734-0973 Deck Wheel Compatible with Cub Cad et Riding Mower, 2 Pack 112-0337 Rear Deck Roller Wheels for Cad XT1-LT46 LT1042 LT1045 Craftsman T240 Lawn Tractor, MTD 42" 46" Deck Lawn Mower

What It Is

This 2-pack of 734-0973 deck wheels is a direct replacement rear roller for zero-turn and lawn tractor decks, designed to support the rear of the mower deck and prevent scalping on uneven terrain. It’s commonly used on Cub Cadet XT1, LT46, LT1042, LT1045, Craftsman T240, and MTD 42" or 46" decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check three things:

• Deck size: Fits 42" and 46" fabricated or stamped decks (not all 54" or 60" decks).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces OEM part numbers 734-0973, 112-0337, and 532-112-0337.
• Bracket clearance: Measure the roller slot width (typically 1/2" axle hole) and ensure the 6.5" diameter wheel clears your deck’s rear hanger.
• Brand fit: Confirmed for Cub Cadet, Craftsman, MTD, and some Huskee/AYP models with the same bracket style.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—remove the cotter pin or hairpin clip, slide the old roller off, and slide the new one on. No tools beyond pliers needed.
• Material: Hard plastic wheel with a steel bushing—durable for residential use but not for heavy commercial scalping.
• Common gotcha: Some older decks use a 5/8" axle; these are 1/2". Measure your axle diameter before buying.
• Two-pack: Only the rear rollers are included; front deck wheels (if needed) are a separate part.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 42" or 46" Cub Cadet, Craftsman, or MTD lawn tractor with a worn or missing rear deck roller, this is a solid, affordable fix. The high rating (4.8/5) and easy swap make it a no-brainer for DIY homeowners. Skip it if your deck uses a different axle size or you need a full set of four wheels.
