John Deere LA145 Parts and Diagrams
Spare parts can be needed at any point in the life-cycle of the LA145. This can either be because of routine servicing and maintenance, or because of some fault with the mower itself. There are basically four types of parts that can be acquired – used, replacement, new and aftermarket.
Used parts – these are normally parts that are taken from a mower that is normally destined to be scrapped, but where certain parts of it may still work. They will be cheaper than new parts, but obviously carry the risk of not being as reliable.
New parts – this is a general term that can refer to either manufactures parts, aftermarket parts or simply replacement parts. Manufacturers parts obviously the most desirable given that they will be made specifically with the LA145 in mind, but are also probably the most expensive option. If the mower is still under warranty, then it will most likely be a condition of the warranty that manufacturers parts have to be used.
Aftermarket parts – this refers to parts that are new but made by another manufacturer other than John Deere. They should perform in exactly the same way, but should also be considerably cheaper. They can normally be bought online from a number of different retailers.
Replacement parts – this can refer to any of the above, where a part of the lawn tractor needs to be replaced, for whatever reason. It is normally used in the context of trying to get hold of new or aftermarket parts, either directly from the manufacturer or another similar company.
