You need ALOT more info than that to know if it will work. You either need to know what it came off of or you need to take the housings off and take some measurements. Measure the compressor wheel inducer and exducer and same for turbine wheel.

Remove the compressor housing and measure across the diameter of the blades. A measurement in mm's would be better. The measurement should be at the leading edge of the tips of the blades. Inducer is the smallest part of the wheel, exducer is the largest.

What size John Deere was it??

It depends on what power rating that motor had. There are lots of variations of that motor. Is the turbo off a fairly new tractor? Is it a variable geometry turbine wheel??

For the money it's hard to beat the S400 series of turbo's from BW. You can pick them up from several distributors on turbomustangs.com
