Deere compact tractor flywheel sensor and mfwd sensors

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Just wondering if anyone has found a cheaper alternative? A simple sensor like this made in Mexico should only cost a third of what JD charges.

LVA11184 is now replaced by LVA17409 and it sells for $77.75

Surely this simple hall effect sensor can be found cheaper.

Also, people have stated that after hitting a bump, their tractors worked fine. Makes me wonder if taking off the sensor, cleaning the contacts and inspecting, might work? Maybe some di-electric grease on the contacts?

Borrowed this photo from OleMiss' thread.
