105-1815 Front Drive Wheels Replacement for Toro 22" Recycler Lawn Mower - 8" Drive Wheel Tires Gear Assembly, Compatible with Toro 20016 20065 20005 Recycler Self-Propelled Lawn Mower, 2PCS

What It Is

This is a set of two front drive wheel assemblies (tire, gear, and hub) designed to replace worn or slipping drive wheels on Toro 22" Recycler self-propelled lawn mowers. Each wheel measures 8 inches in diameter and includes the internal gear that engages the transmission for self-propulsion.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower deck size is exactly 22 inches. This part is compatible with Toro Recycler models 20016, 20065, and 20005, plus many other 22" Recycler versions from the 2000s and 2010s. Check your mower’s model number (on the deck or under the rear flap) against Toro’s official list for part 105-1815. These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM Toro, but match the original dimensions and gear count. Measure your existing wheel diameter (should be 8") and verify the axle hole size (typically 5/8"). If your mower has a different deck size or wheel diameter, these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a socket set and possibly a pry bar to remove the old wheels. No special tools required, but expect 20–30 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The gear teeth must align perfectly with the transmission output shaft. If the wheel doesn’t slide on smoothly, don’t force it—check for debris or bent axles.
• Quality note: These aftermarket wheels are generally well-reviewed for durability, but some users report slightly softer rubber than OEM. They’ll still last multiple seasons under normal use.
• Self-propulsion check: If your mower was slipping before, replace both wheels at once to ensure even traction and gear wear.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid, affordable fix if your Toro 22" Recycler’s front wheels are cracked, worn smooth, or no longer driving the mower forward. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners who want to avoid a $80+ OEM replacement. If you need exact OEM fit or your mower is a newer model (post-2018), verify compatibility first. For most 22" Recycler owners, this is a smart, cost-effective choice.
