Lawn Mower Deck Wheels 4 Pack 5" Anti Scalp Deck Wheels Kit Replace for John Deere AM116299 AM125172 AM133602 M111489 Replace for MTD 734-04039 753-04856 734-3058

What It Is

This is a 4-pack of 5-inch anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent the mower deck from gouging into the turf on uneven ground. They are a direct-fit replacement for several John Deere and MTD models, commonly used on 42" to 54" residential zero-turn and riding mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• OEM Cross-References: Fits John Deere AM116299, AM125172, AM133602, M111489; MTD 734-04039, 753-04856, 734-3058.
• Wheel Size: 5" diameter (includes tire and hub). Verify your old wheel measures the same.
• Bolt Pattern: Uses a 3/8" or 5/16" shoulder bolt (not included). Measure the hole in your existing wheel bracket—most are 0.38" to 0.44".
• Deck Compatibility: Works on most John Deere 100/300 series, X300/X500 series, and MTD-built decks (Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines) with standard anti-scalp brackets. Not for decks with proprietary offset brackets.
• Aftermarket Note: These are aftermarket parts, not OEM. They fit the same bolt pattern and height but may have slightly different tire tread or plastic composition.

Key Things to Know

• Installation Difficulty: Easy—remove one bolt per wheel, swap, and retighten. No drilling or modification needed if your bracket is standard.
• Quality: Solid for the price. The plastic hub and rubber tire hold up well on residential lawns, but don’t expect heavy-duty commercial durability.
• Common Gotcha: If your old wheels used a shoulder bolt with a specific collar, reuse that bolt—these wheels may have a slightly thicker hub requiring the same bolt length (usually 1.5" to 2").
• Anti-Scalp Adjustment: After installing, adjust wheel height so they sit 1/4" to 1/2" off the ground when the deck is at your normal cutting height. Too low and they dig in; too high and they don’t prevent scalping.

Should You Buy It

If you have a John Deere or MTD riding mower with worn, cracked, or missing anti-scalp wheels and want a budget-friendly fix, this 4-pack is a solid choice. It’s easy to install and restores proper deck float on uneven terrain. Skip it if you need OEM-branded parts or have a commercial mower with non-standard bracket spacing.
