So my neighbor put her Craftsman Self propelled mower at the curb for free. I saw it and asked if it ran. She said it ran great but seemed heavy and hard to push. I decided to take it.
Upon checking it not only were the front wheels lacking tread but one of the drive wheels wasn't turning when engaged. When I pulled it I found the plastic teeth worn off which is a common issue with many of these mowers. Steel gear, platic teeth.
I bought a couple wheels off Amazon and put them on and all is good.
Can't believe they use cheap plastic gear teeth.
