What It Is

This is an aftermarket 6-pack deck wheel and hardware kit designed to replace worn or missing anti-scalp wheels on Ariens zero-turn and lawn tractor mower decks. It includes six wheels plus all necessary bolts, washers, and nuts for a complete swap.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct fit for Ariens models: 03905900, 00473800, 06225900, 00473600 – check your deck’s part number on the underside sticker or owner’s manual.
• Deck size: Typically fits 48–60 inch decks, but measure the wheel stud diameter (usually 5/16” or 3/8”) and spacing before ordering.
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Ariens OEM part numbers 03905900 and 00473800, but is aftermarket – not identical to genuine Ariens hardware.
• Check your old wheel: If the wheel has a metal bushing or a specific offset, this kit uses a standard design. Verify bolt length (usually 1–1.5”) matches your deck bracket thickness.
• Not for: Craftsman, John Deere, or other brands without adapter plates – Ariens-specific mounting pattern only.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Wheels are solid plastic, not rubber. They’re durable for anti-scalp duty but won’t absorb vibration like rubber. Hardware is zinc-plated steel – fine for dry conditions, but may rust in wet grass if not coated.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on job – 10–20 minutes. You’ll need a socket wrench and possibly a breaker bar for rusty bolts. No drilling or cutting required.
• Common gotcha: The included bolts may be slightly shorter than OEM on some older decks. If your deck bracket is thick (over 3/16”), buy longer 5/16” bolts separately.
• Pack quantity: Six wheels means you can replace all deck wheels at once – good for decks with 4–6 wheel positions. If your deck has 4, you get two spares.

Should You Buy It

If your Ariens deck wheels are cracked, missing, or worn flat, this kit is a cost-effective fix for the price. It’s ideal for DIY owners who want a quick, direct replacement without hunting down OEM parts. Skip it if you need rubber wheels for rough terrain or want a perfect match to factory hardware – consider genuine Ariens for those cases.
