Mower Anti Scalp Deck Wheel Kit Set of 4 Compatible with John Deere AM133602, AM116299, M111489

What It Is

This is a set of four anti-scalp deck wheels designed to prevent the mower deck from digging into the turf on uneven ground. They’re intended for use on John Deere zero-turn and lawn tractors with 42- to 60-inch decks that originally used OEM parts AM133602, AM116299, or M111489.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model and deck size. This kit replaces OEM John Deere parts AM133602, AM116299, and M111489. It fits select John Deere models including Z425, Z445, Z465, Z645, Z655, X300, X304, X320, X324, X340, X360, X500, X534, X540, and X584. Also fits some older 100-series and 200-series tractors with 42- to 60-inch decks. Measure the existing wheel bolt pattern (typically 5/16-inch bolt, 2-inch wheel diameter) and check the deck bracket spacing—some aftermarket kits may require minor bracket adjustment. Not compatible with decks that use a different mounting hole spacing or wheel offset.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: These aftermarket wheels are generally durable but may use slightly softer plastic than genuine John Deere parts—expect shorter lifespan on rough terrain.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job requiring a socket or wrench (usually 1/2-inch or 9/16-inch). No drilling or modification needed if your deck already has the mounting brackets.
• Common gotcha: The included hardware may be slightly shorter than OEM bolts. If the wheel doesn’t spin freely, add a thin washer between the wheel and bracket.
• Deck clearance: Ensure the wheel’s tire diameter matches your deck’s anti-scalp bracket height—too tall and it will lift the deck, too short and it won’t protect against scalping.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible John Deere model and want to replace worn or missing anti-scalp wheels without paying OEM prices, this kit is a solid budget-friendly option. It’s fine for residential use on moderately bumpy lawns, but if you mow professionally or on very rough ground, you may get better longevity from genuine John Deere parts.
