Parts 4 Outdoor 2 Scag Anti-Scalp Wheel Replacement for Turf Tiger Cat Wildcat Cub 481632 10225 Stens 210-033

What It Is

This is a replacement anti-scalp wheel designed for Scag zero-turn mowers, specifically the Turf Tiger, Tiger Cat, and Wildcat models. It prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground, protecting both the grass and the deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these specifics:

• Model fit: Confirmed for Scag Turf Tiger, Tiger Cat, and Wildcat models with 48", 52", 61", or 72" decks. Not universal for all Scag decks—verify your deck size.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Scag part numbers 481632 and 10225, and Stens 210-033. If your machine uses these numbers, it’s a direct fit.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is 4 inches, width is 1.5 inches, and the center hole is 5/8 inch. Measure your old wheel to confirm.
• Mounting: Uses a shoulder bolt (not included) and a locknut. Check that your existing hardware is in good shape; you may need to replace it separately.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Heavy-duty plastic with a metal bushing in the center. Holds up well on rough terrain, but the plastic can crack if you hit a rock or curb hard.
• Installation: Easy—remove the old wheel, slide the new one on, and tighten the bolt. No special tools needed. Takes about 5 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The wheel may be slightly tight on the bolt if your hardware is rusted or worn. Clean the bolt threads or replace them if needed.
• Quantity: Price is for one wheel. You’ll likely need 2–4 for a full replacement, depending on your deck setup.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Scag and your anti-scalp wheels are cracked, worn smooth, or missing, this is a solid, affordable replacement. It’s not the cheapest option, but the metal bushing adds durability. Skip it if you need a wheel for a different brand or a smaller deck—fitment is tight. For most Scag owners, it’s a direct, reliable swap.
