Which Cylinder Do I Need?
Two steering cylinders fit the X728 and X748, depending on your serial number and front axle type:
- AM147180 (this cylinder) — Long style (18.3 inch), for hydrostatic front axle drive, serial numbers after 040,001
- AM147178 — Short style, for 2WD and 4×4 (MFWD) models, serial numbers before 040,001
If your X728 or X748 has a serial number below 040,001, order AM147178 instead. Not sure? Check the serial number plate under your seat or near the rear frame. Send us a photo of your existing cylinder if still unsure.
