Caltric Deck Wash Water Port Plate Compatible with John Deere E140 E150 E160 E170 E180 G110 CV730

What It Is

This is a replacement deck wash water port plate for select John Deere lawn tractors. It connects a garden hose to your mower deck’s wash port, allowing you to flush grass clippings and debris from the underside without removing the deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

Compatible with: John Deere E140, E150, E160, E170, E180, G110, and CV730 models with a 42-inch or 48-inch deck (verify your deck size before ordering).
OEM cross-reference: Replaces John Deere part number GY20844.
What to check:

• Measure your existing port plate’s bolt hole spacing (center-to-center) – this plate uses two bolts spaced 1.5 inches apart.
• Confirm your deck has a threaded wash port fitting (not a snap-on or push-fit style).
• This is an aftermarket part; it may not match OEM plastic color or texture exactly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With only a 3.7 rating and two reviews, expect basic plastic construction. Some users report the hose connector threads feel less precise than OEM.
• Installation: Simple – remove two bolts, swap plates, reattach. Use a thread sealant or Teflon tape on the hose fitting to prevent leaks.
• Common gotcha: The included bolts may be too short for thicker decks; keep your original hardware.
• Durability: Plastic can crack if over-tightened or if the deck hits a rock. Hand-tighten only.

Should You Buy It

If you need a low-cost replacement and don’t mind basic plastic quality, this will work for occasional deck cleaning. It’s not ideal for heavy-use commercial mowers or if you want a perfect OEM fit. For the price, it’s a functional stopgap, but buying the genuine John Deere part (GY20844) is more reliable if you use the wash port frequently.
