Craftsman Lawn Mower with a Loose Front Wheel 

Great video. I like picking up "junked" mowers from people who, for whatever reason dispose of them. Fixing them is a great hobby in my retirement. All of the mowers I do fix are given to needy families.

I've cleaned more Honda carburetors than anything , my trouble at first when working them was everything has to go back exactly the way it came off . Videos helped me in the tough times . Thanks good video .

I was going to Rochester NY today and I found the very same mower that someone put a free sign on when I got it home I put some gas in it and it run perfectly on the first pull the problem is the right front wheel is loose just like this one. It looks pretty straight forward thanks for sharing this with us.

I love what you said at the end, don't just junk it. We are wasteful these days more than ever because things are definitely made "differently". I've collected so many small engine tools like this from people and our local transfer stations, fixed them up and given them to people that needed them free of charge. So many times the fixes were super easy. I did keep a log splitter for myself though that I found....oh, and a power washer. I'm still looking for a nice chipper fixer upper too. Apparently those are hard to come by. Excellent job Small Engine DIY!

Informative video. Before installing the wheel I clean the axel with brake cleaner and a scotchbrite pad. You can then use a dry silicone lube or grease on the axel. Not only prevents rust but the wheels will spin much better.

Nice video. Couple of things; if you pull on the starting rope till it sticks the cylinder will be at top dead center and you can tip it over without oil spilling into the cylinder.. Also I've watched many DIY lawn mower repairs vids and nobody seem to take the time to clean the motor of all the accumulated dirt and grime. Rust Blaster and carb cleaner are a mower's best friend.

Good looking mower to have such a bad front wheel. Great diagnosis and repair. Should sell pretty good when it is time. Thanks for the videos.

Very common problem on the front wheel drive mowers. Only seen one RWD with a bad bearing.

Good video. That's the first time I've seen a spark plug in that bad of shape for a very long time.

Very helpful video. Just replaced the front drive wheels on my 1990 craftsman. But good information about the assembly.

Thanks ..this video helped me out..when i go garbage pickin i run across these mowers a lot ..usually very little wrong bad gas ..fouled plug .dirty filter if i cant fix em i part them out for parts like that bushing 😁

Excellent video!!! Was about to buy a new mower. Had issues with wheels locking up. Think this will fix my issue. I Saved, myself $300, by fixing it myself.

i have a husky with the same problem. thanks for the video.

Good ace to put a Bench Vise

This video was good but way too complicated for me!

Hi I just wanted to say great video I have the exact same issue with my lawn mower but it's rear wheel drive now i can get mine repaired but i wasn't sure on the bearing, I know it's hard to find this part for some reason not sure why tho.

What is the part number of the bearing? Great job

Is that a JDM Honda Acty or Subaru Sambar k-car pick up in the background? Great video, by the way! Thanks for sharing, sir!

Sorry could not see

Get tou a magnetic Tray

I did all of this and it still wobbles. I’ve rebuilt the wheel bearing assembly 7 times

i am working on the same one for a winter progect. do you no if the snap ring is 1 inch? they are a fun to try to get on
