8TEN Deck Wheel Kit for Cub Cadet Troy Bilt RZT S50 S42 XT1 LT46 LT42 Mustang XP 42 Super Bronco 46 734-04155 753-04856A

What It Is

This 8TEN deck wheel kit replaces the factory anti-scalp wheels on select Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and RZT zero-turn and lawn tractor models. It helps prevent the mower deck from scalping uneven ground by keeping the outer edges of the deck elevated.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your model and OEM numbers first. This kit is designed for:

• Cub Cadet: RZT S50, S42, XT1, LT46, LT42, Mustang XP 42, Super Bronco 46
• Troy-Bilt: Mustang XP 42, Super Bronco 46
• OEM replacements: 734-04155, 753-04856A

What to verify:

• Deck size: Works with 42" and 46" decks (not all 42" or 46" – confirm your model).
• Bolt pattern: Uses a 5/16" hex bolt (included). Measure your existing wheel bolt diameter.
• Wheel diameter: 6" wheels – measure your current wheel height to confirm fit.
• Mounting bracket: These are direct replacements for factory brackets; if your deck has a different bracket design, they may not fit.

Pro tip: Search your mower’s model number (on the frame or under the seat) plus “deck wheel” to double-check compatibility.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 8TEN is a solid aftermarket brand – metal brackets and durable plastic wheels hold up well to normal use. Not as heavy-duty as OEM steel wheels, but fine for residential yards.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job. You’ll need a 1/2" socket or wrench for the included hardware. No drilling or modifications required on compatible decks.
• Common gotcha: The included bolts may be slightly longer than OEM – use the included lock washers to prevent loosening. Check clearance against the deck belt after installation.
• Set includes: 2 wheels, 2 metal brackets, bolts, lock washers, and flat washers. You get a complete replacement for both sides.

Should You Buy It

If your Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt mower’s deck wheels are worn, cracked, or missing, this kit is a cost-effective fix. It’s especially good for residential users who want to restore scalping protection without paying OEM prices. For heavy commercial use or rough terrain, consider steel wheel upgrades instead.
