Agri-Fab Wheel & Tire Assembly Set of 2 (40987) for 44-inch Tow-Behind Sweepers — OEM-fit, Pre-assembled

These two OEM-style wheel and tire assemblies replace worn or damaged wheels on Agri-Fab and compatible Craftsman tow-behind lawn sweepers to restore smooth rolling and reliable lawn pickup.

If your 44" tow-behind lawn sweeper or compatible Craftsman model is dragging, skipping, or leaving gaps in pickup, worn wheel bearings or cracked tires are often the cause. The Agri-Fab Craftsman Wheel & Tire Assembly Set of 2 (part number 40987) is designed to be a straightforward swap for many Agri-Fab and Craftsman lawn sweepers, including the 44" models referenced by related part numbers. Replacing both wheels at once helps maintain even contact with the turf and consistent brush engagement so the sweeper collects grass clippings, leaves, and debris more efficiently.

How do these replacement wheels improve sweeper performance?

New wheels reduce wobble, lower rolling resistance, and restore correct camber so the sweeper brushes meet the ground uniformly. That steady contact improves pickup and reduces strain on the sweeper frame and hitch.

• Replaces worn bearings and cracked tires that cause vibration.
• Restores even brush pressure across the full 44" sweeper width.
• Smooth rolling reduces operator effort and tug on the towing lawn tractor.

Are these wheels compatible with my Craftsman or Agri-Fab lawn sweeper?

These assemblies are made to match the fittings and dimensions used on many Agri-Fab 44" sweepers and compatible Craftsman models; verify fit by checking part number 40987 against your owner’s manual. Compatibility is most likely when your sweeper uses the same axle diameter and hub pattern.

• Intended for 44" tow-behind sweepers and similar Craftsman models.
• Check axle diameter and hub bolt pattern before purchase.
• Contact manufacturer support with your sweeper model number for confirmation.

What is included and how easy is installation?

You receive two complete wheel-and-tire assemblies ready to mount; they arrive pre-assembled to minimize fuss. Installation typically requires basic hand tools and about 20–40 minutes, depending on access to the axle and any retaining hardware.

• Set of 2 complete assemblies — no tire mounting required.
• Simple bolt-on installation; reuse existing axle hardware if serviceable.
• Basic tools: wrench set, possibly a hammer or mallet to seat bearings.

Who this is for: This replacement wheel set is ideal for homeowners and lawn care pros who own a 44" Agri-Fab or compatible Craftsman tow-behind lawn sweeper and want a fast, reliable way to restore rolling performance and debris pickup. Choose this kit if you notice uneven sweeping, wobbling wheels, flat spots, or cracked tires and prefer a ready-to-install assembly to a tire-and-rim separate purchase.
