Finish Mower Wheel for Many Brands and Models 3"x 8.125" 59008700

What It Is

This is a 3" x 8.125" solid rubber tire and wheel assembly (OEM part 59008700) designed for finish mowers—the type used for manicured lawns on zero-turn or tractor-mounted decks. It supports the mower deck’s rear or gauge wheels, helping prevent scalping and maintaining consistent cut height.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these three things:

• Measure your current wheel: The tire is 3" wide and 8.125" in diameter. Verify your deck’s wheel mount bracket accepts this size (common on 48"-72" finish mowers).
• Axle/bearing type: This wheel uses a plain bore (no bearings). It fits a 5/8" axle or bolt. If your mower uses a 3/4" axle or a wheel with bearings, it won’t work.
• Brand/model fit: This part cross-references with many brands—Land Pride (RCA5319), Woods (59008700), Bush Hog, and others. Check your owner’s manual or look up your model number to confirm. It’s an OEM replacement, not a universal fit.

Key Things to Know

• Solid rubber, no flat tires: The tire is solid (not pneumatic), so it won’t go flat from thorns or punctures. It’s heavy—about 5 lbs—and provides good stability on turf.
• Easy installation: No special tools needed. Remove the old wheel’s cotter pin or bolt, slide the new wheel on, and secure. Takes 5–10 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The 5/8" bore is tight on some axles. If the wheel doesn’t slide on easily, lightly sand the axle or apply a little grease. Don’t force it.
• Durability: The rubber compound is hard-wearing but can crack over time if exposed to sun/ozone. Store indoors when not in use to extend life.

Should You Buy It

If your finish mower deck uses a 3"x8.125" solid wheel on a 5/8" axle and you’ve confirmed model compatibility, this is a direct, reliable replacement. It’s especially good for rough terrain or debris-prone areas where pneumatic tires would fail. Skip it if your mower needs a bearing-equipped wheel or a different diameter.
