Aftermarket AFT-1610 | heat treated gauge wheel arm kit built to replace John Deere OEM A97866 on selected John Deere MaxEmerge Plus and Pro-Series planter row units.
This replacement gauge wheel arm kit helps tighten up worn planter row units and restore proper gauge wheel position for more consistent planting depth. The heat treated steel arm is built for long wear life, while the included single row bearing, double row bearing, bearing spacer, shim, washer, and M16 mounting bolt give you the main parts needed for a complete gauge wheel arm repair.
Why replace the gauge wheel arm as a kit?
A loose or worn gauge wheel arm can let the gauge wheel move away from the opener, causing poor depth control, uneven seed placement, and extra wear on row-unit parts. Replacing the arm, bearings, spacer, shim, and hardware together helps remove looseness and keep the gauge wheel running tight against the opener.
AFT-1610 replaces John Deere A97866 and cross-references with A-A97866, AMA54179, WN-A-A97866, 171556, and 864-SMA97866.
