What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement deck wheels (OEM part 734-0973) with bolts, designed to support the rear of a riding mower deck and prevent scalping on uneven terrain. It’s for MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman tractors with 38–46 inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Deck size: Fits 38", 40", 42", and 46" decks, but measure your existing wheel’s mounting hole spacing (typically 2.5” center-to-center) and wheel diameter (usually 4”).
• Model examples: Works on Cub Cadet XT1-LT42, XT2-LX46, LTX1045, LTX1040; Troy-Bilt TB1942; Craftsman T240. Not universal—check your mower’s model number against the seller’s list.
• OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements for MTD OEM part 734-0973. They include bolts, so you don’t need extra hardware.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Sturdy plastic wheel with steel bushing. Holds up well on typical residential lawns, but may wear faster on rocky or very rough ground.
• Installation: Easy—remove old wheel and bolt, slide new one on, tighten. No special tools needed. Takes 5 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The included bolts might be slightly shorter than OEM on some decks. If yours uses a thick frame, check bolt length (usually 1.5”) before installing.
• 2-pack: Only covers one side (left or right rear). If you need both rear wheels, buy two packs.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible MTD-style tractor and your rear deck wheel is worn, cracked, or missing, this is a solid, affordable fix. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use, but for residential mowing, the price and rating make it a no-brainer. Just confirm your deck size and bolt pattern.
