CUB CADET 731-17871 Deck Striping Roller for 19A70061OEM 46" Deck Striper Kit

What It Is

This is the replacement deck striping roller (part 731-17871) for the Cub Cadet 19A70061OEM 46-inch deck striper kit. It mounts to the rear of the mower deck and creates alternating light/dark stripes on the lawn as you mow.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit: Only for Cub Cadet 19A70061OEM 46" Deck Striper Kit – this is the roller piece, not the full kit.
• Deck size: Designed for 46-inch cutting decks. Will not work on 42" or 54" kits without modification.
• Brand: Cub Cadet OEM only. Aftermarket rollers may differ in bracket spacing or roller diameter.
• Measurements: Roller is ~18" wide (fits inside the kit’s frame). Check that your existing bracket pins are not bent or worn.
• What to verify before buying: Confirm you already own the 19A70061OEM kit and the roller is missing or damaged. If you don’t have the full kit, buying just this roller won’t work – you need the mounting bracket assembly.

Key Things to Know

• 1.0/5 rating – Single review indicates possible quality issue (roller may crack, bracket doesn’t hold securely, or it’s a non-returnable wear part). Proceed with caution.
• Installation: Simple – slides onto two existing bracket pins and secures with cotter pins. No tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The roller is plastic and can warp or snap if mowed over uneven terrain or if the deck scalps. Check your deck height setting and avoid hitting curbs.
• Availability: Often backordered. If in stock, buy two – they wear out fast.

Should You Buy It

Only if you already own the 19A70061OEM striper kit and the original roller is broken or lost. For the price, it’s a cheap fix, but the poor rating suggests you may be replacing it again soon. If you don’t have the full kit, skip this and buy the complete striper assembly instead.
