Haven't had an opportunity to use the mower yet, due to buying wheel late in the year. One thing I should mention though, the size of the shaft is listed as 1 1/4". But when it's powder coated, the diameter increases dramatically. I had to grind off the powder coating in order to mount it. Really the powder coating should be left off the shaft since it's going to be covered with grease. Other than that, the product seems to be very well built.
