3PK 12245 Rotary Anti Scalp Deck Wheels Compatible With Scag 482295

What It Is

This set of three anti-scalp deck wheels (replacement for Scag OEM part 482295) prevents the mower deck from scalping uneven turf by limiting how low the deck can drop, protecting your lawn during mowing on bumpy ground.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM cross: Scag part #482295 fits many Scag zero-turn mowers (e.g., Cheetah, Turf Tiger, Wildcat, Patriot) with 48"–72" decks. Check your Scag model’s parts diagram for 482295.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter ~4.25", axle hole 0.5", overall width ~1.75". If your original wheel matches these, it will fit.
• Aftermarket note: Rotary is a known aftermarket brand—quality is generally good, but verify the axle bolt length and shoulder clearance on your deck. Some Scag decks use a spacer; reuse yours if needed.
• What to check before buying: Confirm your deck’s anti-scalp wheel mounting bracket accepts a 1/2" axle. Measure the distance between bracket arms to ensure wheel width fits without binding.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid rubber wheels with steel bearings. May feel slightly harder than OEM Scag rubber, but durability is fine for residential/commercial use.
• Installation: Easy—remove old wheel, slide on new one, secure with existing bolt/nut. No special tools needed.
• Gotcha: The axle hole is 1/2", but some Scag decks use a 3/8" bolt. If so, you’ll need a bushing or different wheel.
• Wear check: If your old wheels wobble or bearings are shot, replace all three at once to maintain even deck height.

Should You Buy It

If you need a cost-effective replacement for worn Scag anti-scalp wheels and your deck uses a 1/2" axle, this set is a solid buy at $33.93. It’s not OEM, but the fit and function are reliable for most Scag zero-turn owners. Skip it if you need exact OEM rubber compound or your deck uses a different axle size.
