Mower Anti Scalp Deck Wheel Kit Set of 6 Compatible with John Deere AM133602, AM116299, M111489

What It Is

This is a set of six aftermarket anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent the mower deck from digging into turf on uneven terrain. It’s meant for zero-turn and lawn tractors that use the OEM part numbers listed—primarily John Deere models with 48-inch to 60-inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• OEM part numbers – This kit claims compatibility with John Deere AM133602, AM116299, and M111489. Cross-check your machine’s owner’s manual or existing wheel part number.
• Deck size – These wheels are typically used on 48", 54", and 60" decks. Measure your existing wheels: outer diameter should be roughly 6 inches, with a 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch axle hole. If your deck uses a different bolt pattern or smaller wheels, these won’t fit.
• Mounting hardware – The set includes six wheels with brackets and fasteners for most Deere decks, but older or non-standard decks may need different bolts or spacers. Verify the bracket hole spacing matches your deck’s mounting slots.

If your mower is a John Deere X300, X500, or Z900 series with the listed OEM wheels, this is a direct swap. For other brands (e.g., Cub Cadet, Husqvarna), measure carefully—fitment is not guaranteed.

Key Things to Know

• Material quality – Wheels are plastic with steel bearings. They’re adequate for residential use but may wear faster than OEM on rough commercial turf or rocky ground.
• Installation difficulty – Moderate. You’ll need a socket set and possibly a jack to lift the deck. Most models require removing old wheels and brackets, then bolting on the new ones. Expect 30–60 minutes for all six.
• Common gotcha – The included hardware may be slightly longer or shorter than OEM. If bolts bottom out or don’t tighten fully, use washers from your old setup.
• No grease fittings – These are sealed bearings. If you need to lubricate, you’ll have to disassemble the wheel hub, which isn’t designed for it.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere with worn or missing anti-scalp wheels and want a budget-friendly replacement for light residential mowing, this kit works well. For heavy-duty commercial use or if you need exact OEM fit and durability, spend more on genuine John Deere parts.
