8TEN Deck Wheel for John Deere LT155 LT133 GX345 LT180 STX38 X324 GX255 X310 M111489 AM133602 AM116299 2 Pack

What It Is

This 2-pack of 8TEN deck wheels replaces the factory anti-scalp wheels on select John Deere lawn tractors. They prevent the mower deck from digging into turf on uneven ground, protecting both the grass and the deck shell.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check three things before buying:

1. Model match – Fits John Deere LT155, LT133, GX345, LT180, STX38, X324, GX255, X310, and similar models with a 13-inch wheelbase deck or 48/54-inch fabricated decks. Does not fit older 100-series or 300-series with stamped decks using a different spindle mount.

2. OEM numbers – Replaces John Deere parts M111489, AM133602, and AM116299. If your current wheel has a different part number stamped on the hub, measure the bolt pattern (likely 3/8-inch hole centers) and wheel diameter (8 inches) to confirm.

3. Mounting hardware – These wheels use a 3/8-inch shoulder bolt. The included hardware may be metric; verify your deck’s existing bolts are 3/8-16 or 3/8-24 thread. If not, reuse your original bolts.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality – 8TEN uses a plastic wheel with a steel bearing insert. It’s lighter than OEM but holds up well on residential lawns. Not intended for commercial zero-turn use.
• Installation – Simple bolt-on job. Remove the old wheel, transfer the shoulder bolt and washer, tighten to hand-tight plus a quarter turn. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha – The wheel may sit slightly taller than OEM (8 inches vs. 7.5 inches on some original wheels). If your deck height is set to 1 inch, this wheel can lift the deck slightly, reducing cut quality. Check clearance at lowest setting.
• Durability – The plastic hub can crack if you hit a rock or stump repeatedly. Expect 2-3 seasons of normal use before replacement.

Should You Buy It

If your John Deere’s deck wheels are worn, cracked, or missing, this 2-pack is a cost-effective fix for residential mowing. It’s not for commercial use or rough terrain, but for flat lawns with occasional bumps, it restores proper deck height and prevents scalping without breaking the bank.
