Will these wheels fit my mower model?

Most likely — the Antanker rear wheel is designed as a universal 12" replacement for the same hub and tread dimensions as Arnold 490-324-0002. Check your mower's rear wheel diameter, tread width, and hub bore before ordering to confirm compatibility.

• Diameter: 12 inches (confirm your mower uses a 12" rear wheel)
• Tread width: 1-3/4 inches, suitable for standard rear wheel flanges
• Hub bore: 1/2 inch nylon hub; verifies axle fitment
• Compatible makes: Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, Toro, Troy-Bilt, Ryobi and similar 12" rear-wheel machines

What are the materials and how does that affect performance?

The wheel is molded from a high-strength plastic designed for wear resistance and low maintenance. The material balances toughness with light weight so the wheels resist abrasion and cracking while keeping overall weight down.

• Durable plastic construction reduces long-term wear
• Textured tread increases friction on wet or uneven surfaces
• Nylon hub offers corrosion resistance and consistent axle fit
• Low-maintenance compared with pneumatic or rubber-only wheels

How do these wheels affect traction and stability on my lawn?

The patterned surface on each Antanker wheel improves grip compared with smooth plastic hubs, which helps maintain directional control on slopes and damp grass. Stability is enhanced through the tread design and correct wheel width, reducing slippage during turns and while traversing uneven terrain.

• Patterned tread for increased friction and reduced wheel spin
• 1-3/4" width helps distribute load and improves tracking
• Solid plastic rim minimizes deformation under weight
• Suitable for light to medium lawn tractor tasks and routine yard work

What are the exact dimensions and what should I measure?

Confirm your mower’s rear wheel size before purchasing by measuring diameter, tread width, and hub bore. These replacement wheels match the Arnold 490-324-0002 specification so measuring the same points ensures a correct fit.

• Overall diameter: 12 inches — measure rim edge to rim edge
• Tread width: 1-3/4 inches — measure the face of the tread
• Hub bore: 1/2 inch nylon hub — measure axle diameter for fit
• Verify any retaining clip or washer arrangement on your axle

Who is this for: Homeowners, landscapers with smaller equipment, and DIY repairers who need an affordable, direct-replacement rear wheel for common 12" wheel garden tractors will find this Antanker wheel useful. It is ideal if you want an OEM-compatible size without paying OEM prices, if your mower needs better traction on slippery grass, or if you're restoring older machines and require a reliable nylon-hub wheel that resists corrosion and wear. If your machine uses a different diameter, hub size, or pneumatic tire, measure first to ensure a match or consult your mower's parts manual.
