John Deere LA-Series Steering Repair Options

Sector & pinion · Bushings · Front spindles

Compare selected Flip Manufacturing aftermarket steering parts for listed John Deere LA-series applications. The sector and pinion, steering bushings and front-axle spindles are different repair groups. Identify the original components in the diagram for your exact tractor model and serial number before choosing a kit.

LA-style and L-series sectors differ. The sector kits below use the GX21924BLE-reference LA-style plate. A shared GX20053 pinion number does not make a complete kit suitable for an L-series GX20052BLE sector application.

Sector & pinion, with or without bushings

Sector & pinion kit · FLIP 201270-201294-L3

One GX21924BLE-reference sector plate and one GX20053-reference pinion gear: two listed components.

Choose this configuration only after comparing the original sector shape and pinion with the serial-specific diagram. Bushings are not part of this two-component kit.

Gear & bushing kit · FLIP 201270-201294REBUILD

One sector plate, one pinion, one metal steering bushing and two plastic steering bushings: five listed components. Component references include GX21924BLE, GX20053, GX20054 and GX21994.

Compare the sector/pinion and both bushing locations. The L-series rebuild kit uses a different sector and a different metal-bushing quantity.

Front-axle steering spindles & hardware

Front spindle & hardware kit · FLIP 211646

One right spindle, one left spindle and the bearing/retaining-hardware kit shown. References include GY22251BLE / GY22252BLE and GY22251 / GY22252.

Compare steering-arm orientation, axle pivots, wheel-bearing surfaces and hardware. This kit addresses the front spindles; it does not supply a steering sector and pinion.

The individual listing covers selected LA- and D-series applications and S240. The same model coverage must not be assumed for the sector kits above.

Use each product’s own model list

The three options serve different assemblies and do not have identical application lists. Even within the LA series, compare the complete tractor model and serial-specific parts diagram. Select the kit that contains the components your repair actually needs; a larger kit does not establish a match for a different sector or spindle version.
