  • This guide is intended for lawnmowers that may have worn tires, non-repairable flat tires, or upgraded tire replacement.
  • This guide is intended to replace a tire and accompanying rim.
  • Replacing the tire from the rim is possible and achievable with some special tools, but this is considered outside the scope of this guide.

    • Remove the ignition key.

    • Make sure the brake is engaged and locked.

    • Deflate the tire if it is holding air.

    • Use a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen the wheel hub cover as they can become hard over time and difficult to remove.

    • Should the hub cover become damaged during removal, the hub cover for your model should be available from local lawn/tractor/hardware supply stores or online retailers.

    • Securely raise the base of the lawnmower with a jack.

    • A 2x4 piece of wood is placed under the jack point to protect the body of the mower. This is NOT required. Should you choose to do this, use caution as the wood must be placed evenly and not prone to cracking.

    • Support the mower with jack stands to provide extra support and safety.
