2Pk 72-312 Anti-Scalp Deck Wheels (5" X 2") Compatible With Craftsman/Husqvarna 165746, 532165746

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 5-inch by 2-inch anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent lawn scalping on uneven terrain. They’re a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 165746 and 532165746, commonly used on Craftsman and Husqvarna zero-turn and riding mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower uses 5” x 2” wheels with a 3/8” axle hole diameter (center hole). These replace OEM part #532165746 (also listed as 165746). They fit many Craftsman, Husqvarna, and some Poulan/Pro models with 42” to 54” decks. Check your deck’s wheel bracket spacing—measure from bracket center to center to ensure the 2” wheel width fits without binding. Not compatible with older 4” wheels or decks using a 1/2” axle.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Hard plastic wheel with a solid rubber tire; durable for residential use but may wear faster on gravel or asphalt.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on—remove the old wheel and axle bolt, slide the new wheel on, and tighten. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The included axle bolts may be too short for thicker brackets; reuse your original hardware if needed. Also, verify the wheel spins freely after mounting—tighten only until snug, not over-tightened.
• Pair note: Sold as a 2-pack; if your deck has four wheels, you’ll need two packs.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman or Husqvarna mower has worn or broken anti-scalp wheels and you want an affordable, drop-in replacement that matches OEM specs, this is a solid choice. Best for flat to mildly bumpy lawns where occasional scalping is an issue.
