Parts Camp Front Drive Wheels MTD/Troy-Bilt 734-04018, 734-04018A, 734-04018B, 734-04018C lawnmower wheels (set of 2)

What It Is

This is a set of two front drive wheels for MTD and Troy-Bilt lawn tractors, designed to replace worn or broken wheels on models that use a front-wheel-drive system. They fit push mowers and riding mowers where the front wheels handle traction and steering.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (not just brand) and check the original wheel part numbers: 734-04018, 734-04018A, 734-04018B, or 734-04018C. These wheels are aftermarket replacements compatible with many MTD and Troy-Bilt models, including Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Bolens variants. Measure the wheel diameter (typically 6-7 inches) and axle hole size (usually 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch). Confirm your deck size and mower series (e.g., 400, 500, 600 series) via the manufacturer’s parts lookup. Avoid assuming fitment based on brand alone—cross-reference your mower’s OEM part number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report durable rubber and plastic construction, but the tires are not pneumatic—they’re solid or semi-pneumatic, so no air pressure maintenance needed.
• Installation: Usually a 10-minute job with basic hand tools (socket wrench, possibly a puller). The axle pin or cotter pin may require a bit of force to remove.
• Common gotchas: The axle hole can be tight on some models; you may need to file or ream it slightly. Also, check if your mower uses a keyed axle (these wheels are typically non-keyed).
• Warranty: Aftermarket parts may not have the same warranty as OEM, but this set is backed by a 30-day return policy.

Should You Buy It

If your MTD/Troy-Bilt front drive wheel is cracked, worn, or missing tread, this set is a solid, budget-friendly replacement. It’s best for DIY repairs on older or mid-range mowers where OEM parts are pricey or hard to find. Avoid if you need exact OEM fitment for a high-end model or require a keyed axle wheel.
