I have been using the same mower deck since about 2008 or 2009... Two of the gauge wheels are original and I replaced two of them about 6 years ago.
The factory Kubota ones have the grease zert in the plastic wheel and they pop out easily when trying to remove the grease gun tip.
I have basically mowed the last few seasons without greasing them and just letting them wear completely out, with the plan to purchase a proper set from Larry at Mower Axles LLC.
So, I finally pulled the trigger this spring. After an email just to clarify a few things, I placed my order on his website, and he emailed me the next day saying they shipped out and gave me a tracking number. I received them today and installed them in about 20 minutes.
Larry puts a proper bushing in new gauge wheels and then drills out the factory bolt and adds a grease zert. He can work with your existing wheels and bolt if they aren't too wore out already.
I am very happy so far, but won't actually mow with them for another week or so.
