First time poster, longtime follower. I have a John Deere 955 with a 72 inch deck. Unfortunately, my gear box on the deck just failed. My guess is that it had a leak and I didn't notice, neither did the dealer who serviced it 2 weeks ago. I tried to find a replacement gear box but my part number AM106078 for my model M00296X575247 deck is unavailable. I did find a used 72 inch deck about 1.5 hrs from where I live but its from an 870 tractor and deck model # M00297X100997. I called 2 local JD dealers to see if the deck off the 870 would work on my 955. One said yes, the other said no. JDparts seems to indicate it is compatible.
Just wondering if anyone could give me a definitive answer. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dan
