(2) Mower Deck Wheels Fits Cub Cadet GT2544 LT1045 LTX1042 LT1046 GT1554 LTX1050

What It Is

These are two replacement deck wheels for select Cub Cadet lawn tractors. They keep the mower deck level and prevent scalping by rolling along the ground as you mow.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model. This set fits Cub Cadet GT2544, LT1045, LTX1042, LT1046, GT1554, and LTX1050. Also check your deck size (typically 42–50 inches) and wheel spindle or bracket design. Measure the wheel diameter (usually 4–5 inches) and axle hole size (often 1/2 inch). OEM part numbers include 718-04079 or 918-04079. Aftermarket versions may have slight color or finish differences but are generally compatible. Inspect your existing wheels and brackets for wear—if the bracket is bent, a new wheel alone won’t fix it.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid plastic with a steel bushing. They hold up well on flat lawns but can crack if you hit stumps or rocks.
• Installation: Easy—remove a cotter pin or bolt, slide the old wheel off, and put the new one on. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The included hardware may not match your tractor. Keep your original bolts or washers if possible.
• Durability: Expect 2–4 seasons of typical use. If your deck scrapes often, these will wear faster.

Should You Buy It

If your Cub Cadet’s deck wheels are worn, cracked, or missing, this is a budget-friendly fix. It’s ideal for homeowners with one of the listed models who want a quick, no-fuss replacement. However, if your deck brackets are bent or rusted, you’ll need those parts too. For the price, it’s a solid value.
