43581 – SCAG Caster Wheel Sleeve (Genuine OEM Part)
The SCAG 43581 Caster Wheel Sleeve is a genuine OEM replacement component engineered to provide proper support, alignment, and smooth operation for the front caster wheel assembly on a wide range of SCAG commercial zero-turn mowers. Installed within the caster wheel assembly, this precision-machined sleeve helps maintain correct spacing between the axle and wheel components, reducing wear while ensuring dependable steering performance.
Manufactured to SCAG's strict OEM standards, the 43581 caster wheel sleeve is built from durable, wear-resistant steel to withstand continuous commercial mowing conditions. Replacing a worn or damaged sleeve helps eliminate excess caster wheel movement, improves steering accuracy, and extends the service life of the caster assembly.
