skrusins 128 #1 Posted July 22, 2022 Looking for a 1in. taller gauge wheel any suggestions? I'd seen a link earlier but I can't find it. Thanks in advance, Stan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,589 #2 Posted July 22, 2022 @skrusins how about a local tractor supply ? or similar ? J/D deck wheels are typically taller , if nothing else , snoop around online with the specs you want , head you in the right direction , pete 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,168 #3 Posted July 22, 2022 Harbor Frt also has a HUGE selection -- and they are cheaper than TSC 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff-C175 7,199 #4 Posted July 22, 2022 In most cases you do get what you pay for. I bought some cheapo HF wheels and they lasted one mowing season. The metal was thin and rusted and bent easily. Something like a gauge wheel needs to be beefy. They take a lot of abuse. Not saying to not try TSC or HF , but be aware that the $3.99 specials aren't worth the trouble. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely I was cheap and tried cheap wheels and they broke in a short amount of time. I got OEM Wheel Horse wheels and they are still going strong 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #6 Posted July 22, 2022 Thanks to everyone for your great advice. I always used WH deck wheels, but I'm trying to get a 7inch wheel to get a 4inch mowing height. Once Again Thanks to everyone Stan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note the tread width and bore length as well as other specs. Lastly, be sure to re-level the deck with the new wheels and.... please POST PICTURES and info on your results!
