I have a 8125P. This is the aluminum deck, four square, rear bagger, "school bus" model. It has self propelled rear wheels, a feature that I never use. This is a good, clean, powerful machine but is a bear to push around, because, even disengaged, the self propelled rear wheels drag like crazy. Has anybody ever tried putting a set of front wheels with no gear, on the back? If I bought a set of front wheels off eBay, would they fit on the back, making this an easy-to-push machine?

Is the shaft those rear wheels are mounted to splined or keyed? If it is splined, I don't know how you could do that. If it is keyed, you could simply try removing the key and see what happens.

Take the wheels off and remove the pinion gear which is very easy to do.

Thank you! I kind of thought of that, but it looked like some kind of rivet. I didn't want to permanently defeat the option, in case I ever have to sell it. Can the gear also be reinstalled? Or maybe I should just buy some rear wheels and take the gear off of THEM?

You can reinstall the gears.
