Mower Anti Scalp Deck Wheel Kit Set of 4 Compatible with Bad Boy 022-5234-98 Exmark 103-4051 103-7263 & Many Bore 5/8" Wheel Size

What It Is

This anti-scalp deck wheel kit (set of four) prevents the mower deck from digging into turf during turns or on uneven ground. Designed for zero-turn and riding mowers, it keeps the deck floating smoothly, reducing lawn damage.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

• Bore size: These wheels have a 5/8" bore. Measure your existing wheel axle diameter—if it’s 5/8", they fit. If your mower uses 1/2" or 3/4" axles, these won’t work.
• Brand/models: Listed as compatible with Bad Boy (OEM 022-5234-98) and Exmark (103-4051, 103-7263). Also fits many other brands using the same bore and bolt pattern—check your deck’s wheel bracket spacing.
• Wheel size: Overall wheel diameter is roughly 4-5 inches. Measure clearance between your deck and ground to ensure they don’t hang too low or hit the deck shell.

Cross-reference your mower’s OEM part number against the listed ones. If unsure, measure axle diameter and wheel height.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: These are aftermarket replacements. They work well for most homeowners, but the plastic may wear faster than OEM on heavy commercial use.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on—no drilling or modification required. Remove old wheel, slide on new one, secure with existing hardware (cotter pin or clip). Takes ~10 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The included hardware may not match your mower’s axle thread or clip type. Keep your original fasteners handy.
• Set of four: You get four wheels, but some decks only use two. Check your current setup before assuming you need all four.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if you have a Bad Boy or Exmark zero-turn with 5/8" axles and want an affordable, direct-fit anti-scalp replacement for light to moderate residential use. For heavy commercial mowing or decks with odd axle sizes, stick with OEM.
