MTD 611-04142A Lawn Mower 8" Rear Axle Assembly 911-04142A

Product Overview:

Supports the rear running arrangement of the lawn mower and forms part of the mower's rear chassis structure. The MTD 611-04142A Rear Axle Assembly is associated with an 8-inch rear wheel configuration and provides the mechanical mounting structure for the rear running components. Positioned at the rear of the mower, the assembly helps maintain the required relationship between the rear wheels and surrounding chassis components during equipment movement.

Rotational Axis Support:

Provides the central axis around which the mounted rear wheel components rotate as the mower moves. Maintaining the correct axle position helps preserve the intended rotational relationship between the wheels and the mower chassis.

Axle Alignment:

Maintains the intended position of the rear running components relative to the mower chassis. Proper alignment supports consistent wheel movement and helps prevent unwanted changes in the rear wheel position.

Replacement Guidelines:

Replace the Lawn Mower 8" Rear Axle Assembly if it is bent, cracked, broken, damaged, corroded, excessively worn, or no longer supports or aligns the rear wheels properly. Verify SKU 611-04142A before replacement to ensure you select the correct axle assembly. Replace the assembly if deterioration affects wheel alignment, secure attachment, mower stability, movement, or normal lawn mower operation.

Common Signs of Wear:

• Bent or visibly deformed axle.
• Cracks or physical damage.
• Excessive wear around mounting areas.
• Misalignment of the rear running assembly.
• Irregular wheel movement associated with axle damage.
