This aftermarket drive shaft is a replacement driveline component for compatible John Deere tractor applications. It fits in the drive system between the engine and transmission/axle, helping transfer power through the tractor the way the original shaft was intended to. Built to match OEM This part is built as a faithful aftermarket replacement with the same general form, fit, and function as the original drive shaft. Machining and connection points are made to line up with the existing driveline components without changing the surrounding system. Installation Installation is intended to be a bolt-up replacement using normal shop tools and standard driveline service practices. Confirm your tractor uses the KT17QS Kohler engine before starting the job, since this drive shaft is only for that setup and should not require modification when installed on the correct application. .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; } }
