John Deere 185, 180, 175, 160, 130 User Manual

...

FOREWORD

Introduction

This manual is written for an experienced technician. Essential tools required in performing certain service work are identified in this manual and are recommended for use.

Live with safety: Read the safety messages in the introduction of this manual and the cautions presented throughout the text of the manual.

This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see

this symbol on the machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Technical manuals are divided in two parts: repair and diagnostics. Repair sections tell how to repair the components. Diagnostic sections help you identify the majority of routine failures quickly.

Information is organized in groups for the various components requiring service instruction. At the beginning of each group are summary listings of all applicable essential tools, service equipment and tools, other materials needed to do the job, service parts kits, specifications, wear tolerances, and torque values.

This manual is part of a total product support program.

FOS MANUALS—REFERENCE TECHNICAL MANUALS—MACHINE SERVICE COMPONENT MANUALS—COMPONENT SERVICE Fundamentals of Service (FOS) Manuals cover basic

theory of operation, fundamentals of troubleshooting, general maintenance, and basic type of failures and their causes. FOS Manuals are for training new personnel and for reference by experienced technicians.

Technical Manuals are concise guides for specific machines. Technical manuals are on-the-job guides containing only the vital information needed for diagnosis, analysis, testing, and repair.

Component Technical Manuals are concise service guides for specific components. Component technical manuals are written as stand-alone manuals covering multiple machine applications.

Binders, binder labels, and tab sets can be ordered by John Deere dealers direct from the John Deere Distribution Service Center.

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE

Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry.

Never lubricate or service machine while it is moving. Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-driven parts. Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow machine to cool.

Securely support any machine elements that must be raised for service work.

Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.

Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems or welding on machine.

AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS

Safety

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.

Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure fluids.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury may call the Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, or other knowledgeable medical source.

Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher grade. If higher grade fasteners are used, these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.

Make sure fastener threads are clean and you properly start thread engagement. This will prevent them from failing when tightening.

Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 50 percent of amount shown in chart. Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock nuts to full torque value.

Fuel and Lubrication

CAUTION: Handle fuel carefully. Always stop

engine before refueling. Fill fuel tank outdoors. If engine is hot, let engine cool several minutes before you add fuel. Do not smoke while you fill the fuel tank or service the fuel system. Fill fuel tank only to bottom of filler neck.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

Unleaded fuel is recommended. Regular leaded gasoline with an anti-knock index of 87 or higher may be used. Avoid switch from unleaded to regular gasoline to prevent engine damage.

Use of gasohol is acceptable as long as the ethyl alcohol blend does not exceed 10 per cent. Unleaded gasohol is preferred over leaded gasohol.

Fuel tank capacity is 2-1/2 gal (9.5 L). Lift seat. Fill fuel tank at end of each day’s operation.

This helps to keep condensation out of fuel tank.

Use oil viscosity based on the expected air temperature

range during the period between oil changes.

John Deere PLUS-4® engine oil is recommended. Other oils may be used if they meet API Service

Classification SF or SE. Oils meeting Military Specification MIL-L-46167A may be

used as arctic oils.

PEERLESS DIFFERENTIAL OIL—ALL 165, 175 AND 185 (S.N. —475000)

Use oil viscosity as shown on the temperature chart for the expected air temperature range during the drain interval.

SAE 90 oil is recommended in the differential. Other oils shown in the chart can also be used. DO NOT mix oils of different viscosities.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT put SAE 90 oil in the

hydrostatic transmission.
