First is designed for the self-propelled mowers.
These types of wheels derive their energy from the engine so as to push the mower forward.
The direction of the mower may be changed with the help of control of available throttles.
These types of wheels are quite distinct because they have ridges on the inner part of the mower wheel.

A replacement wheel is required if the mower is turning in a particular direction only.
However if there is wear in the driving wheels then these need to be replaced.
Replacement of both wheels is advisable to maintain the uniformity between their motions.

No ridges are present in the push lawn mowers and they also lack a drive system.
They are easily replaced when compared to self-propelled wheels.

By taking off a bolt at the end will easily take the wheel off easily.
Push reel mowers do not require a motor and need human power instead to turn the spiral blade.
In a push-reel mower it's very easy to replace a wheel but it needs to be made sure that the new wheel should be equal in diameter to the old wheel being changed.

Examples of such treads are zig-zag ones and diamond ones.


Basic Tire

A basic rubber tire is the third type of tire.
Large mowers have pneumatic tires which are filled with pressurized air that are similar to the car or bicycle tires.
While replacing a mower's wheel following tools may be required.

  • Jack
  • Wrench
  • Pliers
  • Tire pressure guage
  • New replacement wheels and etc...
If your old tire has a slow leak problem then it might be corrected by simply inflating it.

Drive the mower or spin the wheel for few minutes so the sealant which you have injected in the wheel spreads easily.

See for the whole day. If the tire holds then its fine and if not change it with a new one.

Jack up the mower and take out the wheel. Put a new wheel on the axle replacing the restraining clip.

Release the jack and allow the wheels to settle on the ground. Check the air pressure.
