Good To Know
Q: Is this a genuine John Deere part? A: No, this is an aftermarket STENS brand replacement switch built to OEM specifications, not an original John Deere product.
Q: How do I know if this switch matches my mower's harness? A: Check the shape and pin count of your existing connector against the photos, as the terminal arrangement must match the original plug for a secure fit.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
