Parts 4 Outdoor 4Pk Deck Wheel and Hardware Kit Replacement for JD 316 318 400 AM31009 AM32639 AM54223 AM54243 AM116299

What It Is

This is a 4-pack replacement deck wheel and hardware kit designed for select John Deere lawn tractors, specifically the 316, 318, and 400 series. It helps support the mower deck, prevent scalping, and reduce wear on the deck shell during operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model and deck size. This kit fits John Deere 316, 318, and 400 tractors with 48” or 50” decks. It replaces OEM part numbers AM31009, AM32639, AM54223, AM54243, and AM116299. Measure your existing wheel’s bolt pattern and diameter (typically 3” wheels with a 5/16” bolt). This is an aftermarket kit, not OEM John Deere, so check that the included hardware (bolts, washers, lock nuts) matches your deck’s mounting holes. It will not fit decks without pre-drilled wheel mounts or older 200-series tractors.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report these wheels are durable plastic with metal bushings, but they may wear faster than OEM on rough terrain. Inspect for cracks after heavy use.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job—remove old wheel, install new one with included hardware. No special tools needed, but you may need a socket or wrench for tight bolts.
• Gotchas: The included hardware may be slightly shorter than OEM; if your deck has thick mounting brackets, you might need longer bolts. Also, wheels may not spin freely if over-tightened—use a light hand.
• Warranty: No brand warranty listed; check seller’s return policy before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you own a John Deere 316, 318, or 400 with a 48” or 50” deck and need a budget-friendly replacement for worn or missing deck wheels, this kit is a solid value. It’s not built for heavy commercial use, but for residential mowing and light-duty work, it performs well. Avoid if you need OEM-grade longevity or have a non-compatible model.
