Timemaster 30"

[sc243899]

So do I, due to the concept and the reviews.
But I'd like to see caster wheels in front...this is a heavy one...no two stroke.
The balance had better be nigh perfect, I probably spend as much time turning, as I do running in a straight line.

It works much better with caster wheels!!

That's easy :laughing: I'll bet those casters came off the Cub Cadet that's behind the Timemaster. Look at the rear wheels on the CC behind the TM and compare them to the caster wheels. He painted them red to match. I've got two Cubs with caster wheels and you can order those assembly's and they just bolt on. The problem he may encounter is the fact that they are made for a lighter mower than the Timemaster so how long they will last would be hard to tell.

I bet you're right!

These casters appear to be "factory", but, the heigth adjustment looks to be a PITA.
Also, the caster angle is not very much..
Maybe caster wheels are not so great..
Only Ariens seems to use them in the push mowers.
Its something that one must use and try out, over some time.

• Honda

Personally I like the castor wheels, I have the CC98H and the CC 999ES and I can tell you your right about the height adjustment being a PITA. Once those thing get dirty there absolutely the worst. IF he did take those off the Cub Cadet he may have problems with adjusting the height of the mower because the rear and front heights Probably won't match up. The other thing is the weight difference between the mowers, I don't know how long the bushing will last with twice the weight on them?

I did not know this..
I do know that most of these come from the same manufacturer. In truth we may be down to 3 to 5 manufacturers of mowers, much like our cars.
