This 6-pack anti-scalp roller kit replaces the eXmark 116-9981 and Toro 68-2730 OEM wheels. It prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground, reducing scalping and uneven cuts. Designed for zero-turn mowers and wide-area walk-behinds.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Direct OEM replacements for: eXmark 116-9981, 103-4051, 103-3168, 103-5364, 103-7263, 109-2098; Toro 1-603299, 68-2730.
- Check your current rollers: Measure outer diameter (approx. 4.5 inches) and axle hole size (typically 3/8-inch). If yours match, these fit.
- Deck size not a limiting factor—fitment depends on the roller bracket spacing and bolt pattern, not deck width. Verify your deck has 6 rollers (some smaller decks use 4).
- Aftermarket vs OEM: These are aftermarket replacements; quality is consistent with OEM but verify the nylon wheel thickness matches your original (some older eXmark decks use a slightly thinner wheel).
Key Things to Know
- Installation is simple: Remove the cotter pin or retaining clip, slide off old roller, slide on new one, re-secure pin. No tools beyond pliers needed.
- Nylon wheels are durable but can crack if overtightened—do not over-torque the axle bolt if yours uses one (most use clips).
- Common gotcha: The included washers may be thicker than OEM. If the roller binds, remove one washer per side to restore free spin.
- 6-pack covers a full set for most 48–72 inch decks. If you need only 4, buy a smaller kit instead.
Should You Buy It
Buy this kit if you have an eXmark or Toro zero-turn with worn or missing anti-scalp rollers and want a cost-effective, ready-to-install replacement set. It’s ideal for decks that scalp easily on slopes or bumpy lawns. Avoid if your deck uses a different bolt pattern or roller diameter—measure first to confirm.
