2 Pack OEM Wheel Bearing Cap John Deere 102 105 LX 255 277 279 288 L 100 110 120 130 LT 150 160 170 180 190 M143338

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of OEM wheel bearing caps (part M143338) designed to seal and protect the wheel bearings on select John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. They keep dirt and debris out, extending bearing life.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your model and deck size before buying. This cap fits a wide range of John Deere models including: 102, 105, LX255, LX277, LX279, LX288, L100, L110, L120, L130, LT150, LT160, LT170, LT180, LT190, and the 100-series tractors. It also fits many zero-turn mowers (e.g., Z225, Z245, Z425, Z445, Z465, Z655). Not all models use the same cap—measure your existing cap’s outer diameter (approx. 1.5 inches) and confirm it matches. If your cap is cracked, missing, or won’t stay on, this is the direct replacement. Aftermarket caps may vary in fit—this is OEM quality.

Key Things to Know

• OEM quality, not aftermarket. These are genuine John Deere caps, so they match factory tolerances and fitment exactly. No filing or modification needed.
• Easy installation. Simply pry off the old cap (a flathead screwdriver works) and press the new one on by hand or with a light tap. No tools required.
• Common failure point. Caps crack over time from UV exposure and heat, especially on older mowers. Inspect both rear wheels—if one is gone, the other is likely brittle.
• Pack of 2 is ideal. Replace both sides at once to avoid future issues. One cap costs about the same as the pair.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere lawn tractor or zero-turn and notice a missing, cracked, or loose wheel bearing cap, this is the correct, low-cost fix. It’s a no-brainer for a quick maintenance upgrade that prevents bearing contamination and wheel wobble. Not for non-Deere machines or different cap sizes.
