Murray 1716353sm Gauge Wheel 2.70 Inch

Product Description

The MURRAY 1716353sm is a gauge wheel designed as a direct OEM replacement for Murray lawn and garden equipment. Gauge wheels mount to mower decks and cutting attachments to control cutting height and maintain consistent ground clearance across the mowing surface. This wheel keeps the deck at the correct position relative to the terrain, reducing scalping and uneven cuts. Licensed technicians and equipment repair professionals handle this type of replacement during seasonal maintenance or after wear damage. The nominal wheel diameter is 2.70 inches.

This gauge wheel is intended for use on Murray-branded walk-behind mowers and riding lawn equipment where the original gauge wheel has worn, cracked, or broken. It installs at the outer edge of the mower deck along the wheel bracket or axle pin assembly. Typical applications include residential lawn equipment servicing and small-engine repair shop maintenance jobs where restoring correct deck height is required.

Installation Notes

Gauge wheel replacement is a common small-engine repair task performed by outdoor power equipment technicians. Disconnect the spark plug wire before working under or around the mower deck. The wheel typically secures via a retaining clip or axle bolt; use standard hand tools and inspect the mounting bracket for wear while the wheel is off. Confirm the replacement wheel seats fully and rotates freely before returning the unit to service.
