Maxpower 335098B Deck Wheel for John Deere M111489, AM-116299, M11149 Medium

What It Is

This is a 3-inch diameter deck wheel designed to support the mower deck and prevent scalping on uneven terrain. It fits medium-frame John Deere lawn tractors and replaces OEM parts M111489, AM-116299, and M11149.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your deck size: This wheel is for 38- to 48-inch decks on John Deere L, G, and X300 series (e.g., L100, LA105, G100, X304). It will not fit zero-turn or wide-area mowers.
• OEM cross-reference: Directly replaces John Deere M111489, AM-116299, and M11149. Verify your original part number on the old wheel or deck bracket.
• Measurements: Wheel diameter is 3 inches, width is 1.25 inches, axle hole is 5/16 inch. If your deck uses a different axle size or offset, this won’t work.
• Aftermarket note: Maxpower is a reliable aftermarket brand, but fit may vary slightly from OEM; minor filing of the axle hole is rarely needed.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Solid plastic wheel with a steel bushing—holds up well on grass and light gravel, but may crack if you hit curbs or rocks often.
• Installation: Easy swap. Remove the cotter pin or clip, slide off the old wheel, and press the new one on. No tools beyond pliers and a small punch needed.
• Common gotcha: The wheel does not come with a spacer or axle hardware. Reuse your original washer and cotter pin, or buy a new set separately if rusted.
• Durability: Rated 4.6 stars from 850 reviews; most users report 2-3 seasons of normal use before wear.

Should You Buy It

If you have a John Deere lawn tractor with a 38-48 inch deck and need a direct, affordable replacement for a worn or broken deck wheel, this is a solid pick. It’s not for zero-turns or heavy-duty commercial use, but for residential mowing it’s a reliable, easy install at a fair price.
