XaXmTee 5" Replacement Gauge Wheel Kit 2-Pack M111489 with Full Hardware — Smooth Tread, Hardened Fasteners

If your mower deck rides unevenly, drags grass, or needs replacement gauge wheels, this XaXmTee kit gives you two smooth-tread 5" wheels plus a full complement of installation hardware. Crafted from high-strength polypropylene wheels and hardened steel fasteners, the kit is built to resist wear, aging, and typical yard impacts. Compact but robust, these components are designed to match common OEM dimensions so you can restore consistent deck height and smoother mowing without a trip to the dealer.

How do these replacement deck wheels restore mower performance?

New gauge wheels re-establish the deck's intended clearance and keep the cutting blade from scalping the lawn. Installing the pair included in this kit stabilizes the deck on uneven ground and reduces grass tearing. The smooth tread ensures minimal turf marking while the reinforced hub resists bending under load.

• Wheel diameter: 5 inches; height: 2 inches for standard deck clearance.
• Bore size: 5/8" to fit common spindles and axles.
• Hub width: 1-1/2" for secure mounting and load distribution.
• Smooth tread design prevents turf scuffing and eases turning.

What hardware is included and how does it simplify installation?

The kit bundles every fastener you need so you can replace wheels in one session without scavenging parts. Two bolt styles and matching bushings are supplied to accommodate common mounting arrangements on multiple mower brands. Metal gaskets, lock nuts, and bushings provide a tight, vibration-resistant fit to keep the wheel assembly secure during use.

• Included fasteners: 4 bolts (two styles) with 4 corresponding bolt bushings.
• 4 lock nuts and 2 metal gaskets for a secure, anti-loosening connection.
• Hardened steel construction on bolts and gaskets to resist corrosion.
• All hardware pre-selected to match typical OEM spacing and hubs.

Which mower models and decks will these wheels fit?

The XaXmTee M111489 wheel kit is compatible with many popular lawn tractor decks and direct-replacement part numbers. It suits several John Deere and MTD decks as long as the wheel bore and hub dimensions match your mower's specifications. Always confirm your deck size and part numbers before ordering for a proper fit.

• Fits 5" gauge wheel applications for MTD 46" decks and similar sizes.
• Compatible with John Deere models for 38", 40" and 50" decks where M111489/AM116299 style wheels are used.

How difficult is installation and where can I find guidance?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable removing a gauge wheel and swapping bushings and bolts. The kit is designed so wheels slide onto the spindle after choosing the correct bushing configuration. If you prefer a visual walkthrough, there are repair videos online that demonstrate step-by-step removal and fitting for similar gauge wheels.

• Remove old wheel by pulling back the release rod or unbolting, depending on your mower.
• Select the matching bushing style from the kit for your spindle type.
• Use supplied bolts, gaskets and lock nuts to fasten wheels securely.
