XaXmTee 5" Deck Gauge Wheels 6-Pack — 5" x 2" Anti-Scalp Replacement Kit with Hardened Steel Bolts

These are a set of six XaXmTee 5" deck gauge wheels engineered to prevent deck scalping and provide stable cutting height for compatible riding and walk-behind mowers.

Keep your mower deck level and protected with this 6-piece replacement kit from XaXmTee. Each wheel is molded from high-strength polypropylene for wear resistance and thermal stability, and ships with hardened steel bolts and gaskets to resist corrosion. Designed as direct-fit replacements for popular part numbers used by John Deere, MTD and other manufacturers, the set simplifies repairs and restores consistent cutting performance across 38"–50" decks and 46" MTD decks.

How do these wheels prevent mower deck scalping?

The gauge wheels ride at the deck’s edge to stop the deck from digging into uneven turf. Their smooth tread reduces turf pulling while the firm hub maintains a steady spacing between deck and ground, helping produce an even cut.

• 5" diameter and 2" height keeps deck away from bumps and low spots
• Smooth tread minimizes grass tearing and striping
• Rigid 1-1/2" hub holds wheel alignment under load

What are the key dimensions and materials I should know?

Each wheel in the set has a 5/8" bore to accept standard axles and a 1-1/2" hub for a secure fit. Wheels are injection-molded polypropylene for abrasion and aging resistance; the supplied fasteners are hardened steel to minimize rust and ensure long-term reliability.

• Bore: 5/8" for common mower axles
• Diameter: 5" and height: 2" for proper ground clearance
• Material: high-strength polypropylene; bolts and gaskets: corrosion-resistant steel

Which mower models will these replace or fit?

This XaXmTee six-pack is intended as a replacement for several OEM part numbers across major brands, allowing you to swap old, cracked, or missing gauge wheels quickly. Confirm your mower’s part number or measure bore and hub dimensions to ensure compatibility before purchasing.

• Replaces John Deere part numbers such as AM116299, M111489 and AM133602

How easy is installation and what tools are needed?

Installing these gauge wheels is straightforward: remove the existing wheel assembly by releasing the rod, choose the correct bushing for your axle, and slide the replacement on. No specialized tools are required beyond sockets or wrenches to secure the bolts, and there are many online video guides if you prefer step-by-step visuals.
