2PK EPR Deck Wheels for Cub Cadet LT48 GT42 GT46 GT48 GT54 44A 50A 703-1890 703-1890A 903-1890

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) deck wheels designed to replace the front or rear gauge wheels on select Cub Cadet and MTD-brand lawn tractors. They help prevent scalping and stabilize the cutting deck on uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct OEM replacements for Cub Cadet part numbers 703-1890, 703-1890A, and 903-1890.
• Fits these models: LT48, GT42, GT46, GT48, GT54, and 44A/50A deck series.
• Check your deck size: Works on 42–54 inch stamped or fabricated decks with a 3/8” shoulder bolt mount.
• Aftermarket fit: Also compatible with MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman tractors using the same OEM bracket pattern.
• Measure before buying: Confirm the wheel stud hole diameter (0.375” / 3/8”) and overall wheel diameter (approx. 6.5”). Deck wheel brackets must be present and undamaged.

Key Things to Know

• EPR rubber is durable – resists cracking from UV and ozone better than standard plastic wheels, but still soft enough to avoid damaging turf.
• Installation is easy – uses a single 3/8” bolt and lock nut. No special tools needed. Torque to 15–20 ft-lbs; over-tightening can crack the wheel hub.
• Common gotcha: If your old deck wheels used a 5/16” bolt, these won’t fit without a bushing. Check your existing bolt size before ordering.
• Sold as a pair – you’ll need two sets (4 wheels) for both front and rear positions on most decks.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible Cub Cadet or MTD tractor and your current deck wheels are cracked, worn flat, or missing, this is a solid, affordable fix. The high rating (4.9/5) and durable rubber make it a better choice than generic plastic wheels for mowers with heavy use or rough terrain. Just verify your bolt size and bracket condition before ordering.
