CheeMuii 4 Pack Mower Deck Gauge Wheels Kit 2 Pcs 5" Deck Wheels Replace for Cub Cadet 734-04155 and 2 Pcs 4-3/4" Wheel Replace for 734-0973

What It Is

This CheeMuii kit includes two 5-inch gauge wheels (replacing Cub Cadet OEM 734-04155) and two 4-3/4-inch gauge wheels (replacing 734-0973), designed to prevent scalping on uneven terrain and protect your lawn mower deck from scrapes.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your mower’s OEM part numbers: This kit directly replaces Cub Cadet parts 734-04155 (5-inch wheels) and 734-0973 (4-3/4-inch wheels). Verify these numbers on your current wheels or in your owner’s manual.
• Deck size and bolt pattern: These wheels are typically used on 42-inch to 54-inch Cub Cadet decks, but not all models. Measure the mounting bolt spacing (usually 2-3/8 inches center-to-center) and the bracket hole diameter (commonly 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch) to confirm.
• Brand and model: Designed for Cub Cadet, but may fit select MTD, Troy-Bilt, or Craftsman decks using the same OEM parts. Cross-reference your mower’s model number on the manufacturer’s site or with your dealer.
• Height and clearance: The 5-inch wheels are taller and may require adjusting your deck’s height settings. Ensure you have at least 1 inch of clearance between the wheel bracket and the deck shell.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Most users report durable plastic wheels with steel bushings, but some note the brackets are thinner than OEM. Expect a service life of 1-2 seasons under normal use.
• Installation: Easy—bolts directly onto existing brackets using the included hardware. No drilling or modifications needed if fitment matches. Takes about 15 minutes total for all four wheels.
• Common gotcha: The 4-3/4-inch wheels may rub on the deck if your mower’s bracket is slightly bent. Straighten the bracket with pliers before installing.
• Adjustment required: After mounting, set the wheels so they sit 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the ground when the deck is at your normal cutting height. This prevents dragging and extends wheel life.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Cub Cadet mower that uses OEM wheels 734-04155 and 734-0973, this is a solid budget-friendly replacement—especially if your originals are worn or missing. It’s not built like heavy-duty steel wheels, but for residential use on flat to moderately uneven lawns, it offers good value and easy installation. Avoid if you need extreme durability for commercial or rocky terrain.
