CUB CADET 734-06265 Wheel Plastic Deck XT1 LT46

What It Is

The CUB CADET 734-06265 is a replacement plastic deck wheel designed for the XT1 LT46 and select other Cub Cadet lawn tractors. It supports the mower deck to prevent scalping and protect the grass during turns.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 46-inch fabricated decks on the XT1 LT46 model.
• Model/brand: Compatible with Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, and some GT series; verify your deck part number.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Cub Cadet part (734-06265), not a generic substitute.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is roughly 4 inches, with a 3/8-inch axle hole. Measure your existing wheel’s diameter, axle hole, and overall thickness to confirm.
• Check: Ensure your deck has a threaded axle stud (not a straight pin) — this wheel uses a bolt-on design.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Durable plastic with a steel bushing; holds up well under normal residential use, but may crack if hitting rocks or curbs.
• Installation: Simple — remove the old wheel, clean the axle stud, and bolt the new one on with a 1/2-inch wrench. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The axle stud can rust or strip; apply anti-seize during install to ease future removal.
• Price vs value: At $11.69, it’s a fair OEM price — aftermarket versions are cheaper but often fit poorly or wear faster.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 or similar model with a 46-inch deck and need a direct OEM replacement, this wheel is a reliable, easy fix for scalping or broken wheels. It’s not for universal use, but if it fits, it’s the right choice.
