If you plug in the part #L34451 that table you posted is worthless unless I overlooked something as I see no "Urathane" [Reply]  [No Email]

I noticed if it is a rubber o-ring, it won't even give the chart I showed. Might be if it is in the HB family, it shows what the code means as there are different properties for the different codes. Or it could just be a JD thing that shows up on some things and not on others. [Reply]  [No Email]

Below that is a part diagram and in real fine print it gives a key to what the materials are. The printing is kinda fuzzy on their web site also. [Reply]  [No Email]

Took it apart and some of the shims were damaged. Went to Deere dealer to get parts. It takes some special tools to get the shaft apart and the parts guys talked me into leaving it there for one of the mechanics to look at and shim the valves. Went back to pick it up and when I got the bill I was in shock. The new shims were about $20, time was about one hour, and the total bill was almost $450. I'll never let Deere work on anything for me again. I should have made the tool I needed and done it myself. Best advice I can give is BUY THE DEERE SERVICE MANUAL and do it yourself.

I am going to have to pull whole column from tractor. I have a over haul manual but what are some things I should be careful about.How much would a jd shop charge to do this job.

My parts run a little higher because I get them through a construction dealer but he is only 3/4 mile away so it is worth the extra.

I also need to put another seal in my pto shaft. I wonder if pto seal can be bought from auto supply? The one i put i from jd seemed to be a little big and i damaged it putting it in and it is leaking.It was all covered in rubber material and hard to drive in.I recon i needed a special tool to install it?

If you do, make real sure you can get it back together the same. You need to get the right shims to get the right clearances. In the half dozen I have done, I only had to work on one valve. Does it steer ok otherwise? [Reply]  [No Email]
