This saved me a costly repair and simple to do. Thanks, Jim Mullins

[@tomadam4102]

Thanks very much for this excellent, clear and practical video. Last time this happened to my automower it cost me £91.30 and I've just fixed it myself for about 50p so I'm happy!

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Good to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@EshlemaniaTV just subd. Bro 😀

[@FarterBoom]

Its working perfect now my automower. I Lived one hours car trip away from Husqvarna the place they produced those automowers in Sweden

[@sirkildalot8409]

Brilliant. Thank you this was so helpful. Ordered some starlock washers for £3.50 and the problem of the wheel dropping off will be fixed. By some bizarre coincidence the front castor wheel fell off my older 265acx today just as I fixed the newer 450x so knowing how to mend these wheels has saved me two repair bills!

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Glad we could help!

[@justjoyriding]

Many thanks! This was very helpful. I had just ordered a new shield kit, thinking that was the problem because it was worn down on two sides, but after I watched, I took the wheel apart and put it back together, (taking a while to put the lock washer back on) and so far so good! I guess I will just use the new shield if the wheel comes off again at some point.

[@Doppeldropper]

Good video, for a temporary fix I used the old snapped retaining rig (squeezed it with pliers a bit), put it on the axle and squeezed a spring lock ring (sp?) so it locked tightly on top of the old retaining ring. Seems to be holding for now anyway. Bearings are probably next since the thing has been running over 4200km already 🙂

[@claygreenlaw4871]

Informative , as always. How about a video on the more common part failures. Thanks

[@TheRemyRomano]

This actually is a pretty common part failure. These starlock washers should be replaced every three years but few dealers do that.

[@jamesedwards6784]

Cheer dude - great advice and I’ve fixed my wheel :)

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Glad it helped!

[@yonbucher8364]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I love working on my automower and this video helps. I’ll keep your email handy!

[@grogershoward2376]

Thanks. I would like to see how you replace the wheel with axle assembly. Need size of retaining clip so can buy extra. No problems with front wheel for first two years. So far this year, two front wheels have come off.

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Replacing the whole axle assembly requires splitting open the chassis. Since it is rare to have an issue with the axle itself most people buy the complete assembly and just swap the wheel onto their existing axle. The push on retaining ring is 8 mm. 5/16 will work but takes a bit more force to get on the axle.

[@jerryhollands8444]

@@EshlemaniaTV presumably the 5/16 will be a little more prone to breaking/splitting after a while because of the extra force required. I had a front wheel fall off, and it got chewed up by Eustace 😆

[@jolesendk83]

How do you get that arm with the wheel of the mower

[@andrewwoulfe6579]

love your videos. Have gotten a great deal of tips on taking care of my Automower. Can you do a video on running 2 automowers in the same yard. I have a 450X and a bit more than the 1.2 acers recommended. Would like to have one do each half of the yard

[@EshlemaniaTV]

2 mowers in the same yard is easy to do. Just install them and let them go. They do not recognize each other or know that one another exists. We have done multiple installs on several properties now. Some we even have the work areas over lapping. If we get some time and decent weather we'll try to set up a small demo for ya.

[@andrewwoulfe6579]

can you do 2 mowers from the same charger? and set up different zones for each within the same boundary wire? @@EshlemaniaTV

[@durecu1]

great video! thanks a lot. Where can one buy the front wheel? One of mine is lost!!

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Send an email to [e-mail] with your mowers model number and what parts you need.

[@jameskrueger6282]

Great video on this boring, but now simple task. That helped me a lot. Awesome accent! Where's that from? 😁

[@EmmanuelMogenet]

Super helpful and exactly solved my problem.

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Good to hear! Thanks for the feedback! If you need parts for your Automower be sure to check out www.roboticmowerservices.com/ The website just went public and there are still a lot of parts being added to the catalog.

[@simschro]

Nice one, thanks! What are the bearing's codes? Or is there readable code..?

[@simschro]

696A-2RS or 619/6A-2RS or MR616-2RS bearing d:6mm D:16mm B:5mm

[@briankudera]

My wheel kept falling off. I came across this video, awesome! So I took mine apart and the lock nut seems fine! I'm not understanding why it would keep falling off. Going to reassemble, but I have a green o-ring that fell off from somewhere and I'm not sure where it goes. I don't see this piece in your video as you're taking apart and putting back together, perhaps it's something new on the 430XH?

[@Aegir1001]

I understand that this answer is a year late, but for anyone else wondering. The green o-ring is placed in the slot above the outer bearing - look at 5,00 min of the video. It is not in place there, but should be.

[@jimyoung4224]

how do you get the caster off the 430X

[@sariricciardella4066]

Great video but I how do I unmount the wheel first? 😩

[@jamesm90]

Thank you very helpful!

[@EshlemaniaTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@randompowerequipment6201]

Good info!

[@metman1976]

Thank you! 👍👍

[@EshlemaniaTV]

You are welcome!

[@hendrikkabel]

Why to hassle with a lockwasher, which tends to often break (because it is too thin), when shaft lock collar can get the job done more easily and is more durable in time? This alternative repair method is addressed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZLcoI2aidRjn5I

[@EshlemaniaTV]

I know a couple people that did that as a way to repair their front wheel when it came off. It works and makes replacement much easier.

[@pongodrillo]

thanks!!!
