Briggs and Stratton 1714760SM Pack of 2 Mower Deck Gauge WheelL8

What It Is

The Briggs and Stratton 1714760SM is a genuine OEM pack of two mower deck gauge wheels. They prevent the deck from scalping the lawn by riding along the ground and maintaining a consistent cutting height, and are designed for select Briggs & Stratton and MTD-branded riding mowers and lawn tractors.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your machine uses a 3/8-inch bolt hole and a wheel that measures roughly 4 inches in diameter. These wheels are a direct replacement for OEM part number 1714760SM and supersede earlier part numbers 1714760 and 1714760MA. They fit many Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Husqvarna, and Cub Cadet decks built by MTD, but not all—check your deck’s model/serial number against Briggs’ online lookup. They are not universal; measure your old wheel’s center hole and overall diameter to be safe. Aftermarket alternatives exist but may not match the exact fit or durability.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine OEM part with a hard plastic wheel and steel bracket that resists rust and cracking better than most aftermarket options.
• Installation: Easy—remove the old wheel’s bolt, slide on the new wheel, and tighten. No special tools required. Takes about 10 minutes per wheel.
• Gotcha: The wheel is not adjustable for height; it’s a fixed-position gauge wheel. If your deck has an adjustable slot, you’ll need a different part.
• Compatibility: Works only with decks that have a single-bolt mounting flange. Some decks use a pin or clip instead.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid buy if you need a direct, hassle-free replacement for a worn or broken gauge wheel on a compatible MTD/Briggs tractor deck. The price is fair for genuine OEM quality, and the high rating reflects reliable fit and performance. Skip it if your deck requires adjustable or larger wheels, or if you’re looking for a universal part.
