Discontinued 2001 455G Transmission input shaft

Post by CWB0005 » Mon Oct 18, 2021 12:00 pm

My local John Deere parts dealer told me that a JD 455G transmission input shaft is obsolete. Does anyone by chance know where I can find one?

The part number is T164040

Did the dealer do a system wide search for the shaft? There might be one setting on a dealership's shelf somewhere, my dealer has found a couple obsolete parts that way before for me. Is there an upgrade change? Looking at the online parts catalog it looks like that part number is in a group of parts used to upgrade machines before a given serial number. Seems strange there isn't something given the vintage of your machine, the catch maybe you have to change a number of things to do the upgrade.

Not sure but I’ll definitely ask him. There were two different part numbers for this shaft depending if the serial number is before or after a certain number. Mine was the higher one.

The parts catalog shows the earlier units being subbed to the later unit parts including the T164040 shaft. Give Lavoy a call or send an email (postmaster@jdcrawlers.com), he might know of a good late model salvage yard.
