labwork Steering Sector & Pinion Gear W/Bushings Replacement for John Deere D130 D140 D150 D160 D170 1GXD110E

I installed this in one afternoon. While I gave it 5 stars for ease of installation, it’s not easy for a beginner. I’ve got mechanical repair experience, so it was easy in that everything fit like it should and all the extra parts were there that you should replace at the same time.I recommend watching a YouTube video first (there are several out there).Having the pinion gear in the kit was great since I hadn’t realized that was worn badly also.

Product arrived promptly. Install was straight forward and not difficult. After install John Deere D170 with 350+ hours steers just like new, maybe even easier to turn. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

This appears to be well made, but the last one of these "kits" I purchased only lasted a couple of years before the pinion gear teeth and the steering sector teeth were worn so badly that I could barely get the mower to turn. Hopefully this one will last at least the 8 years that the original factory set lasted.

All the parts were there. Fast shipping - no where local to buy it in Niagara Ontario Canada. Happy with the purchase. Lawn mower is turning quick and easy now. Thank you

For anyone with a John Deere lawn tractor, you know that the Achilles heel of the machine is the steering. This is my 4th or 5th replacement of the plate and gear because the forces are too great not to wear and ultimately tear up the teeth. That said, the parts installed as usual and everthing needed was included. Now it is an issue of longevity. Hopefully the steel is hard enough to withstand the forces.
