It is used on John Deere X700 series and 1 and 2 series tractors. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.

Applications & use cases
Blades not turning
The deck gearbox turns the drive from the tractor into the mower blades. A failed gearbox stops the blades with the PTO engaged.
Grinding or whining
Noise from the deck gearbox means the bearings or gears are worn. Stop before it seizes.
Oil leaking from the seals
Oil on the deck under the gearbox is a seal leak. A dry gearbox wears out fast.
Fitting tips
Check the oil level before use, fit the drive shaft and key correctly and torque the mounting bolts.
