Replacement Bushing-Sleeve Part 108-9782 Fits Toro, Lawn Boy, and Exmark Lawn Mowers (Set of 4)

What It Is

This is a set of four replacement sleeve bushings (OEM Part 108-9782) that serve as pivot points for the deck lift linkage or steering components on select Toro, Lawn Boy, and Exmark zero-turn mowers. They reduce metal-on-metal wear and eliminate slop in the linkage, restoring smooth deck height adjustment.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model number: Fits Toro TimeCutter (e.g., 74730, 74750), Z Master (e.g., 74920), and certain Lawn Boy (e.g., 10323) and Exmark Quest/Laser Z models. Verify your machine’s parts diagram lists part 108-9782.
• Measure before buying: Each bushing has a 3/8” inner diameter, 5/8” outer diameter, and 3/4” length. Measure your existing bushing or the mounting hole to confirm match.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Toro replacement—identical to the original. Aftermarket copies may vary in wall thickness or material, so stick with OEM for exact fit.
• Deck size not relevant: Fitment depends on the linkage design, not cutting deck width. Use your mower’s model/serial number (found under seat or on frame) to cross-reference on Toro’s parts site.

Key Things to Know

• Easy swap: No special tools needed—just a punch or screwdriver to tap out the old bushing and press in the new one. Expect 15–20 minutes total.
• Worn bushings cause deck drift: If your deck drops slowly or won’t hold height, these bushings are likely the culprit. Replace all four at once for even wear.
• Lubricate before install: Apply a thin coat of grease or anti-seize to the bushing outer wall to ease insertion and prevent future corrosion.
• Check for bent pins: While replacing, inspect the lift pins or bolts that pass through the bushings. If they’re bent or scored, replace them too—otherwise new bushings will wear fast.

Should You Buy It

If your Toro, Lawn Boy, or Exmark zero-turn has a sloppy, dropping, or hard-to-adjust deck, this $12 set of OEM bushings is a cheap, quick fix. Ideal for DIY owners who want to restore factory-tight deck movement without dealer labor costs. Not needed if your linkage feels smooth and holds position.
