JOHN DEERE RIGHT-SIDE DOOR LOCK RE254953

The RE254953 right-side door latch is a locking component designed for several generations of John Deere tractors. It is installed on the right-side cab door and helps open, close, and lock the door. This part is of interest to both repair shops and operators when the door becomes difficult to operate or when the door no longer stays closed properly.

A lock designed for the right-side cab door

This lock is designed for the right side. On a tractor, this mechanism is part of the cab latch assembly and controls access to the driver’s seat. Its primary function is to ensure the door operates correctly and to help secure it when closed.

Replacing a door lock is often considered when the door catches, closes poorly, or requires uneven force to operate the latch. For this type of part, identifying the side is essential: a right-side lock cannot be substituted for a left-side lock.

Part Number RE254953 and John Deere Applications

Part number RE254953 refers to a right-hand door lock for John Deere tractors. It is compatible with machines in the 7R, 8R, and 9R series, as well as models in the 7000, 7010, 7020, 8000, 8010, 8020, 8030, 9000, and 9020 series, including the variants listed in the applications.

The range of applications thus covers wheeled tractors and T or RT variants. This point warrants attention during identification, as the model suffix is an integral part of the machine’s designation and helps confirm that the lock you are looking for is indeed compatible with the tractor in question.

Key Criteria for Choosing This Lock

To select this part number, first check:

• the right side of the door in question;
• the exact model designation of the John Deere tractor;
• whether the part number RE254953 is present on the removed part, if it remains legible;
• whether it matches the list of models associated with this lock.

Two locks may look similar but not be intended for the same installation. That is why identification by part number and application remains more reliable than simply comparing their appearance. If the door has already been repaired, a visual inspection of the entire latch assembly can also prevent confusion with another version or with a nearby handle component.

A useful tip before ordering

For a cab part like this one, the key is to match the mounting side, the part number, and the tractor’s full model designation. If you’re looking for a right-side door lock for a John Deere model listed in the advertised applications, RE254953 is the part number to check first before confirming the replacement.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a right-side door lock on a John Deere tractor?

It is used to open, close, and lock the right-side cab door. Replacement is necessary when the door does not close properly, requires an unusual amount of force to operate, or no longer maintains the expected closure via the mechanism.

How do you identify the right side when ordering part number RE254953?

The right side is generally identified from the driver’s seat, facing the direction of travel. This is important because a right-hand lock and a left-hand lock are not interchangeable, even if they look similar on the outside.

Is the RE254953 lock compatible with the John Deere 7200 R, 8235 R, and 9320T?

Yes, these three models are listed among the applications for this lock. The part number also covers other John Deere models from several series, but you should always check the right side of the door and the exact model of the tractor before replacing it.

Should you check the part number on the existing lock before replacing it?

Yes, this is the best way to verify compatibility if the marking on the removed part is still legible. Checking for RE254953, in addition to the John Deere model and the side of installation, helps minimize errors on a tractor family where multiple lock versions may exist.
