8TEN Deck Wheel Kit for Cub Cadet MTD Troy Bilt RZT SX LX 50 Ultima ZT1 ZT2 54 Mustang XP CZTL50 734-04155 753-04856A

What It Is

This 8TEN deck wheel kit replaces the OEM anti-scalp wheels on select Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt zero-turn mowers with 50- or 54-inch fabricated decks. It prevents the deck edges from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these three things before buying:

• Deck size & model: Fits Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 50, ZT2 54, RZT SX 50, LX 50, and Troy-Bilt Mustang XP 50/54. Also fits MTD 50/54-inch fabricated decks (not stamped decks).
• OEM part numbers: Replaces 734-04155 and 753-04856A. If your mower uses different OEM numbers (e.g., 734-04156), this kit won’t fit.
• Physical check: Measure the mounting hole spacing (center-to-center) – should be 3.5 inches. Wheel diameter is 8 inches. If your deck has a 4-inch spacing or uses 10-inch wheels, this kit won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: 8TEN’s wheels are plastic with a metal bushing. They’re durable enough for residential use but may wear faster than OEM steel-hub wheels under heavy commercial use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – just remove the old bolt, slide the wheel bracket over the deck stud, and tighten the included lock nut. No drilling or modification needed.
• Common gotcha: The kit includes four wheels, but some mowers only need two (front of deck). Extra wheels are fine as spares, but verify your deck’s anti-scalp wheel count before installing all four.
• Hardware note: Bolts and nuts are included, but the kit does not come with washers. If your deck studs are worn or oversized, add flat washers to prevent wheel wobble.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you have a compatible Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt ZT with a 50- or 54-inch fabricated deck and want an affordable, easy-to-install replacement for worn anti-scalp wheels. Skip it if you need steel-hub wheels for heavy commercial use, or if your deck uses a different bolt spacing or OEM part number – in those cases, stick with OEM or measure carefully first.
