John Deere AM115488 Plastic Deck Wheels 2-Packk 325 335 345 Series Lawn & Garden Tractors

What It Is

The John Deere AM115488 Plastic Deck Wheels 2-Pack is an OEM replacement part designed to support the mower deck on John Deere 325, 335, and 345 Series lawn and garden tractors. These wheels help prevent scalping and reduce deck wear by keeping the deck level during mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit for: John Deere 325, 335, 345 Series tractors with 48-inch or 54-inch mower decks.
• OEM part number: AM115488 (genuine John Deere, not aftermarket).
• Check before buying: Measure the existing wheel’s diameter (approx. 4 inches) and bolt hole pattern. Verify your tractor’s deck size and series—this part will not fit most 300 Series models with smaller decks (e.g., 38-inch). Also confirm the mounting bracket is intact; worn brackets may require separate replacement.
• What to avoid: Aftermarket knock-offs often have thinner plastic and different bearing sizes, leading to premature failure. Stick with OEM for guaranteed fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM John Deere plastic is durable but can crack if the deck is frequently bottomed out on rocks or curbs. Inspect your deck’s anti-scalp brackets for damage before installing.
• Installation: Easy—just remove the old wheel and cotter pin or bolt, then slide the new wheel on. No special tools required. Expect 10–15 minutes per wheel.
• Common gotcha: The wheels are sold as a 2-pack, but some decks use 4 wheels. Check how many your tractor needs before buying multiple packs.
• Maintenance: Grease the wheel hub lightly during installation to prevent squeaking. Replace both wheels at once for even wear.

Should You Buy It

If you own a John Deere 325, 335, or 345 with a 48/54-inch deck and need a direct, no-hassle replacement, this OEM 2-pack is the right choice. It’s pricier than aftermarket options, but the exact fit and proven durability save time and frustration. Avoid it if your deck size or series differs, or if you’re looking for a universal wheel.
