SKU: SMA-013-70657 Narrow Gauge Wheel Assembly for John Deere Planters and Air Drills - 3" X 16"

When you're running tight row spacing or working through heavy residue, having the right gauge wheel can make all the difference between smooth planting and frustrating plugging. This 3" x 16" narrow gauge wheel assembly is built specifically for split-row planters and air drills where you need precise depth control without the wider footprint of standard gauge wheels.

What You're Getting

• Narrow 3-inch width design that flows through residue better and works great in tight spacing
• Heavy-duty nylon and steel construction that stands up to rocks, roots, and rough field conditions
• 40mm sealed bearing assembly that keeps dirt and moisture out where it belongs
• 16-inch diameter provides excellent ground contact for consistent depth control
• Direct replacement design that bolts right on without modifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This gauge wheel fits a wide range of John Deere planters and air drills including the 750, 1560, 1590, 1690, 1850, 1860, 1890, 1895, and 1990 series, plus Great Plains drills, Kinze planters, and Case IH 1200 series planters and 500/500T air drills. Whether you're no-tilling corn into heavy corn stalks or drilling beans through wheat stubble, this wheel handles the conditions that come with modern farming.

Made to Last

The nylon and steel construction gives you the best of both worlds - the nylon resists cracking and provides good wear characteristics, while the steel reinforcement handles the loads and impacts. The 40mm bearing is sealed to keep moisture and dirt out, so it keeps rolling smoothly season after season even in dusty or muddy conditions.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement that uses the same mounting as your original equipment. The 5/8" bearing I.D. fits standard gauge wheel arms, and installation typically takes just a few minutes per wheel. When you're swapping them out, it's a good time to check your gauge wheel arm bushings and make sure everything's tight and properly adjusted for your planting depth.
