Additional information

This axle spacer, part number 731-08181, fits onto the axle to maintain correct spacing between wheels, bearings, or other axle-mounted components. Proper spacing helps keep the axle assembly aligned and allows parts to rotate smoothly during operation.

If wheels wobble, components rub against each other, or you notice uneven wear near the axle, the spacer may be bent, worn, or missing. Excessive side-to-side movement can also indicate a spacing issue.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Slide the spacer into the correct position on the axle and make sure all components seat properly before securing the assembly.
