Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm fitment? Match the exact turbocharger tag or Deere part number. RE508973, RE516667 and RE516700 may represent different builds or supersessions depending on engine application, so do not assume universal interchangeability.
Is this an OEM part? This listing is for a replacement part. Brand names and OE/reference numbers are used to identify fitment unless the listing specifically states that the item is genuine OEM.
