This DICMIC 6-piece anti-scalp deck wheel kit prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground. Designed for zero-turn mowers, it replaces worn or missing factory wheels to protect your lawn from scalping.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, check these specifics:
- Bore size: 5/8". Measure your existing wheel bore or spindle diameter—this kit only fits 5/8" axles.
- Deck compatibility: Confirmed fit for Bad Boy (OEM 022-5234-98) and Exmark (OEM 103-3168, 103-4051, 103-7263, 1-603299). Also works with many other brands using the same bore and wheel size.
- Wheel dimensions: Outer diameter and width vary—measure your deck clearance to ensure they don’t interfere with blade housing or deck skirt.
- Number of wheels: Kit includes 6 wheels. Verify your deck requires 6 (most zero-turn decks with front and rear anti-scalp mounts use 4–6).
- OEM vs aftermarket: These are aftermarket replacements, not OEM. Cross-reference your OEM part number to confirm exact shape and offset.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Users report durable plastic wheels with smooth-rolling bearings. Some note the mounting hardware (bolts, washers) is basic—consider using your original bolts if they’re in better shape.
- Installation: Simple bolt-on job. Remove old wheel, slide new one onto the axle, and secure with the included hardware. No special tools required.
- Common gotcha: The wheel’s offset or thickness may differ slightly from OEM. Check that the wheel clears the deck edge and doesn’t rub the blade housing when installed.
- Fitment variance: While listed for many models, always measure your axle length and deck hole spacing—some users report needing washers for a snug fit on non-listed decks.
Should You Buy It
Buy this kit if you need an affordable, ready-to-install set of anti-scalp wheels for a Bad Boy or Exmark zero-turn with 5/8" axles, and you’re comfortable with aftermarket parts. It’s a solid value for restoring scalping protection on a mower with worn or missing wheels. Skip it if you require exact OEM dimensions or have a deck with non-standard axle size.
