2 Pack GX10168 Gauge Wheel Replaces John Deere GX10168 Deck Wheels for John Deere 105, 115, D140, D160, D170, E100, E110, E120, L100, L110, L130, Z425, Z435, Z445, Z335E, Z540M Lawn Tractors

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of aftermarket gauge wheels (replaces OEM John Deere GX10168) designed to support the mower deck on select John Deere lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, preventing scalping and ensuring a consistent cut height.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model and deck size. These fit John Deere 100-series (105, 115), D100-series (D140, D160, D170), E100-series (E100, E110, E120), L-series (L100, L110, L130), and Z-series zero-turns (Z425, Z435, Z445, Z335E, Z540M). They are a direct replacement for OEM part GX10168. Measure your existing wheel’s outside diameter—these are 6 inches. Check that your deck has the correct mounting bracket (a single bolt through the wheel hub). These are aftermarket, not genuine John Deere, so fitment may vary slightly on older or non-listed models.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Aftermarket wheels are often made of hard plastic with a metal bushing. They may wear faster than OEM but cost significantly less.
• Installation: Very easy—remove the old wheel’s retaining pin or bolt, slide the new wheel on, and secure. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The included hardware may not match your original bolts. Reuse your existing bolts if possible, or check thread pitch before forcing.
• Durability: Not designed for heavy commercial use. On rough terrain, the plastic hub can crack. For occasional residential mowing, they’re fine.

Should You Buy It

If you have a listed John Deere model and need a budget-friendly replacement for worn or missing gauge wheels, this 2-pack is a solid value. It’s ideal for light to moderate residential use where OEM cost isn’t justified. Avoid if you mow professionally or over very rough ground—invest in metal-hubbed OEM wheels instead.
