2 Pack 734-0973 Deck Wheel Replace Cub Cadet 734-0973, 7340973, 112-0337, 734 0973 for Cub Cadet LT1050, XT1 LT46, LTX1045, ZT1, LT42, LTX1046, 32" 38" 42" 44" 46" 48" Riding Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement deck wheels (OEM refs 734-0973, 7340973, 112-0337) for Cub Cadet riding mowers with 32" to 48" decks. They support the mower deck during cutting, reducing scalping and preventing blade contact with the ground.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your deck size first. These fit Cub Cadet models with 32", 38", 42", 44", 46", and 48" decks, including LT1050, XT1 LT46, LTX1045, ZT1, LT42, LTX1046, and many others in the LT, XT, and ZT series. Measure your existing wheel’s outside diameter — these are 6.5" tall — and verify the axle hole is 5/8" or 3/4". The included hardware (nut, bolt, washer) fits most factory brackets, but older brackets may need a separate spacer. Not compatible with zero-turn models using offset wheels or decks over 54". Cross-check your model number against Cub Cadet’s parts site if unsure.

Key Things to Know

• Durability: Aftermarket wheels are hard plastic with a metal bushing. They’re fine for residential use but may wear faster than OEM on rocky or rough terrain.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on — 15 minutes with a wrench. No drilling or modification needed if the bracket is standard.
• Common gotcha: The axle bolt can loosen during use. Apply thread-locker or check tightness after the first hour.
• Deck height: These wheels set the deck’s lowest cutting height. If your mower scalps, adjust the wheel height or check for bent brackets.

Should You Buy It

If you’re replacing worn or missing deck wheels on a mid-size Cub Cadet riding mower and want a budget-friendly, drop-in fix, this 2-pack is a solid choice. It’s not for heavy commercial use or non-Cub Cadet brands, but for weekend mowing on a LT or XT series, it’s a reliable, cost-effective swap.
