Set of 6 Lawn Mower Anti Scalp Deck Wheel Kit Compatible with Exmark Bad Boy Lawn-Boy Toro Husqvarna Bunton Ferris Replace# 1716353, 103-3168, 1-603299, 022-5234-98, 1-603299, 1-603299, PL7540

What It Is

This is a set of six anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent the mower deck from scraping or scalping uneven ground, reducing damage to turf. It’s compatible with zero-turn and riding mowers from Exmark, Bad Boy, Lawn-Boy, Toro, Husqvarna, Bunton, and Ferris.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size and mounting pattern. These wheels replace OEM part numbers 1716353, 103-3168, 1-603299, 022-5234-98, and PL7540. Measure the existing wheel bolt hole spacing (typically 2.5 to 3 inches center-to-center) and wheel diameter (usually 4–5 inches). Check that your deck has pre-drilled mounting holes or brackets; some models require additional hardware. Confirm your mower brand and model year—this kit fits many 42–72 inch decks, but not all. For zero-turn mowers, ensure the wheels don’t interfere with the deck lift mechanism.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from durable plastic wheels with steel bearings; rated for residential use but may wear faster on rough, rocky terrain compared to OEM metal versions.
• Installation: Typically bolt-on with included hardware (nuts, bolts, washers). Expect 15–30 minutes per wheel; you may need to drill pilot holes if your deck lacks pre-drilled spots.
• Common Gotchas: Over-tightening can crack the plastic wheel hub. Check that the wheels spin freely after installation—binding can cause scalping. These are a 6-pack; some mowers only need 4, so you’ll have spares.
• Height Adjustment: Many decks require adjusting wheel height to match your cut height (usually 1–2 inches above blade tips). Not all kits include adjustment spacers.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a compatible Exmark, Bad Boy, Lawn-Boy, Toro, Husqvarna, Bunton, or Ferris mower with a 42–72 inch deck and want an affordable, easy-to-install anti-scalp solution for residential use. Skip it for heavy commercial mowing or if your deck requires exact OEM fitment—check your model number first to avoid returns.
