Front Bumper for John Deere 345
The front bumper for my John Deere 345 was as described. It is well made and structurally sound. I was aware I would have to loosen the bumper when I remove the mower deck. On my tractor I will have to remove and reinstall the bumper. I generally only remove the deck once a year in the late fall; so It is not a big deal. One tricky part of the installation involves clips on the heat shield. The hard part is aligning the clips which are inside of the heat shield. I would help to find a bolt that is 1/4" longer to make contact with the clips because the heat shield must be spread apart. Instructions did not come with the bumper; which may have helped. Overall I am pleased and feel more secure my Grandson won't damage the plastic hood and plastic bumper when he mows.

Exact OEM match
The replacement PTO clutch was the same PTO installed by John Deere. The price was significantly lower that the cost at a John Deere dealer. The PTO has been installed and only tested once after I performed the burnishing procedure. The real test will be when the grass begins to grow in the Spring.
