John Deere Original Equipment Wheel - GX10168 (2 Wheels)

What It Is

This is a pair of John Deere original equipment wheels (part GX10168) designed for the front axle of select walk-behind lawn mowers. It provides smooth rolling and supports the mower deck during operation, with a focus on durability and OEM fit.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Models: Fits John Deere walk-behind mowers like the JS26, JS36, JS46, JS60, JS63, and select SCAG mowers (check your manual).
• Check before buying: Measure your current wheel’s diameter (10 inches) and axle hole size (typically 5/8 inch). Ensure the wheel hub matches your mower’s spindle or axle design—this is a solid plastic wheel with a steel bearing insert.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine John Deere part, so it matches original specs exactly. Aftermarket alternatives may differ in bearing quality or hub dimensions.
• Deck size: Compatible with 36- to 63-inch decks, but verify your model’s front wheel requirement—some use a different offset or width.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty plastic with sealed bearings for long life; resists cracking better than cheaper aftermarket wheels.
• Installation: Easy—remove the old wheel, slide on the new one, and secure with the existing cotter pin or washer. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: These are front wheels only. Rear wheels on many John Deere mowers use a different part number (e.g., GX10169). Don’t mix them up.
• Note: If your mower has a grease fitting on the axle, apply light grease to the bearing before installation to prevent premature wear.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a John Deere walk-behind mower’s front wheel and want reliable, long-lasting performance without guessing fitment. It’s a solid value for the price, especially if your current wheels are cracked or worn out. Skip it if you need rear wheels or have a different brand—check compatibility first.
