MTD Genuine Parts 753-08175 8" x 2" Wheel Assembly, Black

What It Is

This is an OEM replacement wheel assembly for MTD-branded lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, and riding mowers. It includes the tire, rim, and axle bushing pre-assembled for direct swap-in installation.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact dimensions: 8-inch diameter, 2-inch width (tire size 8x2.00). Measure your old wheel’s outer diameter and width before ordering.
• Axle hole: Typically fits a 5/8-inch axle (common on MTD/Cub Cadet/Troy-Bilt riders). Confirm your axle diameter; if it’s 3/4-inch, this wheel won’t fit without a bushing adapter.
• Deck clearance: Check that an 8-inch wheel clears your mower deck at full turn. Some compact riders require a 7-inch wheel.
• Brand fit: Designed for MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. Not guaranteed for Ariens, John Deere, or Husqvarna—verify model number cross-reference.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine MTD, not an aftermarket clone. Aftermarket wheels may have different hub offset or bushing size—stick with OEM for guaranteed fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—remove the old wheel’s cotter pin or retaining clip, slide off, slide on new wheel, and re-pin. No tire mounting or balancing needed.
• Quality: Solid rubber tire on a steel rim. Not flat-proof foam—will go flat if punctured. The black finish resists rust but can chip over time.
• Common gotcha: The pre-installed bushing may need to be swapped if your axle uses a different inner diameter. Check the bushing ID before forcing onto axle.
• Weight rating: Supports standard residential mower loads (up to ~300 lbs per wheel). Not for heavy commercial decks or zero-turn machines with large rear tires.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a worn or flat 8x2 wheel on an MTD-family riding mower and want hassle-free, bolt-on fit. Skip it if your mower uses a non-MTD axle size, requires a flat-free tire, or needs a different diameter.
