Caltric AM136720 62D Deck Gauge Wheel Compatible with John Deere 2025R 2027R 2032R 2305 / AM136720

What It Is

The Caltric AM136720 is an aftermarket gauge wheel assembly for the 62-inch deck on select John Deere sub-compact and compact tractors. It supports the mower deck to prevent scalping and ensure a consistent cut height on uneven terrain.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct replacement for OEM part AM136720 on John Deere models: 2025R, 2027R, 2032R, and 2305.
• Only fits the 62D (62-inch) deck – not compatible with 54-inch or 72-inch decks.
• Check your deck’s mounting bracket – this wheel uses a single bolt and a bushing. Ensure your deck has the correct bracket and that the 3/8-inch bolt hole aligns.
• Measure the existing wheel diameter – Caltric’s is typically 8 inches. If yours is larger or smaller, it may affect deck clearance or scalping performance.
• Aftermarket part – not genuine John Deere. Fitment is generally good, but minor tolerance differences can occur.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is acceptable for the price – the wheel is hard plastic, not rubber. It will wear faster on pavement but works fine on grass.
• Installation is straightforward – remove the old wheel, slide the new one onto the bracket, and secure with the existing bolt and locknut. No special tools needed.
• Check the bushing – if your old wheel had a metal sleeve, reuse it if the new one’s plastic bushing feels loose. Some users report slight wobble.
• Only 1 review at 4.0 stars – limited feedback. Expect basic performance, not premium durability.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget replacement for a worn 62D deck wheel on a John Deere 2025R, 2027R, 2032R, or 2305, the Caltric AM136720 is a functional, no-frills option. It’s ideal for occasional mowing on grass; avoid it if you mow heavy commercial use or need a rubber tire for hard surfaces.
