What's the model #?

It's a GVC 160.

That is the engine number, Tom is asking for the one off the deck.

There are two numbers:
961440002 01
SM2155SP

151162 rear wheel 180769 front
Any dealer that get parts for Sears mowers can get this part as it is built by EHP. Searspartsdirect.com also.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

Any info for the Black Max model 961440005 00 lawn mower offered by Sam's Club?

I went to Black Max' website and they don't seem to offer lawnmowers.

Front wheels are locked up on my Blackmax 961440005. What to do. It's clean & lubed. Thanx

I had the same thing happen, found out my axle rusted up. just remove the wheel nut and pull the wheel off after soaking the axle in penetrating oil, then use a high grit sand paper (i used one of those sponges) and buff the axle, do the same with the inside of the wheel by taking a drill bit that is smaller than the diameter of the wheel hole and wrap it with high grit sand paper. then grease the axle and replace the wheel.

works like new.
