Husqvarna Part Number 581199701 Wheel 11 x 4-5

What It Is

The Husqvarna 581199701 is an OEM 11 x 4-5 wheel designed for zero-turn and lawn tractors. It’s a drive wheel (not a caster) meant for rear axle use on mid-to-large residential and commercial mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model number: Fits Husqvarna Z242F, Z246, Z254, Z4217, Z4219, Z4227, and many others. Also compatible with some Craftsman, Poulan Pro, and McCulloch models that use the same wheel pattern.
• Measurements: Tire size is 11 x 4-00-5. Bore diameter is 5/8-inch (0.625”). The wheel has a 4-bolt pattern with a 4-inch center-to-center bolt circle.
• OEM only: This is a genuine Husqvarna part. Aftermarket alternatives exist but may differ in tread depth or bearing quality. Check your current wheel’s hub depth and offset to ensure it matches.
• Verify before buying: Remove your wheel and measure the bolt pattern, bore, and tire width. Confirm your mower’s model number in the owner’s manual or parts diagram.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM build with a semi-pneumatic tire (no air, foam-filled) – no flats, but rides stiffer than pneumatic. Tread is mild, fine for turf but less grip on slopes.
• Installation: Easy – remove the axle nut, pull old wheel, slide on new one, and torque nut to spec (typically 40-50 ft-lbs). No special tools needed.
• Gotchas: The 5/8-inch bore is standard, but some older Husqvarna models use a 3/4-inch axle – measure yours first. Also, the wheel’s offset is shallow (approx. 1.5 inches), so check clearance with your mower deck or frame.
• Price vs. aftermarket: At $60, it’s pricier than generic 11x4-5 wheels ($20–$35), but you get guaranteed fit and durability for Husqvarna’s mounting pattern.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a Husqvarna zero-turn or lawn tractor rear wheel and want a no-guess fit. It’s overkill for budget-minded DIYers who can measure and adapt an aftermarket wheel, but ideal for owners who value simplicity and factory reliability.
