Stens New Drive Wheel 205-704 Compatible with/Replacement for: AYP XT500, XT600 and XT625 180773, 532180773 Black 8x2 0

What It Is

This is a replacement drive wheel for select AYP (American Yard Products) lawn tractors, designed to transfer power from the transmission to the ground. It’s compatible with models like the XT500, XT600, and XT625, and replaces OEM part numbers 180773 and 532180773.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these specifics:

• Model match: This wheel fits AYP XT500, XT600, and XT625 series only. Verify your mower’s model number (usually on a sticker under the seat or on the frame).
• Measurements: It’s an 8x2.0-inch wheel (8-inch diameter, 2-inch width). Confirm your current wheel matches these dimensions exactly.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces AYP/MTD part numbers 180773 and 532180773. If your original wheel has a different number, it won’t fit.
• Deck size not relevant: This is a drive wheel, not a deck wheel. Deck size doesn’t affect compatibility.
• Aftermarket note: Stens is a trusted aftermarket brand. It’s not OEM but meets or exceeds original specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Stens is known for durable, reliable aftermarket parts. Expect solid rubber and a reinforced hub.
• Installation difficulty: Easy. Typically requires removing a cotter pin and washer, sliding off the old wheel, and pressing on the new one. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The wheel may be tight on the axle. Use a rubber mallet or gentle pressure to seat it fully. Don’t force it with a hammer—risk of cracking the hub.
• Check axle size: Ensure your axle diameter matches (usually 5/8-inch on these models). If yours is different, this wheel won’t fit.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have an AYP XT500, XT600, or XT625 tractor with a worn or broken drive wheel and want a reliable, cost-effective replacement. It’s a straightforward swap with good quality for the price. Avoid if your model isn’t listed or if you need an OEM-specific part for warranty reasons.
