Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Replaced existing grass bag
The bag was slightly larger than the original. So the clips along all sides needed to be trimmed slightly to fit the existing frame. 15 minute fix and it works perfect.

The treads on the front drive wheels were worn down to the point that they provided little traction.
Removed a single nut on each end of the drive shaft with the appropriate socket. Wheels then slipped off. Cleaned/polished the shaft with fine sandpaper, lubed with silicone spray, slid on the wheels and reinstalled the nuts with the same socket. Wheels were an exact fit and OEM quality. Done in 15 minutes start to finish.

Not the exact fit
I had to drill and tap the ends of the axle and put a 1/4” bolt in to fasten the wheels. The hubs were not the same. They fastened differently.

I replaced the deck on my Craftsman Lawn Mower, and needed a new water nozzle and some screws to hold the front wheel assembly on.
I removed the rear wheels, then I removed the blade, then the motor, then the front wheel assembly. The bolts holding the front wheel assembly were rusted and rounded trying to remove them, so I cut them out with a grinder. Afterwards I removed the remainder of the screw with a pair of pliers. I also removed the Water jet cleanout nozzle, found it was cracked, ordered the part from PartSelect, along with the screws needed to attach the front wheel assembly. I cleaned the remaining parts and re installed them onto the new deck. First, I installed the front wheel assembly, then the motor, then sat the mower upright, installed the blade, then took the rear wheel assembly and aligned it and fastened it to the deck. Last piece was the water nozzle. I placed it in the recess for it, and fastened it with the bolt. Then I tested the mower, and it worked without issue. Afterwards I used the new clean out port to rinse the underside of the deck, and it worked well.
