[AJD] Part Number F301R

[Michael Scholl]

Dean, 

You're certainly correct, I should have and usually qualify my statements
with "usually" or "typically".  I stand corrected!

Offline, I did point Charles to a parts source which I have had great
success with.

I do not claim to be a expert on any subject addressed in this forum, simply
an experienced observer.

One of the perks of subscribing to this forum is the privilege of being
periodically humbled by those more knowledgeable than me.  I typically sit
in the background and just read the exchanges and learn.

Thanks for your comments,
Mike Scholl

Michael,

Let me also assure you I'm not a parts expert either but have paid some dues
chasing down JD parts. Typically, what you state is true but there are some
notable exceptions especially in the area of bearings, cups, races, etc.
Typically, a JD part number that has a two letter prefix with the second
prefix
letter as an A usually defines it as an assembly of more than one part.
Parts
such as the bearing parts that start with JD (a two letter prefix) as a
prefix
are typically single parts but Deere seems to have discontinued some
individual
parts and bundled them into another different part number that includes
those
individual parts. I've run into this mostly relative to bearings but don't
have
a handy specific reference at the moment. Notice I'm using words like
"typically" and "usually" and "sometimes" and "may be". Every time I think I
have the part number code figured out, up pops an exception to the rule. So
I
have learned the hard way to never say never or always. :-) 

The key thing I'm trying to communicate to Charles is to not immediately
assume
the part isn't available any more just because that specific part number
shows
discontinued or not available any more. It may be included under another
part
number. Sometimes JD will show a substitute to the new number to get to the
new
assembly part number but that isn't the case here and that may be a bad
omen.
However, Deere also sometimes leaves off the part number suffix on
www.JDParts.deere.com. I have never been able to find a pattern for that. My
assumption is that it is a data entry error. Maybe there is a rhyme or
reason to
it but I sure don't see the pattern. Always more to learn.

Just an FYI...  JD parts that have a single letter prefix are single
component parts (i.e, seal, gasket, casting, etc), parts with 2 letter
prefixes are composite parts, those that are consist of multiple sub-parts
(i.e., fuel line w/fittings and glands, cylinder head w/pressed in valve
guides, etc

I am not reading this the same way you are but I am not a parts expert by
any  means
I see F 298 R as a seal for the bearing.......
