Slother Mower Anti-Scalp Deck Wheel Kit 5/8" Bore 4-Pack — OEM Fit, 5x2.75in Wheels

Slother's 5/8" mower anti-scalp deck wheel kit is a direct-fit replacement set of four deck wheels, bolts, and nuts engineered to prevent deck scalp on a wide range of zero-turn and tractor mower decks.

If your mower deck is leaving divots, dragging, or showing uneven cut height because worn or missing deck wheels let the blade housing contact the turf, this kit restores the correct deck clearance. Each wheel is sized to OEM-equivalent dimensions, built from durable materials, and supplied with the hardware needed for a straightforward swap—no custom machining required.
