received part was to the correct dimensions for mounting. Part was re reasonably priced but I noticed that the teeth did not have the depth as on the original john deere part. I have an acre to mow and it sufficed for that mowing but I have since replaced it with a genuine john deere part. I feel Flip had done their part as the part matched up and fit the mower but it was not as thick where it counted. John Deere or MTD have designed a very weak system and if anything, the sector plate and associated parts should be beefed up for longevity. 1st pic that I attached has the JD plate on top and the FLIP plate on the bottom. You can see the difference between the height of one and the other. The John Deere plate in the 1st pic is the one I was taking off and the Flip mfg sector plate after 2 hours of use. pics 2&3 have the new JD sector plate on the left side of the pic.Read full review

Sector gear, pinion, and metal bushing were exact fits. Nylon bushings required some modification, but were then serviceable. The kit would be a great value, even without the nylon bushings, but I did use them, just not a drop-in fit like the rest. Mower now steers like new. Pleased with the purchase.

the replacement i chose fit right in - no hassle. But if it is a machine w say 300hrs i.e., the teeth of this rack/pinion system looses tolerance and the rack teeth strip; and putting in a new set still leaves a poor interface from slop. I suggest max 1/8" washer under base of guide nut to make it all nice fitting, otherwise it will wear out now twice as fast.

The steering selector and the pinion gear are built with good quality material and seem to be holding up good so far on the Lawnmower. what I didn't like about this kit was unlike other kits this one did not include replacement bushings or a new retaining nut for the pinion gear so you have to reuse the old parts or make separate order to buy the missing parts :( so while the parts that are there are good you have to consider the price and the missing parts as a whole as not as good of a deal

PERFECT MATCH FOR MY JD L120, FAST SHIPMENT, THANK YOU THIS IS THE ONLY PART THAT FITS AND IS MADE OF CHEAPER STEEL AND THAT'S WAY IT KEEPS WEARING OUT. THIS IS MY 4TH GEAR REPLACEMENT AND I HAVE ABOUT 700HRS ON MY L120. AFTER THE 2ND REPLACEMENT GEAR CHANGE I ADDED WASHERS UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHIFT POSITION PLACEMENT OF THE PINION GEAR. IT MADE THE GEAR LAST 2 I/2 YRS vs 1 1/2 YRS. I'VE OWNED 2 OTHER JOHN DEERE LAWN TRACTORS AND NEVER REPLACED AND STEERING PARTS. ALL USED ON THE SAME YARD. ASKED JOHN DEERE DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THEY ARE USING CHEAPER PART IN THE LOWER END LAWN TRACTORS. HAVE WRITTEN TO JOHN DEERE ABOUT THIS WITH PICTURES, DID NOT GET A REPLY.
