2 Pack 8" Lawn Mower Wheels 634-05040 Replacement - 8 x 2 Inch Front Wheel Assembly Compatible with MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Brute, Troy-Bilt Walk-Behind Push Mowers

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 8-inch front wheel assemblies (634-05040 replacement) designed for walk-behind push mowers from MTD, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Brute, and Troy-Bilt. Each wheel is 8 inches tall, 2 inches wide, and includes the tire, rim, and axle bushing pre-assembled.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your existing wheel height and width—8x2 inches is standard, but verify. Check your mower’s brand and model number (on a sticker under the deck or rear flap). This set fits most MTD-built push mowers with a 7/8-inch axle diameter and a 1/2-inch center hole. Common compatible models include Cub Cadet SC900, SC1000; Craftsman 37410, 37420; Troy-Bilt TB130, TB230; and Brute 7800646. Not for zero-turn, riding, or self-propelled mowers with larger rear wheels. If your OEM part number is 634-05040, 634-04050, or 734-04050, these will swap directly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Solid rubber tires with plastic rims—durable for flat lawns, but may crack over time on rocky or uneven terrain. Rated 4.8/5 from 9 reviews, suggesting good reliability.
• Installation: Easy—remove the old wheel’s cotter pin or clip, pull the wheel off, slide the new one on, and re-pin. No tools beyond pliers needed. Takes about 5 minutes per wheel.
• Common Gotcha: The included axle bushing may be slightly tight on some mowers. If it doesn’t slide on easily, lightly sand the axle or apply a drop of oil. Don’t force it—the bushing can crack.
• Price vs. OEM: At $23.99 for 2, it’s cheaper than buying single OEM wheels from a dealer (often $15–20 each). The trade-off is slightly thinner plastic on the rim.

Should You Buy It

If you have a broken or worn front wheel on an MTD-family push mower (Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Brute), this is a solid, budget-friendly replacement. It’s easy to install, well-reviewed, and fits most common models. Skip it if you need a wheel for a riding mower, self-propelled rear axle, or if your axle diameter is larger than 7/8 inch—those require different parts.
