Using your measurements ( not part numbers) you can usually find one at places like Royal Distributing. I'm sure others will add other places. Secret though is using measurements.

Thanks DA. I was looking for a quick and easy answer (I got lazy).

I am in the process of measuring the shock right now and will most certainly cross reference it and hopefully find something that should work. The problem is I'm making a suspension with some various susupension parts from different Deeres and can't remember where this shock came from so I thought I would throw the numbers out in case anyone knew.

Sorry, it's most likely off of a Trailfire or Sportfire. Could also be a Liquifire but it would have to have the Deep Snow Kit on it. I should have answered your question in the first place.
