John Deere CE18325 Lift Link Replacement Rod RH 3 Point Hitch
John Deere CE18325 Lift Link Replacement – A Smarter Alternative to Buying the Complete Assembly
Replaces obsolete John Deere CE18325 used on RH three point hitch lift link assemblies.
If you own a John Deere compact tractor and your right-hand three point hitch lift link has worn or damaged threads, you may have already discovered that OEM part number CE18325 has become obsolete.
Many John Deere owners are now being told by dealerships that the replacement is the complete right-hand lift link assembly, part number LVA14231 — often costing a significant amount of money just to replace what is essentially a threaded adjustment rod.
That is exactly why we decided to manufacture a high-quality aftermarket replacement for the obsolete John Deere CE18325 lift link rod.
Fortunately, there is a more affordable solution.

What Is the John Deere CE18325 Lift Link Rod?
The CE18325 threaded rod is used on the right-hand side of the three point hitch lift link assembly on multiple John Deere compact tractors.
Its purpose is to allow precise adjustment of your implement leveling through the right-hand lift arm assembly.
Over time, these rods commonly experience:
- Damaged or rusted threads
- Bent shafts from heavy implement use
- Seized adjusters
- Wear from years of field use
- Corrosion from outdoor storage
Unfortunately, once the original rod fails, many owners are told they must purchase the entire updated lift link assembly.
For many tractor owners, that simply does not make sense when only the threaded rod itself is damaged.

Why Tractor Owners Look for a CE18325 Alternative
A common complaint among John Deere owners is the cost of replacing the complete lift link assembly when only the threaded rod is damaged.
Many owners have said things like:
“Dealer says you have to buy the complete assembly LVA14231 and cant keep the original, when all I need is the threaded rod."
And honestly, they are right.
Most of the time:
- The main assembly is still usable
- The lift arm itself is fine
- Only the threaded adjustment rod has failed
Replacing only the worn component can often restore full functionality while saving substantial money compared to the OEM complete assembly.
