8-Inch Front Drive Wheel for MTD 734-04581 634-0190A Replacement for Craftsman Huskee Yard Machines Walk-Behind Lawn Mower Parts (1/2" Bore), 2 Pack

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of 8-inch diameter front drive wheels designed for walk-behind lawn mowers with a 1/2-inch bore axle. It replaces OEM part numbers MTD 734-04581 and 634-0190A, and is intended for use on MTD-built mowers including Craftsman, Huskee, and Yard Machines models with front-wheel drive systems.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm:

• Axle size: The bore is 1/2 inch—measure your current wheel’s center hole with a caliper or ruler. If your axle is 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch, this won’t fit.
• Wheel diameter: Must be exactly 8 inches. Measure your old wheel from outer edge to outer edge (not tire tread if worn).
• Drive system: This wheel has a metal hub with drive lugs for front-wheel-drive mowers. It will not work on rear-wheel-drive or push mowers.
• Deck size & model: Common on mowers with 21–22-inch decks. Check your model number against MTD, Craftsman, Huskee, or Yard Machines lists that include these OEM part numbers. Not universal—verify with your mower’s parts diagram.

Key Things to Buy

• Quality: Solid rubber tire with a plastic hub. Adequate for residential use, but not heavy-duty for commercial or rough terrain. Some users report the tire separates from the hub after heavy use.
• Installation: Easy—remove the old wheel’s cotter pin or clip, slide the wheel off, and reverse. No special tools needed. Ensure the drive lugs align with the mower’s drive gear.
• Common gotchas: The wheel may be slightly tight on some axles; sand or file the bore lightly if needed. Check that the included axle cap or washer fits your mower—some users report missing hardware in the pack.
• Pack size: Sold as a 2-pack, so you replace both front wheels at once—recommended to maintain equal traction and height.

Should You Buy It

If you have a front-wheel-drive MTD/Craftsman/Huskee mower with a 1/2-inch axle and need a budget-friendly, easy-to-install replacement for worn or broken front wheels, this 2-pack is a solid choice for residential lawns. Skip it if you need heavy-duty or commercial-grade wheels, or if your mower uses a different bore size or drive system.
