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.

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

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.

NOTE: The 756 and 856 tractors are identical to the

755 and 855 tractors; therefore, all information pertaining to the 755 also pertains to the 756 and the same is true for the 855 and the 856 tractors. The 655, 756 and 856 tractors were all discontinued before the late model 755 and 855 tractors and the new 955 tractors were produced. Therefore, any late model references do not include the 655, 756, and 856 tractors.

Group 05

Safety

When you work around fuel, do not smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards.

Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Do not incinerate or puncture pressurized containers.

Make sure machine is clean of trash, grease, and debris. Do not store oily rags; they can ignite and burn

spontaneously.

PREVENT BATTERY EXPLOSIONS

Keep sparks, lighted matches, and open flame away from the top of battery. Battery gas can explode.

10 05 1

TS227 -UN-23AUG88

DX,FLAME -19-04JUN90

Never check battery charge by placing a metal object across the posts. Use a volt-meter or hydrometer.

Do not charge a frozen battery; it may explode. Warm battery to 16˚C (60˚F).

PREVENT ACID BURNS

Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is

strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and

cause blindness if splashed into eyes. Avoid the hazard by:

1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.

2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.

3. Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.

4. Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.

5. Use proper jump start procedure. If you spill acid on yourself:

1. Flush your skin with water.

2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.

3. Flush your eyes with water for 10—15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

If acid is swallowed:

1. Drink large amounts of water or milk.

2. Then drink milk of magnesia, beaten eggs, or vegetable oil.

3. Get medical attention immediately.

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 should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

KEEP ROPS INSTALLED PROPERLY

Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the

roll-over protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or

removed for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque.

The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending, drilling, or cutting. A damaged ROPS should be replaced, not reused.

Safety

TS212 -UN-23AUG88

DX,ROPS3 -19-04JUN90

SERVICE TIRES SAFELY

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

AVOID HARMFUL ASBESTOS DUST

Safety

Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers. Inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer.

Components in products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos used in these components is usually found in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as airborne dust containing asbestos is not generated.

Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid brushing or grinding material containing asbestos. When servicing, wear an approved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner is recommended to clean asbestos. If not available, apply a mist of oil or water on the material containing asbestos.

Keep bystanders away from the area.

10 05 7

TS220 -UN-23AUG88

WORK IN CLEAN AREA

Before starting a job:

• Clean work area and machine.

• Make sure you have all necessary tools to do your job.

• Have the right parts on hand.

• Read all instructions thoroughly; do not attempt shortcuts.

USE PROPER TOOLS

Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools and

procedures can create safety hazards.

Use power tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners.

For loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct size tools. DO NOT use U.S. measurement tools on metric fasteners. Avoid bodily injury caused by slipping wrenches.

Use only service parts meeting John Deere specifications.

Safety

TS779 -UN-08NOV89

DX,REPAIR -19-04JUN90

DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

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.

Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations may require a certified air conditioning service center to recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.

Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste from your local environmental or recycling center, or from your John Deere dealer.

DIESEL FUEL - NORTH AMERICA

In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low air temperature requirements of the geographical area in which they are sold.

In North America, diesel fuel is usually specified to ASTM D975 and sold as either Grade 1 for cold air temperatures or Grade 2 for warm air temperatures.

If diesel fuels being supplied in your area DO NOT meet any of the above specifications, use diesel fuels with the following equivalent properties:

•Cetane Number 40 (minimum) A cetane number greater than 50 is preferred,

especially for air temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).

•Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) The air temperature at which diesel fuel begins to

cloud or jell — at least 5°C (9°F) below the expected low air temperature range.

•Sulfur Content of 0.05% Diesel fuels for highway use in the United States now

require sulfur content to be less than 0.05%. If diesel fuel being used has a sulfur content greater

than 0.05%, reduce the service interval for engine oil and filter by 50%.

Consult your local diesel fuel distributor for properties of the diesel fuel available in your area.

California Proposition 65 Warning: Diesel engine exhaust and some of its elements from this product are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

WARNING

DIESEL FUEL LUBRICITY

Diesel fuel must have adequate lubricity to ensure proper operation and durability of fuel injection system components. Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum of 3300 gram load level as measured by the BOCLE scuffing test.

DIESEL FUEL STORAGE

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE GALVANIZED

CONTAINERS—diesel fuel stored in galvanized containers reacts with zinc coating in the container to form zinc flakes. If fuel contains water, a zinc gel will also form. The gel and flakes will quickly plug fuel filters and damage fuel injectors and fuel pumps.

It is recommended that diesel fuel be stored ONLY in a clean, approved POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC container WITHOUT any metal screen or filter. This will help prevent any accidental sparks from occurring. Store fuel in an area that is well ventilated to prevent possible igniting of fumes by an open flame or spark, this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

IMPORTANT: Keep all dirt, scale, water or other

foreign material out of fuel.

Keep fuel in a safe, protected area and in a clean, properly marked (“DIESEL FUEL”) container. DO NOT use deicers to attempt to remove water from fuel. DO NOT depend on fuel filters to remove water from fuel. It is recommended that a water separator be installed in the storage tank outlet. BE SURE to properly discard unstable or contaminated diesel fuel and/or their containers when necessary.

DIESEL FUEL - EUROPE

In general, diesel fuels are blended to satisfy the low air temperature requirements of the geographical area in which they are sold.

In Europe, diesel fuel is usually specified to EN590 and sold in 5 different classes or 6 different grades.

If diesel fuels being supplied in your area DO NOT meet any of the above specifications, use diesel fuels with the following equivalent properties:

•Cetane Number 40 (minimum) A cetane number greater than 50 is preferred,

especially for air temperatures below –20°C (–4°F) or elevations above 1500 m (5000 ft).

