The RE222311 John Deere OEM Drive Coupler is a torsional damper for John Deere 8560, 8570, 8760, 8770, 8870, 8960, 9200, 9220, 9300, and 9320 tractors with mechanical shift transmissions. This coupling sits between the engine and transmission, absorbing torsional vibration that would otherwise fatigue drivetrain components.
These are John Deere’s high-horsepower four-wheel-drive and articulated tractors built for the heaviest field operations. The torsional damper protects the transmission from the cyclic forces generated by the engine during deep tillage, large implement operation, and high-drawbar-pull applications. When the damper wears, operators notice increased drivetrain vibration and rougher shifting.
The RE222311 is a direct OEM replacement. Follow John Deere’s service procedure for removal and installation with proper alignment and torque specifications.
