This is a pack of two 8-inch front drive wheels for push mowers, designed to replace worn or broken wheels on select MTD and Troy-Bilt models. They suit residential lawn care, not heavy commercial use.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, check your mower’s model number against these compatible OEM numbers: 734-04018, 734-04018A, 734-04018B, 734-04018C. Fits Troy-Bilt TB240 (model 12AV569Q597) and many MTD-branded mowers with the same wheel design. Measure your current wheel’s diameter (must be 8 inches) and axle hole size (typically 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch). Verify the tire tread pattern matches your deck clearance—these are non-drive, free-spinning front wheels, so they won’t work on rear-drive axles. Check that your mower uses two bolts per wheel (not a single center nut).
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Solid rubber tires with plastic hubs. Acceptable for flat terrain; may wear faster on rough or rocky lawns.
- Installation: Easy—just remove the old wheel, slide on the new one, and tighten bolts. No special tools needed.
- Gotchas: These are non-drive wheels only. If your front wheels are driven (e.g., all-wheel-drive mowers), these will not work. Also, verify the axle spindle length matches—too short and the wheel won’t seat properly.
- Durability: Several users report the plastic hub cracks after a season of heavy use. Consider adding a thin washer between hub and mower frame to reduce stress.
Should You Buy It
If you need a quick, budget-friendly replacement for worn front wheels on a compatible MTD or Troy-Bilt push mower, this is a solid choice. It’s not for rugged terrain or long-term heavy use, but for typical residential lawns, it’s a reliable, easy fix at a fair price.
