TRACTOR FRONT SUPPORT.

COMPONENTS ARE DETERMINED WHEN SEATED IN THE BACKHOE OPERATING POSITION.

COMPLETE COMPONENTS
THIS CATALOG LISTS COMPLETE COMPONENTS IN A SPECIAL SECTION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS
TO AID DEALERS IN PLANNING WHAT COMPONENTS TO STOCK FOR THEIR COMPONENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM.
WHILE MOST OF THE ITEMS ARE NORMALLY STOCKED AT THE JOHN DEERE PARTS DISTRIBUTION
WAREHOUSE (PDW), SOME COMPONENTS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM FACTORIES. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
PLAN AHEAD IN DEVELOPING A COMPONENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM BECAUSE SOME OF THE FACTORY-
SUPPLIED COMPONENTS HAVE AN EXTENDED LEAD TIME.
IN ADDITION TO CURRENTLY AVAILABLE COMPONENTS, THIS SECTION ALSO CONTAINS NUMBERS FOR
COMPONENTS WHICH HAVE BEEN SUBSTITUTED AND/OR ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. PARTS NO LONGER
AVAILABLE ARE CODED AND ARE INCLUDED FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SPECIAL ORDERING PROCEDURES FOR THESE PARTS, PLEASE CONSULT
YOUR PARTS ADMINISTRATION MANUAL OR CONTACT YOUR JOHN DEERE INDUSTRIAL REGION PRODUCT SUPPORT
DEVELOPMENT MANAGER.
