2PCS Lawn Mower Deck Wheels Kit, Mower Anti Scalp Deck Wheels Replace for Bad Boy 022-5234-98 Exmark 103-4051 103-7263 & Many Bore 5/8" Wheel Size

What It Is

This is an aftermarket pair of anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent the mower deck from digging into turf on uneven ground. It replaces OEM parts for select Bad Boy and Exmark zero-turn mowers, with a 5/8-inch bore and wheel size suitable for most residential and commercial decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model uses a 5/8-inch bore (measure the axle or spindle pin diameter). These wheels directly replace Bad Boy 022-5234-98 and Exmark 103-4051 / 103-7263. They fit many 48–72-inch decks, but check your deck’s mounting bracket spacing—the wheel diameter is roughly 4–5 inches, so ensure clearance for rotation. Aftermarket parts may vary slightly in rubber durometer (hardness) or bearing quality compared to OEM. If your mower has a different bore (e.g., 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch), these won’t work without a bushing or adapter.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report these are durable for residential use; commercial operators may prefer OEM for longer wear under heavy daily use.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on—remove the old wheel, slide this on, and secure with the existing cotter pin or retaining clip. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The wheel may be slightly wider than OEM, so double-check that the mounting bracket’s fork gap accommodates the thickness. Some users add a washer if it’s too tight.
• Anti-scalp benefit: These reduce scalping on slopes and dips, but if your deck is set too low, they may not prevent all contact—adjust deck height properly.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Bad Boy or Exmark zero-turn with a 5/8-inch axle and want a cost-effective fix for worn or missing anti-scalp wheels, this kit is a solid choice for residential mowing. Commercial operators on heavy-duty terrain may want OEM for longevity, but for the price, it’s a reliable upgrade that gets the job done.
