I have been dealing with these poorly engineered wheels for 10 years now. I'd lose at least one per year due to their poor quality and have to shell out up to $90 per wheel to get a replacement. In my opinion, Kubota designed this wheel to fail and made it impossible to find any other wheel but theirs to fit.
I scoured the web this month looking for something that might work and eureka! I found a solution! It takes about 20 minutes with a grinder, but that's a small price to pay for this excellent replacement wheel:
6X3.00 MOWER DECK WHEEL 3/4 BORE
I ground the wheel shaft down to fit the 3/4 bore of this wheel. I then slid the wheel on and capped it with the existing cap piece and a cotter pin. The wheel worked ten times better than the original and it's far better made. The best part? It's $12.95 per wheel. You're welcome.
