Abstract
A mower front caster wheel system that includes a caster wheel assembly that rotates about a caster axis, and a stabilizer to be disposed in a bearing housing coupled to a frame of a mower such that a first portion of the stabilizer is in contact with a component that rotates with the caster wheel assembly and a second portion of the stabilizer is in contact with an internal surface of the bearing housing, to provide resistance to rotation of the caster wheel assembly relative to the bearing housing.
