The 5 Best steel Mower Wheels (2023 reviews)

These wheels are made good with a metal hub. It features diamond tread for traction, a 55 lb load rating. The wheels have a metal hub which will not break like the plastic hubs. A ratchet wrench easily removes a nut which is holding on the old wheel and this new wheel slid on as a replacement.

The wheel is steel and the tire or tread is plastic. The plastic ones do not have a center bearing and will wear quickly from regular use. It is easy to install, value for the money and durability. It is made with a metal center and ball bearings for cheaper than the plastic ones without bearings.

Plastic wheels are designed first and foremost for profit, not strength or longevity. These are bigger than the trimmer wheels. The wheel is exactly the same as the original wheel in all dimensions, including the steel bushings. They fit and should work as replacements for 16 inch wheels.

It has a 14 inch wheel with a.50 center hole. The important measurements are the inside diameter of the bearing which the axle will pass through,that is 1/2inch, and the side-to-side width/thickness of the hub area which is 2.5inches. These are made for highwheel lawn mowers and trimmers.

Best For Other things: Oregon steel Mower Wheel

Buy on Amazon

These plastic wheel hubs should work fine for your lawn mower. It works well on a freight magnet or metal picker upper. The wheels are good enough for this plastic tool box to roll it full of heavy electrical extension cords around the jobsite. It will not last in sunlight or under heavy loads. These replacement wheels are of great quality and will probably outlast the old mower itself.

They are a fraction of the cost of an OEM wheel and fit perfectly. It's fairly slick and should work well in fixed-axle applications, where the wheel itself needs to spin relative to the axle. This product needs a weight capacity.

Why We Like This:

Will fit almost any walk behind lawn mower with a 1/2" wheel shaft
Easier to mow with 4 wheels rather than
Worked great on an older craftsman with gray wheels
