- Notes
- Lever knob for the rockshaft and Powershift levers on John Deere 20- and 30-series two-cylinder tractors, also listed for early 2510, 3020, 4020 and the 4620. Deere still shows the number but replaces it with R60458, a seat posture knob that Deere lists as shorter and lighter, so the original shape may not be matched. A reseller listing at $22.96 was sold out.
