I cant seem to get the new pinion gear to go on the drive shaft of my JOHN DEERe LA105. Is there a trick to it?
count your teeth on your ring gear <big gear> and on you pinion <little gear> and the divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion
41 teeth on the ring gear, 10 on the pinion gear.
43 ring gear 14 pinion
pinion is a gear with a small number of teeth designed to mesh with a larger gear. {m@Gn3T0}

Best left to a mechanic as the drive shaft has to come down and the big nut on the pinion gear that holds the drive shaft mount has to come off and then you can install the new pinion seal.
A pinion gear rotates when it is driven by another gear or motor. As the driving gear turns, its teeth engage with the teeth of the pinion gear, causing it to turn in a specific direction. The rotation of the pinion gear can then transfer motion to another component in a mechanical system, such as a rack or another gear. The speed and torque of the rotation depend on the size and arrangement of the gears involved.
A crown and pinion gear system consists of two gears: the pinion, which is a small gear, and the crown gear, typically a larger, circular gear with teeth angled perpendicular to those of the pinion. The pinion gear engages with the crown gear, allowing for a change in direction of motion, commonly seen in applications like vehicle differentials. As the pinion rotates, it drives the crown gear, converting rotational motion into lateral motion. This setup is crucial for transferring torque efficiently while enabling smooth changes in direction.
The pinion gear meshes with the steering rack.
To install the gear pinion on a lawn tractor, first, ensure the tractor is turned off and the battery is disconnected for safety. Remove any necessary covers or housings to access the gear assembly, then align the new pinion with the shaft and secure it in place, typically using bolts or a retaining clip. Finally, reassemble any removed components and reconnect the battery before testing the operation. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions related to your model.

To change the ring and pinion on a C3500 truck, first, lift the rear of the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the differential cover and drain the fluid, then unbolt and remove the old ring and pinion gears from the differential case. Install the new ring gear onto the differential case, ensuring it is properly torqued, and then install the pinion gear, adjusting the backlash and preload according to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reassemble the differential, replace the fluid, and test drive to ensure proper operation.
