READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to operate
and service your engine correctly. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a
permanent part of your engine and should remain with
the engine when you sell it.
MEASUREMENTS IN THIS MANUAL are given in both
metric and customary U.S. unit equivalents. Use only
correct replacement parts and fasteners. Metric and
inch fasteners may require a specific metric or inch
wrench.
WRITE ENGINE SERIAL NUMBERS and option codes
in the spaces indicated in the Record Keeping Section.
Accurately record all the numbers. Your dealer also
needs these numbers when you order parts. File the
identification numbers in a secure place off the engine.
SETTING FUEL DELIVERY beyond published factory
specifications or otherwise overpowering will result in
loss of warranty protection for this engine.
Emission certified for United States as EPA Tier 2 and for European
Union as Stage II.

Engine Option Codes
A—Engine Base Code
In addition to the serial number plate, OEM engines
have an engine option code label affixed to the rocker
arm cover. These codes indicate which of the engine
options were installed on your engine at the factory.
When in need of parts or service, furnish your
authorized servicing dealer or engine distributor with
these numbers.
RG11946 –UN–06NOV01
The engine option code label includes an engine base
code (A). This base code must also be recorded along
with the option codes.
The first two digits of each code identify a specific
group, such as alternators. The last two digits of each
code identify one specific option provided on your
engine, such as a 12-volt, 55-amp alternator.
NOTE: These option codes are based on the latest
information available at the time of publication.
The right is reserved to make changes at any
time without notice.
If an engine is ordered without a particular component,
the last two digits of that functional group option code
will be 99, 00, or XX. The list on the next page shows
only the first two digits of the code numbers. For future
reference such as ordering repair parts, it is important
to have these code numbers available. To ensure this
availability, enter the third and fourth digits shown on

Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
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 should reference a knowledgeable
medical source. Such information is available from Deere
& Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.
X9811 –UN–23AUG88
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
yourself and bystanders. Do not heat by welding,
soldering, or using a torch near pressurized fluid lines or
other flammable materials. Pressurized lines can
accidentally burst when heat goes beyond the immediate
flame area.
Do Not Open High-Pressure Fuel System
High-pressure fluid remaining in fuel lines can cause
serious injury. Do not disconnect or attempt repair of fuel
lines, sensors, or any other components between the
high-pressure fuel pump and nozzles on engines with
High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system.

Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated
by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Remove paint before heating:
• Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from area
to be affected by heating. If paint cannot be removed,
wear an approved respirator before heating or welding.
• If you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust.
Wear an approved respirator.
• If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with
soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or
paint stripper containers and other flammable material
from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes
before welding or heating.
Do not use a chlorinated solvent in areas where welding
will take place.
TS220 –UN–23AUG88
Do all work in an area that is well ventilated to carry toxic
fumes and dust away.
Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Service Cooling System Safely
Explosive release of fluids from pressurized cooling
system can cause serious burns.
Shut off engine. Only remove filler cap when cool enough
to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to first stop
to relieve pressure before removing completely.

Diesel Fuel
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant
Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the
diesel fuel available in your area.
In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low
temperature requirements of the geographical area in
which they are marketed.
Diesel fuels specified to EN 590 or ASTM D975 are
recommended.
Required fuel properties
In all cases, the fuel shall meet the following
properties:
Cetane number of 45 minimum. Cetane number
greater than 50 is preferred, especially for
temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or elevations above
1500 m (5000 ft).
Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) below the
expected low temperature OR Cloud Point at least
5°C(9°F) below the expected low temperature.
Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum level of 3100
grams as measured by ASTM D6078 or maximum
scar diameter of 0.45 mm as measured by ASTM
D6079 or ISO 12156-1.
Sulfur content:
• Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content must
comply with all existing emissions regulations for the
area in which the engine operates.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than
0.10% (1000 ppm) is STRONGLY recommended.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.10% (1000
ppm to 0.50% (5000 ppm) may result in REDUCED
oil and filter change intervals.
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 0.50% (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
• DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 1.0%.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix used diesel engine oil or
any other type of lubricating oil with
diesel fuel.
IMPORTANT: Improper fuel additive usage may
cause damage on fuel injection
equipment of diesel engines.
Lubricity of Diesel Fuel
Most diesel fuels manufactured in the United States,
Canada, and the European Union have adequate
lubricity to ensure proper operation and durability of
fuel injection system components. However, diesel
fuels manufactured in some areas of the world may
lack the necessary lubricity.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the diesel fuel used in
your machine demonstrates good
lubricity characteristics.

CAUTION: Handle fuel carefully. Do not fill
the fuel tank when engine is running.
DO NOT smoke while you fill the fuel tank or
service the fuel system.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of each day’s operation to
prevent water condensation and freezing during cold
weather.
Keep all storage tanks as full as practicable to
minimize condensation.
Ensure that all fuel tank caps and covers are installed
properly to prevent moisture from entering.
Monitor water content of the fuel regularly.
When using bio-diesel fuel, the fuel filter may require
more frequent replacement due to premature plugging.
Check engine oil level daily prior to starting engine. A
rising oil level may indicate fuel dilution of the engine
oil.
IMPORTANT: The fuel tank is vented through the
filler cap. If a new filler cap is
required, always replace it with an
original vented cap.
When fuel is stored for an extended period or if there
is a slow turnover of fuel, add a fuel conditioner to
stabilize the fuel and prevent water condensation.

