FRONT AXLE RIGHT BRACKET FOR JOHN DEERE L61202

The L61202 right front axle bracket is a component mounted on the right side of certain John Deere tractors. Part No. 11 on the assembly, it is designed for machines equipped with an APL325 front axle and must be selected carefully based on the installation side and the specified standard configuration. For this part number, the front axle identification remains the primary verification point.

A right-side mount for the right side of the front axle

This part is indeed a right-side bracket. The installation orientation is therefore critical: it must not be confused with a left-side part or with a bracket for a different front axle version. On a tractor with a front-engine, front-axle configuration, the side and type of front axle directly determine the part’s compatibility.

Reference mark #11 can help you if you’re working from an assembly drawing or during disassembly. It’s a useful reference for locating the exact position of the part on the front axle and avoiding confusion with another nearby component.

The Decisive Factor: APL325 Axle and Applicable Serial Numbers

Part number L61202 is compatible only with front axles designated APL325 with serial numbers 4472 051 021/054/059/070. This condition must be verified before placing any order, as the same tractor model may have been produced with multiple front axle configurations depending on the production period or equipment.

In practice, the best approach is to first check the type of axle installed on the machine, then cross-reference it with the relevant serial number. This method is more reliable than selecting based solely on the tractor’s name, especially when multiple configurations exist within the same model family.

John Deere models covered by this part number

This straight bracket is used on several John Deere tractors within this range of applications, from the 1640 Series up to the 2650 Series, with a specific mention for the 1550 starting with serial number 430000. This serial number specification is important because it indicates a design change in this model.

If you are working on a 1640, 2040, 2040S, 1750, 1850, 1950, 2250, 2450, or 2650, identifying the front axle is essential. Compatibility is not based solely on the tractor model: both the APL325 axle must be installed and the vehicle must meet the standard specifications.

Important points to check before confirming your order

Before replacing this bracket, check three simple points: the right side, the presence of an APL325 front axle, and the serial number range. For a John Deere 1550, also keep in mind the specified serial number range, which precisely defines the application.

If your tractor belongs to the correct model family but the front axle or model number does not match exactly, it is best to confirm the identification before ordering. This check ensures you select the correct part number, L61202, for your installation.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What does part number L61202 refer to?

Part number L61202 refers to a right-side front axle mount. It is labeled No. 11 and applies to certain John Deere tractors equipped with an APL325 front axle. To avoid mistakes, check the part number, the mounting side, and the front axle type together.

Is this right-side bracket compatible with all John Deere tractors in this model series?

No. The listed models provide a general guide, but this part is intended only for APL325 front axles with serial numbers 4472 051 021/054/059/070. A tractor from the same series may have been equipped with a different front axle and require a different part number.

What does the notation “starting with serial number 430000” mean for the John Deere 1550?

This notation limits the application on the John Deere 1550 to tractors with serial numbers starting at 430000. It is used to distinguish a different mounting configuration within the same model. If your 1550 is an earlier model, you must verify compatibility before ordering.

How do I identify the correct side for this front axle mount?

The correct side is the right side of the front axle. If you’re working with an exploded view, this part is labeled as part #11. When replacing it, compare the existing bracket, the mounting side, and the front axle designation to confirm the correct part number.
