- Handle for the shutter control on later John Deere A and B tractors, from A serial 584000 and B serial 201000 to the end of production. It follows the earlier B1516R knob. The one listing found ($25.00) was described as not cracked, bent or broken and may come without its set screw; it was sold out. John Deere's parts store has no page for this number.