Consult your local fuel distributor for properties of the
bio-diesel fuel available in your area.
Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the bio-diesel
fuel properties meet the latest edition of ASTM D6751,
EN 14214, or equivalent specification.
It is recommended to purchase bio-diesel fuel blended
with B100 from a BQ-9000 Accredited Producer or a
BQ-9000 Certified Marketer as recommended by the
National Bio-diesel Board.
The maximum allowable bio-diesel concentration is a
5% blend (also known as B5) in petroleum diesel fuel.
It has been found that bio-diesel fuels may improve
lubricity in concentrations up to this 5% blend.
When using a blend of bio-diesel fuel, the engine oil
level must be checked daily when the air temperature
is –10°C (14°F) or lower. If oil becomes diluted with
fuel, shorten oil change intervals accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Raw pressed vegetable oils are NOT

the combustion chamber.
A major environmental benefit of bio-diesel fuel is its
ability to biodegrade. This makes proper storage and
handling of bio-diesel fuel especially important. Areas
of concern include:
• Quality of new fuel
• Water content of the fuel
• Problems due to aging of the fuel
Potential problems resulting from deficiencies in the
above areas when using bio-diesel fuel in
concentrations above 5% may lead to the following
symptoms:
• Power loss and deterioration of performance
• Fuel leakage
• Corrosion of fuel injection equipment
• Coked and/or blocked injector nozzles, resulting in
engine misfire
• Filter plugging
• Lacquering and/or seizure of internal components

Minimizing the Effect of Cold Weather on Diesel Engines
John Deere diesel engines are designed to operate
effectively in cold weather.
However, for effective starting and cold weather
operation, a little extra care is necessary. The
information below outlines steps that can minimize the
effect that cold weather may have on starting and
operation of your engine. See your John Deere dealer
for additional information and local availability of cold
weather aids
Use Winter Grade Fuel
When temperatures fall below 5°C (40°F), winter grade
fuel (Grade No. 1-D fuel in North America) is best
suited for cold weather operation. Winter grade fuel
has a lower cloud point and a lower pour point.
Cloud point is the temperature at which wax will begin
to form in the fuel and this wax causes fuel filters to
plug. Pour point is the temperature at which fuel
begins to thicken and becomes more resistant to flow
through fuel pumps and lines.
NOTE: On an average, winter grade fuel has a lower
BTU (heat content) rating. Using winter grade
fuel may reduce power and fuel efficiency, but
should not cause any other engine
performance effects. Check the grade of fuel
being used before troubleshooting for low
power complaints in cold weather operation.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid with
an engine equipped with glow plugs
Coolant Heater
An engine block heater (coolant heater) is an available
option to aid cold weather starting.
Seasonal Viscosity Oil and Proper Coolant
Concentration
Use seasonal grade viscosity engine oil based ion the
expected air temperature range between oil changes
and proper concentration of low silicate antifreeze as
recommended. (See DIESEL ENGINE OIL and
ENGINE COOLANT requirements this section.)
Diesel Fuel Flow Additive
Use John Deere Premium Diesel Fuel Conditioner
(Winter) or equivalent to treat fuel during the cold
weather season. This winter formulation is a
combination diesel fuel conditioner and anti-gel
additive.
IMPORTANT: Treat fuel when outside temperature
drops below 0°C (32°F). For best
results, use with untreated fuel.
Follow all recommended instructions
on label.
Air Intake Heater
An air intake heater is an available option to aid cold
weather starting.
CAUTION: Do not use any starting fluid with
an air intake heater.
Starting Fluid
A starting fluid port on the intake is available to aid
cold weather starting.
Winterfronts
Use of fabric, cardboard , or solid winterfronts is not
recommended with any John Deere engine. Their use
can result in excessive engine coolant, oil, and charge
air temperatures. This can lead to reduced engine life,
loss of power and poor fuel economy. Winterfronts
may also put abnormal stress on fan and fan drive
components potentially causing premature failures.

Diesel Engine Oil and Filter Service Intervals
The oil and filter service intervals in the following
charts should be used as guidelines. Actual service
intervals depend on operation and maintenance
practices. Use oil analysis to determine the actual
useful life of the oil and to aid in selection of the
proper oil and filter service interval.
Oil and filter service intervals are based on a
combination of oil pan capacity, type of engine oil and
filter used, and sulfur content of the diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel sulfur level will affect engine oil and filter
service intervals. Higher fuel sulfur levels reduce oil
and filter service intervals as shown in the table:
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than
0.05% (500 ppm ) is strongly recommended.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content 0.05% (500
ppm) to 0.50% (5000 ppm) may result in REDUCED
oil and filter change intervals as shown in the table.
• BEFORE using diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 0.50% (5000 ppm), contact your John Deere
dealer.
Oil types (premium or standard) in the tables include:
Refer to the charts on the following pages to find the
proper oil and filter service interval for your engine.
Using Charts to Find Oil and Filter Service Interval
1. Determine your engine model and power rating and
find it in the left column of 4.5 L or 6.8 L chart.
2. Locate your engine oil pan option code (19__) on
engine label.
3. In the chart column under your oil pan code, select
whether you use premium oil (PLUS-50 or
equivalent) or standard grade oil.
4. Determine the sulfur content of your diesel fuel.
5. Now you can find the proper oil and filter change
interval by lining up your power level and fuel sulfur
content with oil pan/oil type column. The number
indicates how frequent your oil and filter should be
changed (example: every 500 hours of operation).
• “Premium Oils” include John Deere PLUS-50,
ACEA E7, ACEA E6, ACEA E5 or ACEA E4 oils.
• “Standard Oils” include John Deere TORQ-GARD