If diesel fuel being used has a sulfur content greater than 0.05%, reduce the service interval for engine oil and filter by 50%.

Consult your local diesel fuel distributor for properties of the diesel fuel available in your area.

•Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) The air temperature at which diesel fuel begins to

cloud or jell — at least 5°C (9°F) below the expected low air temperature range.

•Sulfur Content of 0.05% Diesel fuel for highway use in the European Union

will be required to have a sulfur content of less than

0.05% by 1 October 1996. If diesel fuel being used has a sulfur content greater

than 0.05%, reduce the service interval for engine oil and filter by 50%.

Consult your local diesel fuel distributor for properties of the diesel fuel available in your area.

ALTERNATIVE LUBRICANTS NORTH AMERICA

Conditions in certain geographical areas outside the United States and Canada may require different lubricant recommendations than the ones printed in this technical manual or the operator's manual. Consult with your John Deere Dealer, or Sales Branch, to obtain the alternative lubricant recommendations.

SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS

Synthetic lubricants may be used in John Deere equipment if they meet the applicable performance requirements (industry classification and/or military specification) as shown in this manual.

The recommended air temperature limits and service or lubricant change intervals should be maintained as shown in the operator’s manual, unless otherwise stated on lubricant label.

IMPORTANT: Use of alternative lubricants could

cause reduced life of the component.

If alternative lubricants are to be used, it is recommended that the factory fill be thoroughly removed before switching to any alternative lubricant.

Avoid mixing different brands, grades, or types of oil. Oil manufacturers blend additives in their oils to meet certain specifications and performance requirements. Mixing different oils can interfere with the proper functioning of these additives and degrade lubricant performance.

10 20

LUBRICANT STORAGE

All machines operate at top efficiency only when clean lubricants are used. Use clean storage containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture, and other contamination.

MIXING OF LUBRICANTS

In general, avoid mixing different brands or types of lubricants. Manufacturers blend additives in their lubricants to meet certain specifications and performance requirements.

OIL FILTERS

IMPORTANT: Filtration of oils is critical to proper

lubrication performance. Always change filters regularly.

The following John Deere oil filters are PREFERRED:

•AUTOMOTIVE AND LIGHT TRUCK ENGINE OIL FILTERS.

Most John Deere filters contain pressure relief and antidrainback valves for better engine protection.

Store drums on their sides. Make sure all containers are properly marked as to their contents. Dispose of all old, used containers and their contents properly.

Mixing different lubricants can interfere with the proper functioning of these additives and lubricant properties which will downgrade their intended specified performance.

Other oil filters may be used if above recommended John Deere oil filters are not available, provided they meet the following specification:

•ASTB Tested In Accordance With SAE J806. John Deere Dealers: You may want to cross-reference

the following publications to recommend the proper oil filter for your customers:

•Module DX, FILT in JDS–G135;

IMPORTANT: A faulty air restriction indicator, that

goes undetected, may cause a dusted engine. Make sure all air restriction indicators are in good condition and the proper air restriction indicator is installed (DIESEL INDICATOR ON DIESEL ENGINE) before any tractor so equipped is released to the customer. Always test new indicators.

1. Remove the air restriction indicator (A) with your fingers—DO NOT use a pliers.

2. Carefully clean the inlet area of the indicator without getting dirt inside.

3. Put the inlet in your mouth and suck until the indicator locks in the red position.

4. Remove the inlet from your mouth and push the reset button. The indicator should reset to zero. If the indicator does not lock in the red or will not reset, check for air leaks in the filtered portion of the intake system. If remote mounted, check for leaks in the restriction indicator hose. Replace if necessary.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT: If replacing original alternator with

service alternator be sure to order correct mounting hardware. These installation procedures apply to the following engine serial numbers 655 (sn 025201 and below), 755 (s/n 030103 and below), 855 (s/n -009848 and below), and 955 (s/n -009848 and below). For all other alternators the procedures differ slightly. Use exploded view for reference.

NOTE: For 855’s only. If alternator belt cannot be

removed (because top mounting tab hits muffler when pushed in) grind away back edge to provide clearance. This has already been done on engines s/n CH3033A010453 and above.

Group 10

Alternator Installation

1. Remove and discard original 8 mm diameter lower

mounting bolt (A).

2. The rear (engine block) side of the lower engine

alternator mounting boss is threaded to access a 10 mm bolt or stud (B).

3. (655 & 755) Install the appropriate length 10 mm

pivot bolt and tighten to 27 N•m (20 lb-ft).

4. (855 & 955) Install stud in lower pivot hole on radiator

side. Slide alternator pivot hole over stud and secure with nut tightened to 48•m (35 lb-ft).

5. Install belt on alternator pulley.

6. Belt should deflect approximately 10-15 mm (0.400-

0.600 in.) at 98N (22lb) force between sheaves. Check

belt tension between fan and alternator using belt tension gauge and a straight edge.

7. To adjust belt, loosen adjusting nut, apply pressure to

front alternator housing only (near the belt) until tension is correct, then tighten nut.

8. Tighten remaining hardware. See Section 10 Group

15 Repair Information for additional torque values.

9. Install red wire to top stud terminal (positive

terminal).

M85128

35-Amp Alternator

10. Plug yellow/brown wire connector into connector at

rear of housing (charging system).

11. Install black wire to bottom bolt at rear of housing

(ground terminal).

NOTE: There is no separate voltage regulator. The

regulator was built into original 35-amp alternator and is built into new 40-amp alternator.
