I purchased this mower from Ace (Waconia Farm Supply) for around $300 in 2003. The rear wheels have been nothing but problems since about 2005. I have had 2 wheels crack in the hub, then the wheels would constantly come loose (and wobble) so I had to carry a wrench with me and tighten them 5 or 6 times per mow (1 hour 15 minutes). Now the place it threads into stripped (which already happened once to me). I complained to Ace about 2 years ago, they called Toro and Toro said that the mowers' rear tires shouldn't be bumped against things and it was not made for a hilly yard. I had a $150 craftsman last me 17 years. Not too happy right now...
