My local ACE hardware has hard black plastic
(ABS or Delran) roller that work fine for years after minor modification.
They are not solid; just a simple molded part. The hole size is too small;
you get to drill it out. Being plastic, you get to drill it out OVERSIZE
as it keeps collapsing back down, but when you are done they work fine.
They are a lot lighter than the others, and that may help the lift a little
too.

I'm looking for the 5 (actually need 15) trailing roller wheels for the 42"
front-mount mowers. I think I'd prefer wood, as the rubber ones I bought
through this site in the Spring completely disintegrated in all of 20 hours of
mowing. Local and regional Toro dealers/distibutors say you can't get
them....I'm almost ready to turn some hickory on the lathe.
Thanks,
Tom
