The figures above are from Deere’s X354 42-in. listing. They should not be transferred to another deck or model-year configuration without checking its manual and parts record.

What to verify before buying parts

  • Match the tractor serial number and model year to the Deere parts catalog.
  • Confirm the 42-in. deck and its product identification before choosing blades, belts or deck hardware.
  • Use the engine model on the data plate when selecting engine parts.
  • Check the steering and transaxle manual sections that apply to the machine’s exact configuration.

Used X354 screening

Review service history and inspect the deck, steering components, wiring, tires and visible leaks. If the seller demonstrates the tractor, observe start-up, four-wheel steering, braking and drive operation from the operator’s seat and follow the manual. Keep clear of the mower deck and other moving parts. Have a qualified technician assess unusual steering play or drive behavior.
