Review on Genuine Husqvarna 532401274 Replaces 401274X460 by Josh Schaefer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wheels and gears should be replaced together.

I received it quicker than expected. These Husqvarna wheels are better than after sale. I've had both types in the past and aftermarket wheels wear out in 6 months. I don't know how long they will last. The ONLY major issue as to why these sprocket drive wheels wear out prematurely is that the mower deck deflects which causes the drive axles to shift and cause excessive wear. Look closely at the wheels on the front of the mower. If you notice that they are facing outwards, you will need to remove the wheels, gearbox and entire wheel assembly, straighten the deck metal near where the drive axle is protruding, and then reassemble the entire assembly. You can use large sliding pliers or a large vise to do this. Not as hard as it sounds, but it's a dirty job. Pay special attention to the order of all parts and your nuts. Lubricate everything before assembly. The manufacturer does not guarantee the wheels. They claim it's a consumable item. I learned it the hard way. My problem was misaligned wheels and a slightly curved deck. I agree with other bloggers that these sprockets should be metal.
