FAQs
Q1: How do I verify if this S300S016 turbocharger fits my John Deere?
Please check the nameplate on your current turbocharger for the part number 168218 or the John Deere number RE504359. Since the 6081T engine was used in dozens of tractor and combine configurations, matching the 7-digit RE/SE number is the most reliable way to ensure fitment.
Q2: Is this a genuine BorgWarner unit or a high-quality replacement?
This is a brand-new, high-performance replacement unit manufactured by Zhongke Turbo. We use premium K18 nickel-alloy wheels and high-precision bearings to match or exceed the performance of the original Schwitzer/BorgWarner units at a more competitive price point.
Q3: My part number starts with "SE" (e.g., SE500290). Is this compatible?
Yes. In the John Deere system, RE typically stands for a new part, and SE stands for a remanufactured part. Our unit is brand new and serves as a direct replacement for both RE and SE series numbers, offering superior longevity compared to remanufactured alternatives.
Q4: What type of warranty do you provide for heavy agricultural use?
We understand that field downtime is extremely costly during planting and harvest seasons, which is why we stand behind our quality with full technical support for farmers and maintenance workshops worldwide.
Q5: Do you provide worldwide shipping? What is the delivery timeframe?
We ship globally via premium carriers like DHL, FedEx, and UPS, as well as sea freight for bulk orders. In-stock items are typically dispatched within 24–48 hours. Express delivery to North America and Europe usually takes 5–7 business days.
