This aftermarket gearbox shaft and pinion is made for compatible John Deere rotary cutter gearbox applications. It is part of the cutter drive system and helps transfer power through the gearbox so the implement can operate as intended. The shaft has 18 teeth and the pinion has 22 teeth. Built to match OEM This replacement is built to match the original style shaft and pinion layout for proper fit and function in the gearbox. The tooth counts are matched to the application, with an 18 tooth shaft and 22 tooth pinion. Machined gear surfaces and correct sizing help maintain proper mesh when installed with serviceable mating components. Installation Installation requires gearbox disassembly and standard shop tools used for shaft, bearing, and seal service. No modifications are intended when the part is used in the correct gearbox application. Inspect related bearings, seals, and mating gears during installation so worn parts do not shorten the life of the replacement. .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; } }
