2 Pack GX10168 Deck Wheels Replace John Deere GX10168 Gauge Wheels for John Deere 115 D100 D105 D110 D130 D140 D160 D170 L100 L110 L120 L130 LA115 LA135 LA145 Z345R Z355E Z425 Z445 Z540M Deck

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket GX10168 gauge wheels designed to replace worn or broken deck wheels on select John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers. They help prevent scalping by keeping the mower deck level across uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

1. Model list – Fits John Deere 115, D100–D170, L100–L130, LA115–LA145, and Z-series zero-turns (Z345R, Z355E, Z425, Z445, Z540M). Not all Deere decks use the same wheel; cross-check your deck model (e.g., 42-inch, 48-inch) against the GX10168 part number.
2. OEM vs aftermarket – This is a direct replacement for OEM John Deere GX10168. Measure your old wheel’s outside diameter (should be ~6 inches) and axle hole size (~0.5 inch) to confirm.
3. Quantity – Pack is 2 wheels. Most decks use 2 gauge wheels, but some zero-turns require 4. Check your deck’s configuration.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – Solid aftermarket build with durable plastic and smooth-rolling bearings. Not as heavy-duty as OEM, but fine for residential use.
• Installation – Easy swap: remove the old wheel’s cotter pin or bolt, slide off, install new wheel, and re-secure. No special tools needed.
• Common gotchas – Wheels may be slightly snug on some axles; gentle tapping with a mallet helps. Check that your deck’s wheel bracket isn’t bent before installing.
• Lifespan – Expect 1–3 seasons depending on mowing frequency and terrain. Replace in pairs for even wear.

Should You Buy It

If your Deere’s original gauge wheels are cracked, wobbly, or missing, this 2-pack is a cost-effective fix for most residential owners. It’s not meant for heavy commercial decks, but for standard lawn tractors and zero-turns on typical turf, it’s a reliable, easy upgrade at a low price.
