What It Is

This is a replacement deck roller kit for mid-size lawn tractors, including the roller (731-05679 or 731-05679B) and the mounting pin (711-3314A). It stabilizes the cutting deck during mowing, reducing scalping and uneven cuts on uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your mower’s deck size (typically 42–54 inches) and model number. This kit fits many Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt tractors with stamped steel decks. Cross-reference with OEM part numbers: 19A40025100, 19A40025, PGT9000, 247.28981, and 247.289060. Measure your existing roller’s outer diameter (usually 4 inches) and the pin diameter (about 0.5 inches). The pin length is approximately 3.5 inches. Verify your deck has a roller mount bracket—some decks use a different attachment style.

Key Things to Know

• Material: The roller is plastic/nylon with a steel bushing; it wears over time, especially on gravel or rough ground.
• Installation: Simple—remove the old pin and roller, slide the new roller onto the pin, and insert into the deck bracket. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The pin can rust or seize. Apply anti-seize compound to the pin before installation to make future swaps easier.
• Quality: Aftermarket part; works fine for most users, but OEM rollers may last slightly longer under heavy use.

Should You Buy It

If your deck is wobbling, scalping grass, or the old roller is cracked/worn, this is a cheap, effective fix. It fits common MTD-family mowers and installs in minutes. For heavy commercial use, consider OEM for longer life, but for residential mowing, this kit is a solid value.
