I have a TimeCutter Z420 and while I was mowing the grass today the wheel just fell off. I have no idea why, but the axle just snapped where it connects to the wheel. I have found a couple online for cheaper than I would find at a dealer, and they seem to be OEM or just as good. What would need to be done to replace the axle if I buy one of those. Is it a twist-out axle, or would I need to disassemble to entire assembly from the gearbox? I found a couple of diagrams online...one makes it look like the axle is threaded but they also show several washers, bushings, etc. Is there such a thing as a Haynes Manual (or something similar) that would show me how to disassemble the axle and insert a new one.
