All of the push mowers I remember working on have plastic wheels with sleeve bearings -- the metal sleeve is fits into the plastic wheel body and the bearing surface is between the sleeve and the axle.
On a Lawn-Boy, it's very easy to remove the wheel and axle to grease the bearings so I've started doing it more often -- maybe every ten to twenty hours.
How about this as a maintenance rule-of-thumb: if the bearing surfaces are completely dry - - when you take the wheel off, then you should have done it sooner.
