SPM-HEP-5243 is the complete turbocharger: the cast iron turbine housing with the twin scroll four bolt exhaust flange, the large aluminium compressor housing with the bolted clamp plates, and the centre housing with the oil feed and drain flanges. It is used on John Deere 6068 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 RE550941 and John Deere RE550932.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

What it does
Exhaust gas spins the turbine, which drives the compressor wheel on the same shaft and pushes more air into the engine. More air lets the engine burn more fuel cleanly, giving the rated power.

Yes, it was made for the John Deere 524K, and 7 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old turbocharger is marked RE550941 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
On the John Deere 524K, 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.
Blue or black smoke, a whistle or siren noise, loss of power, oil in the intake or exhaust, or the shaft rubbing the housing.
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.
Most failures come from oil starvation, dirty oil, or something passing through the wheels. Find the cause first: a blocked oil feed or dirty air path will kill the new turbocharger too.
No. It is an aftermarket turbocharger made to replace the John Deere RE550941. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
