Best 8-Inch Replacement Wheels for Push Mowers
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
8 inch push mower wheels are replacement wheels with an 8-inch diameter and a 1/2-inch bore, which fit many walk-behind push mowers and some carts and wagons. Before you buy, match three things: the wheel diameter, the bore (the hole the axle or spindle passes through), and the number of wheels in the pack. This roundup compares eight 8-inch wheel listings from our product data, with the width, bore, count and mower names each listing states, so you can check your mower’s part number against the listing before you order.
Quick answer
- Check the bore first. Every wheel in this roundup lists a 1/2-inch bore, which is the most common size for push mower axles.
- Count the wheels you need. Some packs have 2 wheels and others have 4, so buy the count that matches your mower’s front or rear pair.
- Match the part number. Several listings name OEM or replacement numbers, such as 734-04018 or 583719501. Confirm your old wheel’s number before you order.
- Front drive wheels are different. Some listings are for the front drive wheels of self-propelled mowers, and they include hub and gear details that a plain wheel does not.
How to choose 8-inch push mower wheels
A replacement wheel has to fit the axle, the mounting hardware and the mower’s drive system. Diameter is the first measurement to check, but it is not the only one. Two wheels can both be 8 inches across and still differ in tire width, hub length and spoke-hole spacing. A wheel that is too wide can rub the deck, and a wheel with the wrong bore will not slide onto the axle.
Start by measuring your old wheel. Check the outside diameter, the tire width, and the size of the center hole. Many push mowers use a 1/2-inch axle. If your old wheel has a smaller or larger bore, do not force a fit. Choose a listing with the matching bore instead.
Next, look at the mounting hardware. Some packs include bolts, lock nuts and gaskets. Others include only the wheels. If your old wheel was held by a bolt and a nut, make sure the listing includes them or that you have spares. Many of the listings in this group say they include bolts, nuts or washers, and the counts differ, so read each one.
Finally, check the mower model. Several listings name specific brands or model numbers, including Craftsman, Husqvarna, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Bolens and AYP. Where a listing names a model, use it as a starting point. Compare the listing’s part numbers with the number printed on your old wheel or in your owner’s manual. A generic listing that says “fits most push mowers” still needs the same measurements to be checked.

Where a listing does not state a value, the table says “Not stated.” The Antanker listing gives a tire width of 1.5 inches, and most others give 1.75 inches or 1.7 inches, so check the width if clearance is tight.
The roundup: eight 8-inch wheel listings
Parts Camp 734-04018 front drive wheels, set of 2
This pack is listed as a replacement for MTD and Troy-Bilt front drive wheels, and the title names the 734-04018 series, 734-04018A, 734-04018B and 734-04018C. The listing says the wheels replace those OEM numbers and that the set includes two wheels. It gives the specification as an 8 by 2 wheel size with a 1/2-inch bore. The listing also gives a long list of compatible mower models, including several Troy-Bilt and Troy Built numbers. Because that list is long and partly truncated in the listing, find your own model number in it before you order. This listing is one of the few here that names an OEM part series in its title, which makes it the most direct match for a 21-inch self-propelled MTD or Troy-Bilt mower.
Parts Camp 8-inch lawn mower wheels with hardware
This Parts Camp kit comes with two wheels, two bolts and two nuts. The listing gives a 1/2-inch bore and a spoke-hole width of 1-1/4 inches, with a wheel width of 1-3/4 inches. Its title names Bolens walk-behind mowers, pressure washers, air compressors and carts. The bullets say it is a wheel kit for push mowers and that the set contains two wheels. Because the kit includes the bolts and nuts, it suits a repair where the old hardware is lost or worn. Check the spoke-hole width against your old wheel, since that dimension is what usually decides whether a wheel will sit correctly on the drive.
MOUYAT 8-inch plastic spoked wheel, 4 pieces
This MOUYAT pack includes four wheels. The listing describes each wheel as 8 inches in diameter and 1.7 inches wide, with a centered hub length of 1.3 inches and an inside bearing of 0.5 inch. The hub is PP plastic and the tire is PVC, which the listing says resists wear. The bullets say installation is simple: you remove one bolt to pull off the old tire and slide the new wheel on. The listing names hand trucks and lawn mowers as uses. Four wheels suit a mower or cart that has four wheels, or a project where you need spares. This pack is a good fit when you need more than two wheels in one order.
CheeMuii 2-piece 8-inch wheel kit with bolts and lock nuts
This CheeMuii kit includes two wheels, two bolts and two lock nuts. The listing gives a wheel diameter of 8 inches, a width of 1-3/4 inches, a spoke-hole width of 1-1/4 inches and a 1/2-inch bore. The tread is a mixed pattern that the listing says improves traction, and the tire is PVC, which the listing says is high temperature resistant. The bullets say the wheels suit many standard push mowers, garden carts, wheelbarrows and pressure washers. The listing describes a simple install: remove the hex nut, take off the old wheel, and slide the new one into place. Keep the old hardware for reuse only if it is in good condition.