Testing Diesel Engine Coolant
Testing Diesel Engine Coolant
Maintaining adequate concentrations of glycol and
inhibiting additives in the coolant is critical to protect
the engine and cooling system against freezing,
corrosion, and cylinder liner erosion and pitting.
Test the coolant solution at intervals of 12 months or
less and whenever excessive coolant is lost through
leaks or overheating.
Coolant test strips
Coolant test strips are available from your John Deere
dealer. These test strips provide a simple, effective
method to check the freeze point and additive levels of
your engine coolant.
Compare the results to the supplemental coolant
additive (SCA) chart to determine the amount of
inhibiting additives in your coolant and whether more

Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant
Operating in Warm Temperature Climates
John Deere engines are designed to operate using glycol
base engine coolants.
Always use a recommended glycol base engine coolant,
even when operating in geographical areas where freeze
protection is not required.
IMPORTANT: Water may be used as coolant
in
emergency situations only.
Foaming, hot surface aluminum and
iron corrosion, scaling, and cavitation
will occur when water is used as the
coolant, even when coolant
conditioners are added.
Drain cooling system and refill with
recommended glycol base engine
coolant as soon as possible.
Disposing of Coolant
Improperly disposing of engine coolant can threaten the
environment and ecology.
DX,COOL6 –19–18MAR96–1/1
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste
from your local environmental or recycling center, or from
your John Deere engine distributor or servicing dealer.

the cruise control active, the cruise control will disengage
and the engine speed will drop to idle. If the contact is
made again within one minute and with the engine speed
above 1300 rpm, the cruise control will “resume”. This
feature allows the placement of the cancel/resume button
in a convenient location in the vehicle cab and does not
require the use of the normal cruise controls for
momentary interruptions in cruise operation.

The cancel/resume function is intended for applications
like agricultural tractors and sprayers that turn around at
the end of each row in a field. This allows the operator to
use the throttle and/or brake to turn the vehicle around.
When ready to resume field operations, the operator
brings the engine speed above 1300 rpm and activates
the cancel/resume function again to resume cruise speed.
An internal timer gives the operator one minute to
complete the turnaround maneuver.
The cruise control has the normal functions of:
• Cruise control power “ON” or “OFF”.
• “Set” or “bump up” engine speed.
• “Resume” or “bump down” engine speed.
• Use vehicle brake or clutch pedal to disengage cruise
control.
The “bump up” and “bump down” speed controls allow the
operator to change the set speed. Small engine speed
changes can be made by “bumping” the control switch.
Holding the “bump up” or “bump down” switch will result in
greater engine rpm changes until the engine reaches
either full speed or idle. The cruise control cannot operate
beyond the normal min/max engine speeds.

Following is a brief description of the components on a
basic instrument (gauge) panel:
A—Tachometer with Hourmeter - The optional
tachometer with hourmeter indicates engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm) and shows the operating
hours of the engine while key switch is in the “ON”
position. The hour meter should be used as a guide for
scheduling periodic service.
B—Coolant Temperature Gauge - The coolant
temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature. It is connected to a warning lamp to warn
the operator if coolant temperature rises above the preset,
safe operating temperature.
C—Oil Pressure Gauge - The oil pressure gauge
indicates engine oil pressure. It is connected to a warning
lamp to warn the operator if engine oil pressure falls
below a safe operating pressure.
D—Pre-Heat Indicator Lamp - This indicator lamp is
initially turned on when the key switch is turned to the
“HEAT” position to activate the preheater for cold weather
starting. Lamp is connected to a timer that turns the lamp
off after 15 seconds when the key switch is held at
“HEAT” position. When the lamp goes out, start the
engine.

F—Oil Pressure Indicator Lamp - Warns operator that
engine oil pressure is below a safe operating level. If lamp
stays lit while engine is running faster than slow idle, stop
engine immediately and check engine oil level.
G—Coolant Temperature Indicator Lamp - Warns
operator that engine coolant temperature exceeds safe
operating level. If lamp is lit during full load operation, the
engine is overheated. Stop engine and immediately check
fan belt tension and coolant level in radiator.
H—Key Switch - The key switch controls the electrical
system. Positions of key switch are marked as follows:
OFF, ON, and START. There is also a HEAT position for
cold weather starting.
