side that the wheel is to be changed. The wheels are held by a snap ring and washer which can
be eased off with a screwdriver (fig. 32A).
NOTE: If you have to replace one or both rear wheels, make sure they have the same
diameter, and check that cutting deck is horizontal to prevent an uneven cut.

ring and supporting washer back in place.
