Washer 40-1940

This OEM-sourced washer in your walk-behind lawnmower provides space and protects the rear wheel from rubbing against the pivot arm assembly, ensuring smooth wheel rotation. A damaged washer may appear worn or cracked, causing the rear wheel to feel misaligned or wobble excessively. If not replaced, it can lead to increased wear and expensive repairs. To remove the existing washer, prop up the wheel with a two by four, use a wrench to remove the bolt securing the wheel, slide out the wheel, and then remove the bolt on the rear adjuster to take off the washer. Please note that this washer is sold individually, so make sure to check the quantity needed for your machine before making your purchase.
