This is an original part from Ryobi. The gauge wheel (half, spoked) is compatible with many riding lawn mowers. The durable plastic wheel is fasted onto the shoulder bolt and the gauge bracket kit. The gauge wheel (half, spoked) is sold individually. This component is designed to prevent the deck from hitting the ground when mowing an uneven surface. A wrench and a pair of pliers are needed for the installation.
Mower was cutting to high on one side to low on the other. Changed out generic gauge wheels that were useless. Ordered correct wheels from ereplacementparts.com now mower cuts like it did when I first bought it and I\'m pleased with the parts and service and if I\'m in need of future parts I will return.

The most difficult part after removing the mowing deck was the R&R of the motion belt. Even after raising the entire mower up on jack stands and crawling under the thing, trying to get that belt off seemed about impossible to see or reach at the transmission end, UNTIL, I removed the under seat battery and battery box.

The front end, on the motor shaft, top pulley, \'looked\' impossible to take off too because the belt keepers seemed to be fastened to the deck at both ends, so I cut belt in two, then it came off - easy. Now to put the new belt back on seemed impossible too. Finally I saw that the keepers were springy and were only fastened at one end so the belt could be worked around them. Not easy but it worked out. Later to remove the blades to sharpen, it takes a long handled extension to loosen the blade nut.To keep the blade from turning while trying to unloosen the nut I used the deep throat vise grips and locked it onto the mower deck edge as a stop so that the blade could not keep going. Two final things. I find that a belt sander does a far better sharpening job than a grind stone. Less material removed. Plus,
My Front Mower Lift Link Suspension rod that adjust the front deck height just disappeared because the deck end spring cotter key come off. I noticed that on the new rod a hole is drilled up close to the adjuster nuts. And a long spring lock cotter key goes thru it to prevent the rod from sliding out the front side of the bracket to get lost. All of this took 5 hours. I have all kinds of tools and reasonable know how. But the Poulan operator manual seems written loosely.
