This aftermarket mower deck gear box is a replacement for compatible John Deere mower decks. It is part of the deck drive system and transfers power through the deck so the cutting system can operate properly. Built to match OEM This gear box is made to match the original-style fit and function for the supported deck application. Mounting points and drive alignment are intended to line up with the existing deck components without changing the deck structure. Installation Installation is a bolt-up replacement job for a mechanic comfortable working on mower decks and drive components. Use standard shop tools, follow the service manual, and fill the gear box with the proper gear oil before running it, as it ships without oil. .product-description-v2 { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d1d1d; line-height: 1.55; max-width: 720px; } .product-description-v2 > div { margin-bottom: 18px; } .product-description-v2 h3 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; color: #1d1d1d; margin: 0 0 8px; } .product-description-v2 p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; } @media (max-width: 768px) { .product-description-v2 { font-size: 15px; } }
