Stuff I Think Is Awesome www.amazon.com/shop/influence...
Five years ago, I bought a good used, well-maintained 2 y/o TimeMaster. Just got done replacing the BBC cable and installing the casters and a 1 gallon fuel tank (combined the 2 for extra capacity), gave it a tune up with a SeaFoam treatment, new plug, gas and air filter, synthetic oil and Oregon hi-lift blades. Practically a brand new mower!! Will eventually upgrade to the 223cc B&S engine. I also installed a 2nd washout fitting on the opposite side of the deck. Thanks for the video.
Awesome!!
Very innovative feature Randy! You did a professional job on the removal of existing and installation of the new casters. I think it will work well and looking forward to your feedback on it. Thank you!
I think I'm gonna do this to my 21" Honda. Love your channel Randy. Real straight up content 👊👊
It’s like a little mini zero turn ! Awesome!!
That worked really well
Looks like it worked out well 💯💯💯
That's awesome. Iv always wanted them wheels on the timemaster. Thanks for testing it.
You got it man, really hoping it works out
@@DulinCutAndTrim I want to see them in person..
I lost your number when I switched phones. Shoot me a text and we can figure something out
With the frame mounts installed, looks like you could get bigger casters from Harbor Freight and mount them if those small casters seem to be an issue.
I have a Timemaster. I enjoy using it but it needs 7" or 8" caster wheels in the front like the Cub Cadet CC 600 or the Craftsman M430. Then, it can be more managable around trees and bushes. I''d add a hourly meter in addition to the casters and it would be ultra perfect as an alternative to a entry-level rider.
Toro should make a retro kit for the Timemaster with casters for say $200.00 that can be an easy bolt on with minimal fabrication.
Edit: 4/2024, after using my Timemaster a lot since this post. Toro should offer an upgrade kit for those who want pneumatic tires say 12" on the rear and 10" locking swivels on front. I would pay $350.00 for this to keep my Timemaster from making ruts(yes, I the alternate the direction of cuts each week.)
Love the idea! How does changing the deck height work after the conversion?
We had a 26 inch troybilt that had that set up. They work great unless on a side hill. Do they have a lock to keep them straight if you wanted?
Oh good point! They do come with locking pins for the castors but no way to keep them with the machine when not in use. Gonna have to figure that one out
Now that is a lawn.
3 years later are you still happy with these casters? How does it affect mowing, and adjusting the deck height?
Bro, the gas cap! lol
Great video
Thanks
HEY Randy Thanks for this Information 😎👍🙏
Where Did you Find They off Of Amazon
I just put the link in the description box
@@DulinCutAndTrim Thanks Randy 😊
American made product made in Texas only ships with in USA. I have them on a 21" poulan pro push mower and thoroughly enjoy them. There's one hole on my mower that had to be opened more. Well worth the money
How about heights adjustment. Can you lower or lift it up
Gonna do this to mine. I'm gonna crush yards with this setup lol
I have been looking for inflatable replacement tires for the back and front. This mower is very heavy and it leaves deep groves with the thin wheels. If anyone knows of any let me know.
ty i have a 21 inch exmark that is a beast i gonna give these a try please please fix your gas cap man
Now this is interesting, I didn't know you can get casters for this mower. I wonder if you could put even bigger casters on there 🤔
You can also put a 1 gallon gas tank on these and commercial grade pulleys
@@leadnsteel1428 how or where?
On the newer style mowers a plate has to be made to attach to mower. The people at the company can tell you what to do. Great people to deal with
That's awesome!!! 😎👍
Thanks man
any news on how it worked?
looks like it would be a great improvement to the mower. also looks like it wouldnt be to terribly hard to put a bigger caster on the bracket if you needed bigger wheels.
Yeah the little test drive I did at the end made me feel way more positive about it
Any updates?
This wheel would work on my mower because I have a same mower as you toro timemaster.
I know you’ll get a lot of comments if the casters lock when doing hills and such. Really not an issue since the front end is light enough to pull a slight wheelie to maintain straight lines as you mow across hills.
That’s kinda what I’m thinking. It’s not like my big mower has locking casters and I put it on hills
I would add a straight threaded rod between brackets for additional stability
Where did you buy the pliers?
Could prolly use new grade 5 or 8 bolts not the provided hardware so you can go back stock if you wanted to sell
Where’s the link to get these ?????
Have you removed them yet???
Nice
Maybe you could get some larger casters at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool...
That’s what I’m thinking
Let us know how they work on hills. I may do this to my timemaster.
very cool.... don't forget your gas cap next time ;)
Looks like shopping cart wheels 😂
Lol actually grocery cart wheels would probably work much better
These are more like the wheels on the cart they used to bring in a tv at school lol
@@DulinCutAndTrim 😂😂😂
Cool idea, but I agree with you that they almost look comically small.
Need to clean the Timemaster
Why??? How can that improve maneuverability. The mower is light and easy to handle as is.
No lift turning. It's great for detail work
@@colormesarge That's what weed trimmers are for. I guess whatever floats your boat.
Saves him time not having to lift and turn. Efficiency.
But I wonder how he’ll change his deck height now
Left the gas cap open
Smaller Wheels, negative impact with regards to control on hills along with the necessity to drill new holes in my deck really doesn't motivate me to try this. For other people with flat yards this could be helpful.
Nothing like mowing weeds w a time master !!! 🤦🏼. Get you 24-D or Prodiamine 65 wdg. You’ll be glad u did
Technically the wheels they put on mowers are bigger than they need to be. Probably a looks thing to sell them. Remember when they came out with huge rear wheels on push mowers? That was a joke. Terrible idea. People off-road with theses things or something? Lol One ain't going over 3 inch bumps. Some Riders have much smaller wheels than theses on their deck. And it's not a problem.
Still like them? Ever bend?
To the credit of the designer. Smaller makes it lighter. Easier to handle and push.
wheels are to small for thick grass
Ridiculous, you ruined the best mower in town, for what???? no height adjustment in the front anymore!
@Salmon Silva at 6:20 he demonstrates the height adjustment, I was curious about that too.
@@kr3wchi3f True, the casters have adjustment, BUT he's set them at the highest setting and the rear is only at 2.5". Useless for me, way too short for my grass.
@@kr3wchi3f If the caster adjustment doesn't match the rear settings he'll have a bad cut.
Yeah you just have no idea. Glad you’re not working on my mower
Not sure why but your comment made me literally laugh out loud. Thanks man!
