases can be done independently. If the lawn mower does not start, then check the condition of the spark plug, clean the inner casing from particles of grass, stones and dirt, change the fuel in the gas tank. If necessary, check the serviceability of the engine, carburetor and oil pump.
It will also be useful to clean the grid of the flame arrester, as well as the restrictor from soot.
Do not attempt to repair problems yourself unless you are sure of their nature or your qualifications. Savings in this case can turn into more significant expenses, since new ones can be added to the current problems.
