Yoursme AM131288 AM131289 Front and Rear Mower Deck Gage Wheel Arm for John Deere Mower Decks 48C 54C and 62C, Diameter 1", Come with 1 Pair

What It Is

This is a set of two front and two rear gauge wheel arms for John Deere mower decks, designed to support the deck and prevent scalping on uneven terrain. It’s intended for 48C, 54C, and 62C decks, replacing worn or broken factory arms.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your deck model—this works only with John Deere 48C, 54C, and 62C decks (the “C” suffix is critical). The arms have a 1-inch diameter spindle hole, so measure your existing wheel studs to match. These are aftermarket replacements for OEM part numbers AM131288 (front) and AM131289 (rear). They do not fit other deck sizes or brands like Craftsman or Husqvarna. Also verify your deck’s year: most 2000s-era JD models with these decks are compatible, but check your deck’s serial number if uncertain.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Some users report thinner metal than OEM arms—may bend under heavy use or on rocky terrain. Inspect for burrs or rough edges before installation.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job (wrenches required). No special tools needed, but the arms may need slight bending to align with deck mounting holes.
• Hardware: The set includes arms only—no wheels, bolts, or washers. You’ll reuse your existing wheels and hardware. If yours are missing or damaged, order those separately.
• Fitment note: On some 62C decks, the rear arm may sit slightly higher than OEM, affecting wheel contact with the ground. Check clearance after installation.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for worn gauge wheel arms on a John Deere 48C, 54C, or 62C deck and are comfortable with basic mechanical work. Skip it if you need a precise OEM fit, heavier-duty arms for rough terrain, or a complete set with wheels. At $42.99, it’s a decent value for occasional use, but don’t expect premium durability.
