Product Description

?

This is an authentic part assembled by the original manufacturer. It is compatible with many models of Toro and Lawn Boy lawn mowers. It connects to the transmission assembly in conjunction with a ball bearing. Bearings help moving parts move freely and with less friction. They also buffer moving parts from damaging each other during motion. They secure parts so that movement stays in the correct direction. Bearings are a high-wear part that should need to be replaced often. This item is sold individually.

Got what I needed
Re: Twenty year old Toro lawnmower model 20017: The website’s exploded schematic parts diagram allowed me to zero in on the parts that I needed which were a rear axle bearing and bearing holder. They were shipped the same day. Perfect fit. Problem solved. Very pleased with the service.

I\'m still working on this repair. Replacing the ball bearing and bearing retainer was simple. The biggest problem is removing the retaining ring clip to access bearing retainer. I bought a special tool to expand it. But it doesn\'t expand it wide enough and I really had to wrestle with it. Once I got it off, the bigger challenge was putt ing the new one back on after replacing the ball bearing and bearing retainer. The pliers don\'t expand it enough to get it back on. I\'m going to Northern tool to look for a better tool. The one I bought at an auto parts store simply doesn\'t open wide enough.

The repair consisted of replacing the retainer bearing.

Step one - assembled retainer bearing and bearing ball by hammering together. It slid together uneven at first, had to use some WD40 and gentle hammering (to not damage the pieces) to put together.

The toughest part was removing the cover panel that held the transmission rod that the bearing fit onto. That little panel holds a lot of parts together on the machine including the handle-bar assembly. Unscrewing it is easy but its a two person job to put it back together. It helped to take the starter rope pull off the handle part to make it easy to maneuver things back together.

It is key to have a tool to be able to reach the bolt that\'s furthest in (or up depending how you look at it)- again having two people helped. For reassembly, I held the nut and washer using a long adjustable type wrench that held the nut with the washer resting on top. My mom started the screw from the top. Once it caught a couple of turns it was all down hill.
