I have a 2007 Toro 20073 Personal Pace mower with 6.5 hp Tecumseh.
Last night I replaced the transmission assembly and the drive belt. Two years ago the transmission started slipping to the point that it would not engage. I purchased a new "pinion" gear and new "ring" gear and installed them in the transmission. I essentially rebuilt the transmission, but the bearing that supports the "pinion" gear was worn and had play. The old "pinion" and "ring" gears were essentially smooth with all of the teeth ground off.
So, I extended the life of that worn out transmission by two years. Not bad. It was starting to slip again, especially when using the bag (but I rarely use the bag.) I went ahead and bought a new transmission and swapped it out. The bearings that support the "pinion" gear in the old transmission were absolutely terrible with a whole lot of slop. Surprisingly, the gears were not worn too bad. Plenty of life out of the teeth. I will keep them around as spares. In addition to replacing the transmission and the drive belt, I also replaced the two tiny little springs and the two "keys" for the ratcheting mechanism (parts 14 & 15.) I did not replace the ratcheting gears as they look to be in decent condition.
Anyway, I have no issues with the new transmission. That is not what this question is about.
The question is about the wheels, and in particular, the rear wheels. Although the wheel bolts are tight, the wheels all have a bit of side-to-side slop. The front wheels are a lot better than the rear wheels, but all of them have slop.
The bushings that support the rear axle on either end are not at fault. They are tight. The axle/transmission assembly is held in solid and doesn't move around.
The rear wheels have two pieces. There is the actual wheel (with the drive gear attached) and then there is a sort of "cone" that supports the wheel against the mower. I believe that this "cone" shaped piece is the part that is worn out.
Looking at Toro's online parts search, there are a couple different parts listed for the wheels.

I am not seeing this "cone" shaped piece listed separately. Does anyone know about the part that I am talking about for the rear wheels?
