New OEM Cub Cadet Yanmar SC2400 SC2450 Anti-Scalp Deck Wheel 734-04314

What It Is

This is an OEM anti-scalp deck wheel (part number 734-04314) designed for Cub Cadet Yanmar SC2400 and SC2450 sub-compact tractors. It prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground, protecting grass and the deck itself.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit: Cub Cadet Yanmar SC2400 and SC2450 only. Not compatible with other Cub Cadet or Yanmar models without modification.
• Deck size: Fits 54-inch and 60-inch mid-mount mower decks on these tractors.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Cub Cadet OEM part (OEM number 734-04314). Aftermarket versions may vary in wheel diameter, bearing quality, or bolt pattern.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is approximately 4 inches; check your existing wheel for wear or damage and confirm bolt hole spacing (typically 2.5 inches center-to-center) before ordering.
• What to inspect: Verify your current wheel’s mounting bracket is intact and not bent. The wheel itself often fails first, but the bracket is sold separately.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM construction uses a solid rubber tire on a steel rim with sealed bearings. Lasts significantly longer than cheap aftermarket wheels.
• Installation: Straightforward—remove one bolt, swap the wheel, and tighten. No special tools needed. Takes about 5 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The bolt and nut are often rusted or seized. Have a penetrating oil (like WD-40) and a breaker bar ready. Replace the hardware if it’s corroded.
• Quantity: Price listed is for a single wheel. A full set for a 54” or 60” deck requires 4 wheels (two per side).

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet Yanmar SC2400 or SC2450 and need a direct, durable replacement for a worn or broken anti-scalp wheel, this OEM part is the right choice. It’s a simple fix that prevents turf damage and extends deck life. For other models, look up your specific part number first.
