What It Is

This is a replacement front deck roller and pin set for select 46-inch and 50-inch lawn tractor decks. It reduces scalping and protects the mower deck from scraping the ground on uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact models: Fits Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Man, Yard Machines with 46" or 50" fabricated decks. Commonly used on models 19A40025100, 19A40025, PGT9000, and 24728981.
• OEM vs aftermarket: The 731-05679 and 731-05679B are OEM-style replacements. The 711-3314A is the matching pin. Not a genuine Cub Cadet part, but matches factory specs.
• Measurements: Roller is approximately 4 inches diameter, 1.5 inches wide. Pin is 3/8 inch diameter, 2.5 inches long. Confirm your existing roller’s outer diameter and pin hole alignment before ordering.
• Check before buying: Look at your deck’s roller bracket – this roller uses a single pin through the center. If your deck has a different mounting style (e.g., bolt-on or offset bracket), it won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy – about 15 minutes with a hammer and punch to drive out the old pin. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The pin can rust into the bracket. Soak with penetrating oil and use a solid punch, not a screwdriver, to avoid bending the bracket.
• Quality: Solid plastic roller with a steel bushing. Holds up well on residential mowing, but may wear faster on gravel or heavy commercial use.
• Pairing: If replacing one, inspect the opposite roller – worn bearings often fail together. Consider buying two sets.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible 46" or 50" MTD-family deck with a center-pin roller and need an affordable, drop-in replacement, this is a solid choice. It fixes scalping and protects your deck without the OEM price tag. Not for commercial mowers or decks with non-standard roller mounts.
