Anti-Scalp Deck Wheel 4PCS Compatible with Scag Turf Tiger Cat Wildcat Cub Replace Part# 481632, 10225, 210-033

What It Is

This set of four anti-scalp deck wheels prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground, designed for Scag Turf Tiger, Wildcat, and Cub zero-turn mowers. They protect the grass and deck blades by keeping the deck at a consistent height.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your Scag model’s deck size (48”, 52”, 61”, or 72”) and year—most 2000+ models with OEM part #481632, 10225, or 210-033 are compatible. Measure the wheel diameter (stock is typically 4” to 5”), spindle hole diameter (usually 0.5” to 0.625”), and bolt pattern. Confirm your deck has four mounting locations; some older or smaller decks may use three wheels. This aftermarket set replaces OEM parts but may require minor shimming or washer adjustment for perfect fit on non-standard brackets.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Wheels are hard plastic with steel bearings—durable for residential use but may wear faster than OEM on heavy commercial jobs. Inspect bearings for smooth rolling before install.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on; you’ll need a wrench and possibly a socket. No drilling or modification needed for most Scag decks. Takes about 20 minutes.
• Gotchas: Check that the included bolts match your deck’s thread size (typically 3/8”-16 or 5/16”-18). In rare cases, the wheel may sit too high or low—adjust with washers. Avoid overtightening; the wheel should spin freely.
• Price vs. OEM: At $29.99 for four, it’s roughly half the cost of OEM parts, but expect slightly less durability under constant abuse.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Scag zero-turn and want a budget-friendly fix for scalping on residential or light commercial turf, this set delivers solid value. For heavy-duty commercial use or exact OEM fitment, stick with genuine Scag parts—but for most homeowners and part-time pros, these work great.
