The John Deere X384 Select Series name is a starting point for identifying a tractor. Record its PIN, installed engine and actual mower deck before using a specification or choosing a service part. X384 and X394 remain separate models; a shared-looking deck does not prove the same assembly or procedure applies.
Verify the X384 machine and publication
Record the tractor PIN, engine model and serial, deck model and serial, market and any replacement history. Find publications covering those identities and serial ranges. Keep tractor, engine, deck and attachment enquiries separate when their applicability notes differ.
Use the dated X384 engine-service references
Deere’s November 2019 cross-reference lists LG265 for X384 serial 010001 onward without specifying an engine code. The May 2023 X384 guide also lists LG265, without a kit market condition in that entry. Its regional battery labels do not establish kit applicability. Confirm the fitted engine, market and current kit specification; identify a replacement engine first.
- Engine oil filter: AM125424.
- Air-filter references: MIU12554 primary and MIU12555 secondary.
- Fuel filter: AM116304; spark plug: M805853.
The numbers above come from the May 2023 guide. They do not establish the current LG265 package contents or a service interval for every engine. Compare the seller’s itemized contents with the work planned before buying a kit and separate filters. The selected AM116304 listing is a two-pack, not evidence that two filters are required per service.
Equipment & supplies
Conditional X384 kit and fuel-filter choices
Use the dated X384 references to start an enquiry. Confirm the actual engine, market, current application and package contents before ordering. Buy separate filters only for the identified service task; they may duplicate a kit.
John Deere LG265 maintenance kit
Deere’s November 2019 X384 row lists LG265 from serial 010001 without an engine code; its May 2023 guide also names the kit. Confirm the actual engine, market and current package contents. Regional battery labels on the guide do not establish kit scope.
AM116304 fuel filter
Deere’s May 2023 X384 guide names AM116304 fuel filter. Confirm its current application to the fitted engine and follow the applicable fuel-service precautions. This listing contains two filters; check kit contents and the work planned before adding it.

Keep X384 transmission service separate
The same May 2023 guide lists MIU800986 transmission filter, TY22035 low-viscosity Hy-Gard transmission oil and M144044 drive belt. These are separate from AM125424 engine oil filter and the mower-deck belts. No transmission filter, fluid or belt offer is supplied here. Confirm the actual transmission and current application, then use its matched service instructions.
Identify the X384 deck before choosing blades
- The May 2023 48-inch Accel Deep page lists UC22009 standard blade, M127673 mulch blade, M169485 primary belt and M169500 secondary belt.
- The 54-inch Accel Deep page lists UC22010 standard blade, M152726 high-lift blade, M169485 primary belt and M169486 secondary belt.
- Both deck pages show AM130907 leveling gauge, M111489 gage wheel and M113955 roller.
The older, undated 48-inch reminder instead names M145476 side-discharge blade. It agrees on M127673 mulch blade and the two belt roles, and separately lists BM24993 MulchControl kit. These documents do not establish a current blade supersession or show that a blade set alone completes a mulch installation.
Read the fitted deck’s identification and current diagram before buying. The UC22009 offer below contains three blades and is conditional on the documented 48-inch reference. It is not the 54-inch choice. Do not use a common primary-belt number to substitute the different secondary belts.
Equipment & supplies
X384 blade and leveling choices after deck identification
The May 2023 X384 guide separates 48-inch and 54-inch Accel Deep references. Confirm the actual deck and current application. The blade listing here is for the documented 48-inch reference; no 54-inch blade or complete mulch-kit offer is supplied.
Accel Deep: UC22009 mower blades
The May 2023 X384 48-inch Accel Deep page names UC22009. Confirm the current deck reference before buying this three-blade listing; the older reminder uses M145476 for side discharge. This is not the documented 54-inch choice or a complete mulching system.
John Deere AM130907 deck-level gauge
Both May 2023 X384 deck pages show AM130907. Use the matched manual for preparation, measurement points and adjustment. This gauge does not identify the fitted blade, establish a universal cutting height or diagnose every uneven-cutting fault.

Prepare safe X384 inspection and servicing
Use the matching engine and tractor/deck manuals for procedures, intervals, fluids, torque and operating restrictions. Follow shutdown, cooling, isolation and safe-access instructions before inspecting labels or working around the deck. Use the required support and protective equipment; a leveling gauge does not diagnose every uneven-cutting fault.
Document the actual seat and controls, tire condition, guards, mounts, attachments and storage/access dimensions. Compare the intended route and work with the manual’s limits. A mirror or light may help read permitted, safely accessible markings; they do not establish internal condition or model compatibility.
Assess the actual X384 and complete offer
Request hours, dated maintenance records and repair invoices. Note unresolved faults, missing parts and attachment identities, then obtain a repair quotation. Ask for a written offer covering included equipment, mounting hardware, delivery, financing, warranty and service support. Compare total cost using the actual condition and records rather than unsupported testimonials or a generic model price.
Equipment & supplies
Aids for recording the actual X384 equipment
Use these optional aids only where the X384 manuals permit safe access after shutdown, cooling and isolation. Retain readable labels and visible concerns for the service enquiry. A mirror or light does not establish current fit or internal condition.
Ullman HTC-2 inspection mirror
The Ullman HTC-2 inspection mirror can help read a safely accessible X384 engine, deck or attachment marking. Keep a clear transcription or photograph and resolve uncertain characters before a parts enquiry. The mirror provides no compatibility or internal-condition verdict.
Streamlight MicroStream pocket light
The Streamlight 66318 MicroStream uses an AAA battery; it is not the USB version. Lighting can help document permitted, safely accessible X384 labels, guards or mounting hardware. A lit record does not diagnose a fault or prove a replacement part fits.

- Check package quantities and kit contents to avoid duplicate filters or incomplete attachment purchases.
- Use the applicable manuals for procedures, operating restrictions and safe access.
- Obtain written equipment, condition, repair, delivery and warranty terms before comparing total cost.