IHDYPPEW 8 x 1.75 inch wheel kit, 4 pack
This four-pack from IHDYPPEW lists an 8-inch diameter, a 1.73-inch width, a 1.34-inch center diameter and a 0.5-inch shaft hole. The listing says the set comes with screws, and it names a load-bearing figure of up to 176 pounds per wheel. The material is PVC. The bullets say the wheels suit push lawn mowers, wheelchairs and pressure washers. The title says it is a camp push mower wheel kit. Because the listing gives a 0.5-inch shaft hole and not 1/2 inch, measure your axle before you buy, since a small difference can matter on some drives.
GICOOL front drive wheels for Craftsman and Husqvarna, 2-pack
This GICOOL pack is titled as front drive wheels for Craftsman, Husqvarna and HU mowers. The listing gives an 8-inch tire diameter, a 1.75-inch tire width and a 1/2-inch bore. It names replacement numbers including 583719501, 532402657, 194231X460, 532402567, 401274X460, 194231X427, 532403111, 181469 and 180658. The bullets also give a long list of Craftsman model numbers. Because the list runs across several lines in the listing, compare your old wheel’s part number against the replacement list before you buy. This pack is for the front drive wheels, so do not buy it for a rear wheel position unless your part number matches.
Antanker 8-inch universal push mower wheel, 2-pack
This Antanker pack is a universal replacement for push mowers, with two wheels, two bolts, two locking nuts and several washers. The listing gives an 8-inch diameter, a 1.5-inch width and a 1/2-inch hole. It names Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Murray and Powersmart mowers as compatible, and it lists garden carts, wheelbarrows and generator wheel kits as other uses. The bullets describe a solid airless design with a mixed tread pattern. The 1.5-inch width is narrower than most others in this roundup, so it may suit a tight wheel well, but it may not match a wheel that was designed for a 1.75-inch tire.
CheeMuii 2-piece front drive wheels for Husqvarna and Craftsman
This CheeMuii kit is listed as a replacement for several front drive wheel numbers, including 583719501, 532403111, 194231X460, 401274X460 and 532402657. The listing gives an 8-inch wheel diameter, a 1-3/4-inch width and a 1/2-inch bore, and it describes a 1-5/8-inch hub. The bullets say it fits Husqvarna, Poulan and Craftsman push mowers and names several self-propelled model numbers. The listing says the wheels are made of high-strength plastic. As with the other front drive listings, the part number is the deciding factor, so check it before you order.
Review: Antanker 8-inch replacement wheels
The Antanker pack is the most general choice in this roundup. Its listing names five brands of mower, and it gives the widest set of uses: garden carts, wheelbarrows, tillers and pressure washers. Its kit is complete, with bolts, locking nuts and washers, so you can finish the job in one order. The listing describes a solid, airless wheel with a mixed tread, which means no air to lose and no tire to re-inflate.
Its main limit is width. At 1.5 inches, it is narrower than the 1.7 and 1.75-inch wheels in this roundup. A narrower wheel can fit a tight wheel well, but it may sit differently on a drive that was built for a wider tire. Measure the width of your old wheel and compare it with the listing before you buy. The 1/2-inch bore matches most push mower axles, so the bore is less likely to be the problem.
The Antanker listing is a good fit if you have an older mower or a cart and you want one set that covers several uses. If your mower’s part number appears in a front drive listing, the GICOOL or CheeMuii front drive packs are more specific. For a repair where you need only the hardware and the wheel, the Parts Camp kit with bolts and nuts is a close alternative.
FAQ
What size bore do most 8-inch push mower wheels use?
The listings in this roundup give a 1/2-inch bore in most cases. The MOUYAT and IHDYPPEW listings give 0.5 inch, which is the same measurement written in decimal form. Measure your axle to confirm.
Do I need the bolts and nuts?
Some packs include them and some do not. The Parts Camp kit, the CheeMuii kits and the Antanker kit include bolts and nuts. Several other listings include wheels only. If your old hardware is worn, buy a kit with hardware.
How many wheels should I buy?
Buy the number that matches the pair you are replacing. Some packs are for two wheels, others for four. If you need only the front pair, buy a two-count pack. If you want spares, buy a four-count pack.
Are these wheels the same as front drive wheels?
Not always. The Parts Camp 734-04018 listing, the GICOOL listings and the CheeMuii front drive listings are titled as front drive wheels. The other listings describe general push mower or cart wheels. Check the title and the part number before you order.
Can these wheels fit a Craftsman or Husqvarna mower?
Several listings name Craftsman, Husqvarna, Troy-Bilt, MTD and Poulan models. The listings give replacement numbers and compatible model numbers, but the lists are long, and some are cut off in the listing text. Compare your old part number with the list in the listing before you order.
What is the tire width of most of these wheels?
Most listings give 1.7 to 1.75 inches. The Antanker wheel is listed at 1.5 inches. Measure your old wheel’s width to confirm the right fit.
Bottom line
Choose an 8-inch push mower wheel by matching three numbers: the 1/2-inch bore, the tire width and the part number of your old wheel. Pick a count that matches the pair you are replacing. If your mower is a Craftsman, Husqvarna, MTD or Troy-Bilt front drive model, start with the front drive listings. If you need a general replacement for a cart or an older mower, the Antanker or CheeMuii kits with hardware are the simplest choice.
