C and D series mowers

8” (20cm) rear wheels
7. Rear wheel removal is similar to the process for
removing the front wheels, but they lack the double-
beveled washer, and they contain a drive gear.
See Figure 4.19.
NOTE: The drive gear is not available as a separate
service part, though it can be removed by
taking out 3 screws. Use a 5/16” wrench to
remove the screws.
NOTE: If the drive gear is worn, it is likely that the
pinion gear that turns it will be worn as well.
The wheel and pinion gear should be
replaced as a pair.
11” (28cm) rear wheels
8. Removal of the 11” rear wheels is similar to removal
of the 8” rear wheels, except that there is a wheel
cover. See Figure 4.20.
9. The wheel cover fastens near the hub. Pry-out the
edge of the wheeel cover to reach the fastening
point, but removal force should be applied as close
as possible to the center of the wheel cover.
10. Remove the nut from the axle using a 9/16” wrench.
11. Slide the wheel off of the axle. See Figure 4.21.
NOTE: The drive gear is not available as a separate
service part, though it can be removed by
taking out 3 screws. Use a 5/16” wrench to
remove the screws.
NOTE: If the drive gear is worn, it is likely that the
pinion gear that turns it will be worn as well.
• The wheel and pinion gear should be replaced
as a pair.
• The bearings used in the 11” rear wheels are
not available separately from MTD. Replace
the wheel if the bearings have failed.
