EPR 2PK Anti- Scalp Deck Roller Wheel Replacement for Toro 29-4820 05-38SL01 05-38SL02 05-38SS01

What It Is

This is a set of two anti-scalp deck roller wheels designed to replace worn or broken OEM rollers on Toro zero-turn and riding mowers. They prevent the mower deck from scalping uneven terrain by keeping the outer edges of the deck elevated.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number and deck size. This replacement fits Toro models using OEM part numbers 29-4820, 05-38SL01, 05-38SL02, and 05-38SS01. It is commonly used on 38-inch and 42-inch Toro decks (e.g., TimeCutter, Titan, and Z-Master series). Measure the roller shaft diameter (typically 0.5 inches) and the wheel outer diameter (about 4 inches) to confirm match. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Toro, but it is designed to be a direct replacement.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from hard plastic with a metal bushing core; durable for residential use but may wear faster than OEM on heavy commercial jobs.
• Installation: Simple—remove the old roller’s retaining clip or bolt, slide off the old wheel, and press on the new one. No special tools needed.
• Common Gotcha: The included hardware may not match all deck brackets. Check if your deck uses a shoulder bolt or a standard bolt with a nut—some users need to reuse original fasteners.
• Pack size: Comes as a pair (2 rollers), so you can replace both sides at once for even deck height.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, affordable fix for scalping on a residential Toro with a 38- or 42-inch deck and aren’t running a commercial fleet, this is a solid value. It’s not built for extreme abuse, but for the price, it’ll restore proper deck height and save you from replacing the entire roller assembly.
