8TEN Deck Wheel Kit For Ariens Gravely Apex 52 60 Max Zoom 48 PM260Z PM144M PM252M ZT48HD 00473600 03905900

What It Is

This 8TEN deck wheel kit replaces the OEM wheels on Ariens and Gravely zero-turn mowers (Apex 52/60, Max Zoom 48, PM260Z, PM144M, PM252M, ZT48HD). Designed to reduce deck scalping and improve maneuverability on uneven turf.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Deck size & model: Fits 48", 52", and 60" decks on Ariens/Gravely models listed (Apex, Max Zoom, PM series, ZT48HD). Not for 42" or 54" decks.
• OEM part numbers: Replaces Ariens/Gravely 00473600 and 03905900. Confirm your existing wheel bracket or spindle matches these numbers.
• Wheel dimensions: Each wheel is 8" diameter x 1.75" wide with a 5/8" inner bearing. Measure your current wheel’s diameter and axle bolt diameter—if different, this kit won’t fit.
• Bolt pattern: Uses a single 5/8" shoulder bolt per wheel. No special adapter needed if your deck has the same mounting holes.

Key Things to Know

• Solid rubber tires – No flats, but rougher ride on pavement vs. pneumatic wheels. Best for grass/mulch.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – remove old wheel, bolt on new one with included hardware (5/8" bolt, lock washer). No drilling or modification needed on compatible decks.
• Common gotcha: The kit includes 4 wheels, but some decks (e.g., Apex 52) only use 2. Check your deck’s wheel count before ordering.
• Durability: Users report 1-2 seasons with heavy use. Bearing may wear faster if exposed to sand or grit.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Ariens/Gravely zero-turn and need a direct bolt-on replacement for worn or missing deck wheels, this kit is a solid value at $50. Skip it if you need pneumatic wheels for a smoother ride or have a deck size not listed—measure first to avoid returns.
