CUB CADET 734-04263 Caster Wheel ES CC760ES CC760 CC 800 760

What It Is

This is a genuine OEM caster wheel assembly for Cub Cadet CC760ES, CC760, and CC800 walk-behind mowers. It replaces the front axle and wheel unit on the mower deck, providing smooth steering and stable support during use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model number exactly—this part fits Cub Cadet CC760ES, CC760, and CC 800 models only. Check the deck size (typically 21–22 inches on these models) and verify your current wheel assembly matches the 734-04263 OEM number. Measure the wheel diameter (approx. 8 inches) and stem/hub dimensions to ensure compatibility. This is OEM, not aftermarket, so fitment is exact for listed models. Cross-reference your owner’s manual or look for the part number stamped on your existing wheel assembly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Cub Cadet part, so durability and fit are reliable—no wobbling or premature wear like some generics.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing a cotter pin and bolt; basic hand tools only. Expect 15–30 minutes.
• Common Gotcha: The caster wheel may come with a pre-installed bearing, but check if your model needs a separate washer or spacer (often included). If your deck is bent or the mounting bracket is damaged, the new wheel won’t fix alignment issues.
• Price vs. Aftermarket: At ~$50, it’s pricier than generic options, but OEM ensures exact fit and longer life—worth it for frequent use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a CC760ES, CC760, or CC800 and need a direct, no-guesswork replacement for a worn or broken front caster. It’s ideal for users who prefer OEM reliability over cheaper alternatives, especially for regular mowing on uneven terrain. If your deck bracket is damaged, fix that first.
