We strive to reuse the same parts as much as possible to help allow long term parts support for older models and make things as easy as possible for our customers, our dealers, and our own inventory. If the specific part from your model is reused in another model, then the same part # is nearly always reused, maintaining continuity and parts support. If that specific item is no longer listed, and we do not list a substitution for it, then it is very likely we do not have anything that will be a direct replacement fit, and we cannot recommend attempting to modify parts from another model.
