Does this mower have ball bearing wheels and is the self propel single speed or variable speed?

I don't know whether the wheels have ball bearings. The self propel is single speed, pretty quick walking speed, with both front wheels engaged.

Hi no worries, this mower does not have ball bearing wheel, the wheels have sort of groves that fit in the arm where the wheel is attached to and turns when the motor is running. It is a single speed.

Single speed self-propelled. Didn't look at the wheels. I'm getting along fine with mine.

Here's what the owners' manual says concerning wheel bearings: IMPORTANT:DO NOT OIL OR GREASE PLASTIC WHEEL BEARINGS. VISCOUS LUBRICANTS WILL ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT THAT WILL SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE SELF-LUBRICATING BEARINGS. IF YOU FEEL THEY MUST BE LUBRICATED, USE ONLY A DRY, POWDERED GRAPHITE TYPE LUBRICANT SPARINGLY. There is a slight variation on ground speed depending on how hard you squeeze the handle, but not much. Just lifting the front wheels a bit will enable you to walk at your own pace with the mower. All in all agood mower.

Of course it has wheels on back. It is not self propelled. You have to push it but, if is so light weight you won't mind it at all.

it is a one lever system, very easy and not like other mowers. simplest i have seen.

Yes it is variable speed. There is a dial on the tool that allows you to choose between 1-6, I believe. (l don't have it in front of me) If memory serves, I believe the dial is on the handle near the cord outlet of the tool.

The self propelled mower takes a car type battery is heavy and takes a long time to charge.I think this one is a better value for the motor alone even though one of the batteries is just 2Ah.also not self propelled.GreenWorks 2500502 DigiPro G-MAX 40V Cordless Lawn Mower, 19-Inch

Mower free wheels just fine when self propelled mech is not engaged. Forward or backward. No fight required.

It's variable speed. Ull love the power this thing has. It will snap bolt heads off. It has a dial to back off the tourqe . It's a very powerfull drill. It will also drill steel.

No it is not variable speed. There is an on/off switch on top of the housing just behind the front handle. One speed!

Yes, the wheels are the same; front & back. The drive gears on the mower are not on the wheel itself but on the mower.

Randy I bought two of these wheels about 18 months ago for a small lawn cart. I just went check to be certain and the ones I got were definately a tube type tire mounted on one piece steel wheel.The wheel has bearings and a grease zerk too. Hope this helps!

Yes these have the bearings. Just take your old wheels off and slip these babies back on you are good to go. I can't believe how expensive they were where I bought my lawn mower. (local mower shop) These work great. I am sure they came from china because they had a funky plastic smell, but at half the cost of my local mower shop I don't care. I mowed all last season and have had no problems. They are really not made any better than the stock units, but it doesn't matter. I would buy them again.

The deck is steel and you can use it as a push mower, but only in a flat surface. It's not very heavy or difficult to handle, but if your yard has slopes you are better off using the self propel feature. Keep in mind that it only has 1 speed and it's a little bit faster that what you may expect. I would recommend using the self-propel initially until you get used to the pace. Considering the low price I think it's a good buy.

Sorry Donald S., I have know idea what a 2 cycle engine is. It seems to work pretty good though. One of my guy friends fixed the wheel for me so that turned out good. I have about a half acre to mow and it plows right through the grass with no problem. It seems to be pretty good on gas too. If it weren't self propelled though, I would never be able to finish the lawn. The key starter works like a charm too. Sorry I can't help you more.

Not sure about the deck, but it is a very light mower to push without power, although the variable self propel is nice. I really like it for the price.

No, these have no ball bearings or any kind of bearings, it it's just a bushing, the handles are bushings so the wheels and their axis rotate freely. The important fact is the wheels are smooth and very light.

This mower is not self propelled, it isn't very heavy but I'm 6'4 and in my 30's. I definitely would go with something self-propelled but they usually cost more. I am happy with this mower, works great and lasts way longer than expected. I think the "Greenworks 25272 36V Lead Acid Cordless 19'' Self-Propelled Mower" would be good for you. It's definitely lighter than mine and the lead acid battery is great (what I have that lasts really long)... Plus it's self-propelled. Hope this helped.
