This is an aftermarket side panel kit for compatible John Deere lawn and garden tractors. The panels are part of the tractor’s exterior bodywork, helping cover the side of the engine compartment and restore the correct finished look around the hood area. Built to match OEM This kit is made as a faithful aftermarket replacement for the original-style side panels. It is designed to match the factory panel shape, mounting layout, and exterior placement so it fits the machine without changing the surrounding bodywork. Installation Installation is a straightforward panel replacement for a DIY mechanic with basic hand tools. Remove the worn or damaged panels, line up the replacement panels with the existing mounting locations, and fasten them in place; no cutting or fabrication is intended when used 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; } }
