Lawn Mower Wheels Front Drive fit for Craftsman Lawn Mower Parts 194231X460 401274X460 583719501 2 Pack 8" X1-3/4 Wheel Self Propelled Replaces AYP Oregon72-344

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 8" x 1-3/4" front drive wheels designed for self-propelled Craftsman lawn mowers. They replace OEM parts 194231X460, 401274X460, and 583719501, and also fit AYP and Oregon 72-344 models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things:

• Model number: Verify your Craftsman mower’s model plate (usually under the seat or on the deck). This wheel fits many self-propelled Craftsman models from the 2000s–2010s, but not all—cross-reference with the OEM numbers above.
• Wheel size: Must be exactly 8" diameter x 1-3/4" wide. Measure your old wheel’s tire and hub to confirm.
• Drive system: These are for front-wheel-drive (FWD) self-propelled mowers only. They have a built-in gear/drive hub that engages the transmission. They will not fit push mowers or rear-wheel-drive models.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Solid rubber tires with plastic hubs. Durable for residential use, but not commercial-grade. Some users report the plastic hub can crack if overtightened or hit curbs hard.
• Installation: Simple—remove the old wheel clip/pin, slide off the old wheel, slide on the new one, and reinstall the clip. No tools beyond a flathead screwdriver or pliers. Takes 5 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The drive gear on the wheel must align with the mower’s drive shaft. If the wheel spins freely without engaging, the splines are mismatched—double-check OEM numbers before buying.
• Price vs OEM: At ~$23 for two, this is roughly half the cost of genuine Craftsman wheels. Good value if fitment is correct.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible Craftsman FWD mower and need a quick, affordable replacement for worn-out front wheels, this is a solid choice. Avoid if your mower uses a different drive system (RWD or push) or if you need commercial-grade durability.
