Thanks Rivets. I thought they were good....so my bad!!! I'll replace both sides, and still wondering if there's a correct way to place them on the axle....part # in or out, or if it doesn't matter? Also ....the grease.....I'm assuming yes....a little? As I'm recovering from a stroke a few months...

Hi all, Long story behind the work done on this mower...the most recent thing done to it was to replace the wheel bearing on this wheel....but unfortunately used it today and still grinding. I thought the pinion gear was okay....when I activate the drive with wheels in the air there is no...

SO............used mower today, and the grinding noise is still there on the left rear drive wheel only. This is despite a new bearing, and the gears inside the wheel looking in really good shape. I'm at a loss to determine what else could be wrong....it seems to be making the plastic gear cover...

Finally decided to strip the mower down...removed the HOC plate and dropped the axle down.....then pulled the axle through and was able to lay the HOc adjustment plate in the vice and get an 1 1/4" socket and breaker bar on the nut...finally came loose. Bearing replaced, and lesson learnt!!! :)...

i've spent pretty much the whole day trying to get the nut end of the HOC for the new bearing undone.......penetrating oil, heat.......not moving. The new HOC with bearing threads through the mower deck and height adjustment plate......but as you see in the photo, has very little meat to get...

The bearing hoc has no snap ring....so does it just come out?

Thanks Rivets....having a tough time working out where the retainer ring is located....I've tried following the service manual but just not getting it. Does the whole wheel height adjustment plate have to be removed to access the bearing?

Apologies......I see now that the nut is actually the end of the retainer bushing for the bearing....at least I think so?

Just a quick question....have the new bearing for this toro 20374 rear left wheel, and wondering if the large nut on the inside of the mower allows this plate to come off so's I can get to the bearing? Or does the whole height adjustment system need to come off? Thanks.

Thanks Rivets, Just so I'm clear....the parts you refer to are 5,6,and 7 in the parts diagram??

Hi guys, Just had this mower apart to install a new belt as the self propelled drive did not seem to be working well...runs fine now and the wheels drive, but there's an awful grinding noise coming from the rear left wheel...especially on a slight slope when thats the downhill wheel. Took the...
