It is used on John Deere 4045T engine machines. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
It replaces John Deere 471049-9001 and John Deere RE508971.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my John Deere 450G?
Yes, it was made for the John Deere 450G, and 4 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked 471049-9001 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the turbocharger on my John Deere 450G?
On the John Deere 450G, often as long as the engine, 8,000 hours or more, when the oil and air filters are kept on schedule. Most turbos fail early from oil or dirt problems, not age.
What are the signs the turbocharger needs replacing?
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
What should I do before the first start?
Pour clean engine oil into the oil inlet and turn the shaft by hand, then crank the engine with the fuel cut until oil pressure shows. Let it idle for a minute before load.
Is shaft play normal?
A little radial play is normal on journal bearing turbos. Wheels touching the housing, or any noticeable end float, are not.
Is this a genuine John Deere 471049-9001?
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the John Deere 471049-9001. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
