2 Pack 634-05040 Lawn Mower Wheel Replacement for Craftsman Mowers - 8" Wheel Assembly, Front Wheels Compatible with Cub Cad et, Brute, MTD Gold, Columbia, Yard Man Self Propelled Walk-Behind Mower

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 8-inch front wheel assemblies designed for self-propelled walk-behind mowers. Each wheel includes the tire, rim, and bearing ready to bolt on, replacing worn or damaged front wheels on compatible Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD Gold, Columbia, and Yard Man models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your existing wheel’s outer diameter (should be 8 inches) and confirm the axle hole size (typically 3/8-inch or 5/8-inch on these models). Check your mower’s OEM part number: this 634-05040 replaces Craftsman 634-05040, 634-04191, and MTD 734-04191. It fits most MTD-branded self-propelled walk-behinds with 8-inch front wheels, including Craftsman (e.g., 247.xxxxx series), Cub Cadet (e.g., SC300, SC900), and Yard Man models. Verify deck width (21-22 inch common) is not a factor—the wheels are universal for front position. Avoid if your mower uses a different axle diameter (e.g., 7/16-inch) or has non-standard offset wheels.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Durable 2-ply tires with steel rims and pre-installed bearings; holds up on grass and light gravel but not for heavy off-road use.
• Installation: Simple—remove old wheel clip or nut, slide off, replace, and secure with included retaining clips. No tools beyond a socket or pliers needed.
• Common Gotcha: Some users report the bearings fit snugly on older axles; lightly sand the axle if too tight. Also, check that the wheel hub depth matches your mower’s axle length (usually 1.5-2 inches).
• Pack Size: Two wheels per pack—ideal for replacing both front wheels at once for even wear and stability.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman or MTD-brand self-propelled mower has worn, wobbly, or flat front wheels, this is a solid, affordable direct replacement. It’s best for DIYers wanting a quick fix without special tools, but avoid if you need rear wheels or a different size/axle type.
