I just noticed that one of the back wheels is hitting the metal frame.
Does anyone know what part I should replace, or whether I need a whole new wheel?

I attached two pictures of that back wheel I just made.

Looks like the bushings in that wheel are toast.
need new bushings, or a new wheel if it wore into the rim it's self

Clean it off thoroughly & see how much is damaged & if the rim is involved in the damage.

Looks to me that the Yoke is bent?

I haven't had a chance to really take a look at it, besides thoroughly cleaning it. I'm probably soon going to take that wheel off and check whether the yoke it bent.

I've to admit that a week before I noticed this I accidentally got pretty stuck in mud on the side of a dry creek and tried to get out by driving into the creek and got very stuck in gravel.
I had to pull the mower out with a chain that I attached on the back on the mower, so I could have bent somethings while doing that.

Does anyone know what's the best place to order parts for a grasshopper mower? So far the best I could think of is calling the dealer once I know whether I need a new bushing, a new wheel and/or a yoke.

Go tyo your local dealer. They usually have some parts machines out back. That is not a part that wears out

It's definitely the bearing that went bad. I just took the wheel off and am about to order two new bearings.
The yoke isn't bent, and exactly the same as the other side.

One thing I don't understand is why 2 metal rings (only 1 is in the picture) fell out when I took the wheel apart. I made a picture of it. Even in the 725D manual, I don't see any in the parts list.
