Upgrade Your Front Wheel with the HD Switch Conversion Kit

The HD Switch Front Wheel Bushing to Bearing Conversion Kit is engineered to replace worn bushings and reduce axle wear, while removing the need for constant grease maintenance. Built to HD Switch specifications, this kit brings durable, purpose-built parts to your mower or tractor, helping you enjoy smoother steering and a more predictable front wheel performance.

Key materials and design choices emphasize reliability and heat tolerance.

Premium hub caps and heat-treated hardware round out the construction for long-term durability.

Expanded compatibility means you can fit a broad range of models. It supports wheels with an inside diameter of 1 3/8 inches and an axle outer diameter of 3/4 inches, replacing older bushings and bearing assemblies (536052602 and 536052702 equivalents). Notable model lines covered include GT-series, LGT-series, YT-series, TS-series, and GTH-series, among others. For a complete model list, refer to the item description.
