NEW LAWN MOWER WHEELS 2020: Replacing the wheels on a Honda GCV160
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Today replaced the wheels on a mower I inherited from my neighbor. This is a Honda GCV160 and it looks looks like he did burn-outs in his driveway. I was able to order 4 new wheels for about $60. The process was pretty simple, you just need to make sure you order the right size and be prepared to do some clean-up.

Actual wheel changing starts around 6:10 or so for those who maybe in a rush or something. Great video mate, appreciate the knowledge.
No problem 👍
I’ve had the same mower for 3 years...and the wheels are damn near smooth from only running them on 99 percent grass, and a little bit of concrete (sidewalks and the garage floor). This video will be helpful. Thanks, sir.
Thank you! Glad you find it helpful!
Great video! Problem I have after changing out the wheels a couple of times, this time having trouble with one wheel. The bolt is on so well I cannot get it lose. I have tried WD40. Any suggestions will be helpful. Do not want to strip this bolt. The rear tires for us have worn as bad as in the video.
The only suggest I have is to heat the bolt, but with plastic wheels that may be a bad idea.
@@TheLawnShark I think that might be something to try. I had thought about it but not tried. The plastic wheel are worn to almost nothing similar to what you had in the video.
@@Howard2006 hope it works for you!
The wheels end up looking like that after a couple years because when you use the clutch on the lawn mower it scrapes the tire on the concrete and overtime it just goes away
Correct.
I have the very same mower and worn wheels just like that. Mine wore out just cutting grass. Lousy wheel material!! ... Good vid! I've ordered replacements too - thanks much for showing the part numbers so clearly on the new wheel wrappings. Sure doesn't look like the new wheels have much tread either...
I was surprised by how bad the material was. I have two Honda mowers that are slightly different models and the wheels are completely different sizes. I was glad I didn't order the same wheels for both.
What’s the size of the socket you used?
Sorry, this was 4 years ago and I don't remember. I have not owned these mowers for over 3 years.
@@TheLawnShark it’s totally fine. I actually found the size thank you for the video.
@@peacefulthrillseeker Glad to hear it!
I always call ny weather bipolar. 55 on Monday today over a foot of snow
Dang! That is harsh, but that's how it was when we lived in Denver. It would snow in the morning and 70 in the afternoon. Crazy stuff.
All ready for some more burnouts now
I'm more of an "enjoy the mow" kinda guy! 😝
Can I get the link for the tires please. Thanks buddy great video.
It's been a while and I am not exactly sure where I got them, but I am 90% sure I got them at www.ereplacementparts.com/.
tires part number:
Front:
44710-VLO-TOOZA
Rear:
42710-VLO-TOOZA
So how are the replacement wheels doing now? The original wheel design is notorious for wearing quickly, especially the drive wheels in the rear. There are many retread videos to alleviate the quick wearing of the hard rubber/plastic wheels. Looks like the replacement wheels you used are for later HRR216 models (2018 and later), hence the color and tread difference.
I actually sold this mower a year later, but they looked really good while I still owned it.
Front wheel's bolt (wheel 9:47) fallen out after a few feet of cutting. If you tighten the bolt too much the wheel won't turn.
Applied high strength Loctite on thread. Still the bolt walks out. Threads are not stripped on both sides. What is the fix?
HRR2166VKA's front wheel has no bearing. Just a washer & bolt holding wheel. Threads are good.
Too tight on the bolt, wheel won't turn.
Loose, wheel wobble & then later fall out.
Bolt length thread can not be lengthen or able to buy
The bolt should tighten down all the way and the wheel should roll freely. Are you missing a washer? Is it the right wheel? Lot's of variables without actually looking at it. Sorry.
@@TheLawnShark Again & has stated there are bolts & washers on both front wheels.
Tighten down WILL NOT turn the wheel if loose wheel (bolt) will fall out (one or both wheels).
Opposite of on problem of rear wheel locked up when pulling it backward.
you learn how important good treads are needed on your car after running this bald and then replacing new wheels. night and day difference
100% True!
GCV 160 is the engine model, not the mower model. That’s most likely a HRR216
Thanks for the correction. Thankfully I was able to order the correct wheels off of the engine and it still worked. So, I guess you can order parts from either number.

But you tried! 😆
From experience Honda does not like to honor thier warranties on known defects they know they have
I didn't know that. But to be fair, I owned my last mower for 12 years and never had an issue. Maybe I was just lucky.
You talk too much! Just get to the point.
I'm so sorry you couldn't find the back button to find a different video to watch. Hopefully you'll have better luck next time.
