396.001 Universal Lawn Mower Swivel Wheel Kit

I put them on my new Honda HRN216VKA 21" 3-in-1 Self Propelled Twin Blade,w/Auto Choke. I purchased the Toro TimeMaster and brought it back after two Mows, took 5 pulls to start, that doesn't work for me on a new product. I had to drill 2 holes on each side, easy but took a few more minutes, no big deal. I recommend using the two middle holes on the bottom (for strength) Doing one side at a time, drill the back hole first, lining up each side then tighten down and drill other two holes through the template holes. My hole were almost exact and no adjustment needed after lining up each side with this method. Also I feel doing 3 point turn, just like a big zero turn is still essential. My mower is so fast and so light that it can cause ruts on really tight turns if i don't do little 3 point turns. Hills are exactly the same with stock wheels, you just have to over correct and get used to it. I had the same sliding problems as with standard wheels on hills. I don't know how long these will stay tight or last but I think I cut out about 20 min of my time and with narrower width, I was able to get into under brush and between tighter spots of bushes. It will still take me a while to get used to these as my mower is fast and light but I'm already enjoying mowing more. Also I just went from push to self propelled, so that also made a huge difference on my rough and hilly 3rd of an acre.

I bought these for my Honda lawn mower. Thinking that these would easily attach and I would be able to mow my grass much easier with the ability of the swivel wheels. Several pieces of the hardware are missing out of the box that go with the wheel insulation and the set of swivel wheels that I did receive appear to have been used and badly marked. I guess these were turned in and regifted to me and on top of that they won't fit my Honda lawn mower.

I wanted a zero turn mower but didn't want to spend the big bucks for a rider. This is exactly what I wanted and the value is worth it. I have a large landscaped yard and a riding mower doesn't do a very good job. I thought about a zero turn but didn't want the expense. I have a Toro 30 in mower and was impressed a how Easy Mow fits to the mower. Didn't take long to install (some minor drilling) and on the trial mow it handled much better than I would have imagined. Highly recommend Easy Mow to those who want a zero turn mower but don't want to spend a lot of money.

Good product. Needs to be built stronger though.

My working definition of "Universal" is "Adaptable for many, ideal for none." The Eazy Mow 396.001 Universal Lawn Mower Swivel Wheel Kit was adaptable to my 2005, Troy-Bilt, 21", rear bag, side discharge, mulching mower, model series 430. OEM wheels mounted with 1 bolt between 2 tabs, oriented vertically. Swivel kit couldn't achieve more than a 1" separation between bolts or between bolt & tab so I drilled an extra hole in each side of the mower skirt to allow greater stability.It was ordered 8/8/2018 & shipped 8/10. Promised between 8/13 & 8/16. Despite a notification saying it would be late USPS delivered on time, 8/15. A brief test drive suggests mowing without wheelies at every turn will be much easier. I'll update after a couple hours of use.Updated 22Aug2018Downgraded 4 stars to 3 after initial use.I have 3 criticisms against Eazy Mow 396.001 Universal Lawn Mower Swivel Wheel Kit specifically & 1 knock against casters in general.These wheels are narrower and much smaller diameter than my mower's original wheels. Smaller wheels means less "flotation", which means harder mowing because they sink into lush turf.One of my height adjustment pins backed halfway out in less than 1 hour's use. Toggle pins would be more secure.The casters have a narrower stance than the original wheels so more grass gets mashed down before the blade reaches it.Now my criticism of caster mowing in general. Traversing a slope (not climbing or descending) however slight, makes the casters want to roll downhill. One must push harder on the downhill side of the handle to correct the deviations. Casters are a sketchy choice for any yard that's not flat.28Sep2018Remounted OEM wheels. Junk in my shed now includes an $80 pair of casters.

These pivoting wheels made my mower so much easier to maneuver around planting beds and trees. Before this addition mower did not want to turn.

Besides the hardware being cheap I've only used these on my rc mower for 2 mows and somehow the wheels have managed to bend already therefore changing the height and causing the mower not able to turn or drive as well. Someone needs to come up with a better and reliable design on some front wheels for am R.C. mower.
