Product Overview
A steering wheel that skips, turns without moving the front tires, or develops a wide dead spot often points to stripped teeth—but worn shaft bushings are frequently what damaged the gears in the first place. Replacing the gear set and checking the supports helps keep the new teeth meshing correctly.
The kit is intended for the listed 100-, D-, L-, LA-, S-, and X-series tractors. John Deere uses serial-number breaks on several D105-D170 and X-series models, so confirm the tractor PIN and every gear number before disassembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I confirm this is the correct part? A: Use the tractor PIN, original pinion and sector numbers, tooth profile, shaft diameter, and serial-number break.
