- Lock knob for the steering shaft on John Deere M, MI and MT tractors, listed by one reseller under AM439T and AM801T. John Deere's parts store has no page for AM439T. A listing at $80.00, described as not cracked, bent or broken, had sold out, which is a high price for a knob. Because it locks a steering component, PorkForge treats it as safety-critical.
