This 4-pack of anti-scalp deck wheels prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven terrain. Designed as a direct replacement for OEM wheels on Bad Boy, Kubota, Toro, Exmark, Lawn-Boy, and Husqvarna zero-turn and lawn tractors, it keeps the deck floating at a consistent height to avoid scalping.
Fitment & Compatibility
Check your OEM part number β This kit matches Bad Boy 022-5234-98, Kubota K5351-42110 and K5371-42110, Toro 1-603299 and 68-2730, and Exmark 103-3168. It also fits many Lawn-Boy and Husqvarna models using the same bore size.
Measure the axle bore β These wheels have a 5/8" bore (0.625"). Confirm your deckβs wheel mount (stud or bolt) is 5/8" diameter. If your machine uses a 1/2" or 3/4" bore, these wonβt work.
Wheel size β The 4-pack includes wheels approximately 4" diameter. Verify clearance under your deck and that the wheel diameter matches your original (too large can cause deck height issues; too small may not prevent scalping).
Deck type β Best for 42"β72" fabricated or stamped decks with anti-scalp wheel mounts. Not for walk-behind mowers or decks without wheel brackets.
Key Things to Know
- Quality vs OEM: These are aftermarket replacements. Users report theyβre slightly less durable than OEM in heavy commercial use but fine for residential or light commercial mowing.
- Installation: Simple β remove the old wheel (usually a cotter pin or bolt), slide the new wheel on, and secure. No special tools needed. Expect 10β15 minutes per wheel.
- Common gotcha: Some decks use a shoulder bolt that requires a specific washer stack. If your original wheel had a spacer, reuse it. The included hardware may not match all decks.
- Lubrication: The wheels have plastic hubs. A drop of light oil on the bore before installation reduces wear and noise.
Should You Buy It
If you need a budget-friendly 4-pack to replace worn anti-scalp wheels on a compatible Bad Boy, Kubota, Toro, Exmark, or Husqvarna mower, this is a solid choice for residential or light commercial use. Skip it if you require heavy-duty commercial durability or have a non-standard bore size.
