711-3314A Deck Roller Pin and 731-05679 731-05679B Deck Roller Replacement Parts for Cub Cadet 19A40025 19A40025100 MTD Craftsman Troy-Bilt Yard Man Yard Machines Front Deck Roller PGT9000 247289060

What It Is

This is a front deck roller replacement kit for select Cub Cadet, MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, and Yard Machines lawn tractors. It includes the roller pin (711-3314A) and the roller itself (731-05679/731-05679B), designed to reduce scalping and provide smoother deck height adjustments on the PGT9000 and similar stamped-deck models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model number: This fits Cub Cadet models using OEM part numbers 19A40025 and 19A40025100, plus MTD/Craftsman/Troy-Bilt equivalents with 42-inch or 46-inch stamped decks (common on the PGT9000 platform, e.g., 247289060).
• Measurements: Roller diameter is approximately 3.5 inches; pin length is about 3.25 inches. Confirm your old roller pin and roller match these dimensions.
• OEM vs. aftermarket: This is a direct OEM replacement from Cub Cadet/MTD. If your deck uses a different roller bracket design (e.g., fabricated deck), this will not fit.
• Hardware: The kit includes the pin and roller only. You’ll need a 3/8-inch socket and possibly a hammer to drive out the old pin.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – 15 minutes max. Remove the old pin with a hammer and punch, slide the new roller on, tap the new pin in, and secure with the existing clip or cotter pin (if your deck uses one).
• Common gotcha: The pin can rust in place. Soak with penetrating oil before removal to avoid bending the deck bracket.
• Durability: The roller is hard plastic (nylon composite) – it wears over time but resists cracking better than cheap aftermarket versions. Expect 2–3 seasons with normal use.
• Not universal: Fits only stamped-deck PGT9000 and similar MTD platforms. Do not buy for older Cub Cadet fabricated decks (e.g., 50-inch or 54-inch) – the bracket spacing is different.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a worn or missing front deck roller on a Cub Cadet or MTD PGT9000 stamped deck. It’s a good value at $13.99 with solid reviews, and the install is straightforward. Skip it if your deck uses a different roller design or if you’re looking for a heavy-duty steel roller (this is plastic).
