2 Pack 8" Front Drive Wheel Assembly 734-04018C 634-05039 Replacement - 53-Tooth Walk Behind Mower Wheels Compatible with MTD Troy-Bilt TB200 TB210 TB230, Craftsman, Cub Cadet - Replaces 734-04018A

What It Is

This is a pair of 8-inch front drive wheel assemblies designed for walk-behind mowers with a 53-tooth gear pattern. They provide traction and steering control on self-propelled models, replacing worn or broken wheels on MTD, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Cub Cadet mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Wheel size: Must be 8" diameter. Measure your old wheel’s diameter (not tire height) to confirm.
• Tooth count: Count the teeth on your old drive wheel gear. This set uses 53 teeth. If yours has a different count (e.g., 48 or 56), it won’t mesh with the drive system.
• Model compatibility: Fits Troy-Bilt TB200/TB210/TB230 series, Craftsman walk-behinds with 8" front wheels, and Cub Cadet models using OEM part #734-04018A, 734-04018C, or 634-05039. Check your mower’s model number (usually under the seat or on the deck) against the manufacturer’s parts list.

Note: This is an aftermarket replacement, not an OEM part. It matches the original dimensions but may have slight differences in plastic quality or tire tread pattern.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – typically requires removing a single bolt or clip per wheel. No special tools needed, but a socket or wrench may help.
• Quality: Buyers report good fit and durability for the price. The plastic hub and rubber tire are adequate for residential use but may wear faster than OEM under heavy commercial use.
• Common gotcha: The axle hole size and keyway must match your mower. Measure your axle diameter (usually 5/8" or 3/4") and check if a key is needed. This set works with standard axles, but verify before installing.
• Pair only: You get two wheels, so they’re meant for front wheels on a two-wheel-drive mower. Not for rear or single-wheel replacements.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible MTD, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or Cub Cadet walk-behind with worn or broken 8" front drive wheels, this is a cost-effective fix. It’s a direct fit for common models, easy to install, and rated well by buyers. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider OEM parts for longer life.
