396.001 Universal Lawn Mower Swivel Wheel Kit

Ditto to all of the the other reviews praising this product. See my photos of my curvy landscaping and take my word that it is very easy to maneuver now with the swivel wheels installed. Installation was a snap, and I actually trimmed the mounting bracket to get the wheels closer to the deck for maximum clearance in corners and tight areas, but it lined up perfectly. A retaining pin didn't retain so well, so the manufacturer immediately sent a replacement which was also appreciated. It takes a little more concentration on the straight-away runs, but the improved performance in the curved and corner areas is awesome. You won't regret this very reasonably priced upgrade to make your mower perform like a much more expensively priced factory swivel mower.

The Eazy-Mow website says this fits ALL mowers - it does NOT! It will definitely NOT fit Toro mowers with cast-aluminum decks (the Super-recycler models). I can jury-rig about anything and make it work -but not this. I just spent 4 ½ hours and can't come close to getting it attached correctly. So its going back. I will be out $25 shipping to and from - which I could have avoided if the web-site had the correct info on it about the mowers it does NOT fit. Quality seems adequate, but its not over-built.

I put them on my new Honda HRN216VKA 21" 3-in-1 Self Propelled Twin Blade,w/Auto Choke. I purchased the Toro TimeMaster and brought it back after two Mows, took 5 pulls to start, that doesn't work for me on a new product. I had to drill 2 holes on each side, easy but took a few more minutes, no big deal. I recommend using the two middle holes on the bottom (for strength) Doing one side at a time, drill the back hole first, lining up each side then tighten down and drill other two holes through the template holes. My hole were almost exact and no adjustment needed after lining up each side with this method. Also I feel doing 3 point turn, just like a big zero turn is still essential. My mower is so fast and so light that it can cause ruts on really tight turns if i don't do little 3 point turns. Hills are exactly the same with stock wheels, you just have to over correct and get used to it. I had the same sliding problems as with standard wheels on hills. I don't know how long these will stay tight or last but I think I cut out about 20 min of my time and with narrower width, I was able to get into under brush and between tighter spots of bushes. It will still take me a while to get used to these as my mower is fast and light but I'm already enjoying mowing more. Also I just went from push to self propelled, so that also made a huge difference on my rough and hilly 3rd of an acre.

I installed this on my remote control lawn mower that I built. The EazyMow is a really nice product, however I recommend adding two additional bolts to each side, otherwise the assemblies can bend in and out since the recommended way of using 2 bolts per side creates a "hinge point", causing it to flex; by using 4 bolts per side, you eliminate this "hinge point" that I speak of. I also didn't use any of the included hardware, I instead used Grade 8 bolts (overkill), flat washers, lock washers, and nylon lock nuts and I think this is much stronger and will last longer. The assembly process should be ( from outside of the deck in ) -- > Bolt > Lock Washer > Flat Washer > Eazy Mow Bracket > Deck < Flat Washer < Nylon Lock Nut. Check the customer images of what mine looks like using 4 bolts. Hope this helps some people out!

Unfortunately, I had to return these. The mower I have, had too many plastic parts, and I couldn't make these stabilized. But I had these on a previous mower, and they worked very well.

Purchased in 2013 and installed on a Toro 22" self propelled mower. The design works well and it is easier to mow around objects like trees and signs but it is harder to get into a corner. The casters stick out in front of the mower which means when you push the mower straight again an object the blade is about 6 inches back from the object. In a corner there is no way to mow close to the edges. My main problem was the casters. The original casters use delrin sleeve bearings which completely worn out in less than two years. I replaced them with casters that used ball bearings on the wheel axle as well as the caster base. The new wheels were more than half the price of the whole kit so I understand why they used the cheaper casters. Overall the mower is easier to push and use with the new casters. If I were doing it again, I would consider buying new mower designed with front casters rather than this kit.

I wanted a zero turn mower but didn't want to spend the big bucks for a rider. This is exactly what I wanted and the value is worth it. I have a large landscaped yard and a riding mower doesn't do a very good job. I thought about a zero turn but didn't want the expense. I have a Toro 30 in mower and was impressed a how Easy Mow fits to the mower. Didn't take long to install (some minor drilling) and on the trial mow it handled much better than I would have imagined. Highly recommend Easy Mow to those who want a zero turn mower but don't want to spend a lot of money.

Appears to be a well-designed and mostly well built product. They are really helpful on the mower, and cut mowing time significantly. Having said that, here are some of the drawbacks- cotter pins constantly fall out. I had to replace them with nuts and bolts, which makes height adjustment a real chore. Plastic knobs get brittle and break apart. The flat triangular plate which supports the wheel actually bent, requiring me to heat it with a torch and pound it flat again. Calls to the company go unanswered, e-mails are ignored. If a miracle happens and you get someone, you'll be told if you need a part for them, even something small like a knob or pin, you have to order a new complete set. He says he has them made in China because it's cheap, and he can't be bothered stocking spare parts. He said he doesn't particularly care about bad reviews, as his feedback is 97% positive, so that's all he needs. It's a real shame that the guy has a great concept, and a mostly great product, but he simply wants to take the easy road- having them made cheaply in China, selling as many as he can, and effectively telling his customers to go pound sand. What if a car company sold you a brand new automobile, then when you need a small part for it, they told you, "sorry, we have it made in China now, you'll have to buy a whole new car to get that part you need!" So, buyer beware!
