Here is a 5-step process to measure your lawn mower wheel to determine the correct Green Gripper size:

  1. Prepare the Mower and Wheel: Park your lawn mower on a flat, level surface and ensure the engine is off and cool. Clean any mud, grass, or debris from the tire and wheel that might interfere with an accurate measurement.
  2. Locate the Outer Edge: Identify the outermost edge of the tire tread. This is the point you will measure from to ensure the Green Gripper fits over the entire wheel.
  3. Measure the Diameter: Using a tape measure, ruler, or calipers, measure the total diameter of the wheel from the outer edge of the tire tread on one side directly across the center to the outer edge of the tire tread on the opposite side. Ensure your measurement goes through the exact center of the wheel hub for accuracy.
  4. Record Your Measurement: Note down the measurement in inches. It’s helpful to measure a couple of times to ensure consistency.
  5. Determine Green Gripper Size: Compare your recorded measurement to the available Green Gripper sizes.
    • If your wheel measures approximately 7 inches in diameter, you’ll need the 7-inch Green Gripper. NOT AVAILIBLE YET
    • If your wheel measures approximately 8 inches in diameter, you’ll need the 8-inch Green Gripper.
    • If your wheel measures approximately 9 inches in diameter, you’ll need the 9-inch Green Gripper.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a front wheel size for your self-propelled lawn mower:

  • Lawn size: If you have a small lawn, you may prefer a smaller wheel size for better maneuverability. For larger lawns, a larger wheel size will provide more stability.
  • Terrain: If your lawn is uneven or has obstacles, a larger wheel size will provide better stability.
  • Personal preference: Some people simply prefer the look or feel of a larger or smaller wheel size.

The most common front wheel sizes for self-propelled lawn mowers typically range from 8 inches to 9.5 inches.

For self-propelled lawnmowers, front wheel sizes usually range from 8 to 9.5 inches. Many brands commonly use 8-inch front wheels. Some larger or sturdier models may have 9-inch or 9.5-inch wheels.

Rear wheels on self-propelled mowers, especially “high wheel” models for rough terrain, can be much larger. They often measure 10 inches or more. This size boosts traction and helps navigate obstacles. Still, your range for front wheels is correct for typical sizes.
