What It Is

This is a 4-wheel anti-scalp deck kit designed to prevent the mower deck from digging into turf on uneven ground. It replaces OEM numbers 116-9981, 103-3168, 103-4051, 103-5364, 103-7263, 103-7363, 109-2098, and 109-9011. It fits select Exmark, Bad Boy, Lawn-Boy, Toro, Husqvarna, Bunton, and Ferris zero-turn and riding mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

1. Deck size & bolt pattern – This kit is for decks typically 42–60 inches. Measure the existing wheel bracket mounting hole spacing (center-to-center) and compare to the kit’s brackets. Most common is 3.5-inch spacing, but verify.
2. Brand & model – Works with Exmark Lazer Z, Bad Boy ZT, Lawn-Boy Insight, Toro TimeCutter/ZT, Husqvarna Z-series, Bunton, and Ferris IS series. Check your mower’s model number against the OEM numbers listed above.
3. OEM vs aftermarket – This is an aftermarket replacement. It uses the same dimensions as OEM parts but may have slightly different paint finish or thread locker. It should bolt on without drilling or modifications.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – Aftermarket kit with solid steel brackets and urethane wheels. Wheels are durable but not pneumatic; expect less shock absorption than OEM rubber wheels.
• Installation difficulty – Moderate. You’ll need a socket set and possibly a torque wrench. Job takes 30–60 minutes. Clearance under the deck can be tight.
• Common gotchas – The included hardware may use metric or SAE bolts; check your deck’s existing bolts before installing. Some users report the wheels sit slightly lower than OEM, so set deck height after installation.
• Not for all decks – Won’t fit decks with integrated anti-scalp rollers or decks under 42 inches unless the bracket pattern matches.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you have a compatible zero-turn or riding mower and need to replace worn or missing anti-scalp wheels. It’s a solid budget-friendly alternative to OEM parts, especially for older decks where OEM availability is spotty. Skip it if you need pneumatic wheels or have a deck with non-standard bracket spacing.
