General Information/Engine Serial Number Plate Information
ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: The engine serial number plate can be
easily destroyed. Remove the plate or
01
4
• Engine Serial Number (A)
Each engine has a 13-digit John Deere engine serial
number identifying the producing factory, engine model
designation, and a 6-digit sequential number. The
following is an example:
The engine serial number plate is located either on the
right-hand side of engine between the oil conditioning
housing and fuel injection pump (viewed from flywheel
end) or on the left-hand side of the block directly above
the starting motor.
• Engine Application Data (B)
The second line of information on the engine serial
number plate identifies the engine/Deere machine or
OEM relationship. See ENGINE APPLICATION CHART
later in this group.
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.
In all cases, the fuel must meet the following
properties:
• Cetane Number 40 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.
• Sulfur Content
— Sulfur content should not exceed 0.5%. Sulfur
content less than 0.05% is preferred.
— If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 0.5%
is used, reduce the service interval for engine oil and
filter changes by 50%.
— DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 1.0%.
Bio-diesel fuels meeting DIN 51606 or equivalent
specification may be used.
RG,FUEL1 -19-22FEB95

LUBRICITY OF DIESEL FUELS
Diesel fuel must have adequate lubricity to ensure
proper operation and durability of fuel injection system
components.
Diesel fuels for highway use in the United States now
require sulfur content less than 0.05%. Diesel fuel in
the European Union will require sulfur content less
than 0.05% by 1 October 1996.
Experience shows that some low sulfur diesel fuels
may have inadequate lubricity and their use may
reduce performance in fuel injection systems due to
inadequate lubrication of injector components. The
lower concentration of aromatic compounds in these
fuels also adversely affects injection pump seals and
may result in leaks.
Use of low lubricity diesel fuels may also cause
accelerated wear, injection nozzle erosion or
corrosion, engine speed instability, hard starting, low
power, and engine smoke.
Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum of 3300 gram
load level as measured by the BOCLE scuffing test.
ASTM D975 and EN 590 specifications do not require
fuels to pass a fuel lubricity test. Diesel fuels meeting
U.S. Military Specification VV—F—800E pass a fuel
lubricity test.
If fuel of low or unknown lubricity is used, add John
Deere ALL-SEASON DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER
or equivalent at the specified concentration.
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant/Engine Break-In Oil
New engines are filled at the factory with John Deere
ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL. During the break-in period,
add John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL as needed
to maintain the specified oil level.
Change the oil and filter after the first 100 hours of
operation of a new or rebuilt engine.
02

After engine overhaul, fill the engine with John Deere
ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL.
If John Deere ENGINE BREAK-IN OIL is not
available, use a diesel engine oil meeting one of the
following during the first 100 hours of operation:
• API Service Classification CE
• CCMC Specification D4
After the break-in period, use John Deere PLUS-50
or other diesel engine oil as recommended in this
manual.
IMPORTANT: Do not use John Deere PLUS-50 oil
or engine oils meeting API CG4,
API CF4, or CCMC D5 performance
levels during the first 100 hours of
operation of a new or rebuilt engine.
These oils will not allow the engine
to break-in properly.
OILSCAN and COOLSCAN are John Deere sampling
programs to help you monitor machine performance and
identify potential problems before they cause serious
damage.
Oil and coolant samples should be taken from each
system prior to its recommended change interval.

OILSCAN and COOLSCAN kits.
T6828AB -UN-15JUN89T6829AB -UN-18OCT88
GREASE
Use grease based on the expected air temperature
range during the service interval.
The following greases are preferred:
• John Deere MOLY HIGH TEMPERATURE EP
GREASE
• John Deere HIGH TEMPERATURE EP GREASE
• John Deere GREASE-GARD™
Other greases may be used if they meet one of the
following:
• SAE Multipurpose EP Grease with a maximum of
5% molybdenum disulfide
• SAE Multipurpose EP Grease
Greases meeting Military Specification MIL-G-10924F

Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant/Engine Coolant Requirements
ALTERNATIVE AND SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS
Conditions in certain geographical areas may require
lubricant recommendations different from those
printed in this manual. Some John Deere lubricants
may not be available in your location. Consult your
John Deere dealer to obtain information and
recommendations.
ENGINE COOLANT REQUIREMENTS
Synthetic lubricants may be used if they meet the
performance requirements listed in this manual.
To meet cooling system protection requirements, the
coolant MUST consist of a 50/50 mixture of quality
water and ethylene glycol concentrate (antifreeze).
Supplemental coolant additives (SCA’s) must be
added to this mixture. Add 3% (by volume) TY16004
or TY16005 Liquid Coolant Conditioner. If an
equivalent product is used, always follow the
IMPORTANT: Supplemental coolant additives
MUST be added to the coolant
solution. Ethylene glycol concentrate
(antifreeze) DOES NOT contain
chemical inhibitors needed to
control liner pitting or erosion, rust,
scale, and acidity.
supplier’s recommendations printed on the container.
See ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS, later in
this section, for further definition.
Makeup of the coolant between changes MUST
consist of the same requirements as during a
complete change. Performing a CoolScan analysis is
the recommended method for determining the amount
of quality water, ethylene glycol concentrate, and
supplemental coolant additives that should be added.
Coolant solutions of ethylene glycol concentrate
(antifreeze), quality water, and supplemental coolant
additives (SCA’s) MUST be used year-round to
protect against freezing, boil-over, liner erosion or
pitting, and to provide a stable, non-corrosive
environment for seals, hoses, and metal engine parts.
Water pump impellers and cylinder liner walls (A)
which are in contact with engine coolant (B) can be
eroded or pitted unless the proper concentration and
type of SCA’s are present in the coolant solution.
Vapor bubbles (C) are formed when piston impacts
against liner ID causing walls to vibrate; sending
compression waves into the coolant.
RG6263 -UN-22APR92
Erosion or pitting is caused by the formation and
collapse of tiny vapor bubbles in the coolant on the
surface of metal parts. Over a period of time, this
pitting will progress completely through the metal.
Generally, the most critical erosion occurs in the
cylinder liner area of wet-sleeve, heavy-duty engines.
If coolant is allowed to enter the combustion
chamber, engine failure or other serious damage will
result.
Use of SCA’s will reduce the effects of erosion and
pitting. The chemicals in the additives form a
protective film on cylinder liner surface. This film acts
as a barrier against collapsing vapor bubbles and
also reduces the quantity of bubbles formed.
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant/Recommended Engine Coolant
RECOMMENDED ENGINE COOLANT
Solutions of antifreeze and supplemental coolant
additives MUST be used year-round for freeze
protection, boil-over protection, and to provide a
stable, non-corrosive environment for seals, hoses
and metal engine parts.
John Deere Prediluted Antifreeze/Summer Coolant is
preferred. John Deere Antifreeze/Summer Coolant
Concentrate and John Deere COOL-GARD™, where
available, are also recommended.
Refer to your vehicle operator’s manual for the
service life of these products.
• JOHN DEERE PREDILUTED
ANTIFREEZE/SUMMER COOLANT
This product contains all the necessary ingredients
that make up the proper coolant solution: chemically
pure water, ethylene glycol (low silicate antifreeze),
and supplemental coolant additives (SCA’s). It is
ready to use; no mixing is required.
John Deere Prediluted Antifreeze/Summer Coolant
permits extended service life.
• JOHN DEERE ANTIFREEZE/SUMMER COOLANT
CONCENTRATE
This product contains ethylene glycol (low silicate
antifreeze) and supplemental coolant additives
(SCA’s). It must be mixed with quality water, as
described later in this section, before adding to the
engine cooling system. The proportion of water to be
used depends upon the lowest freeze protection
temperature desired according to the following table:
% CONCENTRATEFREEZE PROTECTION LIMIT
40-24˚ C (-12˚ F)
50-37˚ C (-34˚ F)
60-52˚ C (-62˚ F)
• JOHN DEERE COOL-GARD™
In certain geographical areas, John Deere
COOL-GARD is marketed for use in the engine
cooling system. This product contains all the
necessary ingredients that make up the proper
coolant solution: chemically pure water, ethylene
glycol (low silicate antifreeze), and supplemental
coolant additives (SCA’s). It is ready to add to cooling
system as is; no mixing or supplemental coolant
additives required. Contact your John Deere Parts
Network for local availability.
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant/Engine Coolant Specifications
ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS
Contact your authorized servicing dealer or engine
distributor to determine what the cooling system of
this engine is filled with and the winter freeze
protection level.
If John Deere coolant products are not used, other
low silicate ethylene glycol base coolants for
02
heavy-duty diesel engines may be used when mixed
8
with quality water and supplemental coolant additives
(SCA’s), if they meet one of the following
specifications:
• ASTM D5345 (prediluted coolant)
• ASTM D4985 (coolant concentrate) in a 40 to 60%
mixture of concentrate with quality water.
Coolants meeting these specifications require addition
of supplemental coolant additives (SCA’s), formulated
for heavy-duty diesel engines, for protection against
corrosion and cylinder liner erosion and pitting.
Water Quality:
Distilled, de-ionized, or demineralized water is
preferred for use in cooling systems. Mineral
(hard/tap) water should NEVER be put in a cooling
system unless first tested. However, water that meets
the following water quality specifications is
acceptable.
If Chlorides, Sulfates, or Total Dissolved Solids are
higher than the above given specifications, the water
must be distilled, de-mineralized, or de-ionized before
using in cooling system.
If Total Hardness is higher than the above given
specification and all other parameters are within the
given specifications, the water must be softened
before using in cooling system.
Ethylene Glycol Concentrate (Antifreeze):
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use ethylene glycol
concentrate containing sealer or
stop-leak additives.

Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA’s):
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over-inhibit antifreeze
solutions, as this can cause
silicate-dropout. When this happens,
a gel-type deposit is created which
retards heat transfer and coolant
flow.
NOTE: John Deere Prediluted Antifreeze/Summer
Coolant, John Deere Antifreeze/Summer
Coolant Concentrate, and John Deere
COOL-GARD contain supplemental coolant
additives (SCA’s). However, as the coolant
solution loses its effectiveness, additives will
need to be added.
Inhibit the antifreeze-coolant mix with a non-chromate
inhibitor such as John Deere Liquid Coolant
Conditioner. SCA’s guard against rust, corrosion, and
liner pitting. ALWAYS follow the supplier’s
recommendations printed on the container.
John Deere Liquid Coolant Conditioner is available in
the following sizes:
IMPORTANT: Check inhibitors between drain
intervals. Replenish inhibitors by the
addition of a supplemental coolant
additive as necessary. See your
vehicle operator’s manual for
details.
DO NOT use soluble oil.
Additives eventually lose their effectiveness and must
be recharged with additional liquid coolant conditioner.
See label on container for recommended service
intervals and concentration rates. See

Through time and use, original additives eventually
lose their effectiveness and must be recharged with
additional supplemental coolant additives available in
the form of liquid coolant conditioner.
Maintaining the correct coolant conditioner
concentration (SCA’s) and freeze point is essential in
your cooling system to protect against liner pitting,
corrosion, and freeze-ups due to incorrect coolant
solution.
A coolant strip test, available from your dealer,
provides a simple, effective way to check freeze point
and molybdate/nitrite levels. These results can be
compared to the SCA chart to determine the amount
of coolant conditioner in your system.
NOTE: Refer to your vehicle operator’s manual for
specific service intervals for checking and
charging your coolant.
For a more thorough evaluation of your coolant,
perform a CoolScan analysis. If a CoolScan analysis
is not available, recharge system per instructions
printed on label of TY16004 or TY16005 John Deere
Liquid Coolant Conditioner.
RG6262 -UN-22APR92
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS maintain coolant at correct
level and concentration. DO NOT
operate engine without coolant for
even a few minutes.
If frequent coolant make-up is
required, the glycol concentration
should be checked with JT05460
Refractometer to assure that the
desired freeze point is maintained.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions
provided with refractometer.
See ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS earlier in
this group for proper mixing of coolant ingredients
before adding to the cooling system.
Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant/Operating in Tropical Conditions
OPERATING IN TROPICAL CONDITIONS
Always use a recommended glycol base engine
coolant, even when operating in geographical areas
where freeze protection is not required.
Only when no glycol base engine coolant (antifreeze)
is available, use distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water meeting the quality specifications on the
previous page. Add to the water an initial charge of
supplemental coolant additives, such as John Deere
Liquid Coolant Conditioner or equivalent. The
recommended concentration of John Deere Liquid
Coolant Conditioner must be doubled to 6% (60 mL
per Liter of cooling system capacity) by volume when
used with water only (no antifreeze). Double other
manufacturer’s recommended concentration.
IMPORTANT: Never use water as the engine
coolant without an initial charge of
supplemental coolant additives.
Using water alone will cause severe
corrosion and pitting damage to
vital engine parts. Drain system and
refill cooling system as specified in
your vehicle operator’s manual.

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 cap
completely.
IMPORTANT: Air must be expelled from cooling
system when system is refilled.
Follow procedure given in your
operator’s manual.
The ethylene glycol base (antifreeze) can become
depleted of SCA’s allowing various acids to form that
will damage engine components. In addition, heavy
metals, such as lead, copper and zinc, accumulate in
the ethylene glycol base. The heavy metals come
from corrosion that occurs to some degree within a
cooling system. When a coolant is saturated to the
point where it can no longer hold heavy metals and
other dissolved solids, they settle out and act as
abrasives on engine parts.
Flush cooling system and replace thermostats as
described in your operator’s manual. Clean cooling
system with clean water and TY15979 John Deere
Heavy-Duty Cooling System Cleaner or an equivalent
cleaner such as FLEETGUARD® RESTORE™. Follow
the instructions provided with the cleaner. Refill
cooling system with the appropriate coolant solution.
See ENGINE COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS, earlier in
this group.
IMPORTANT: NEVER overfill the system. A
pressurized system needs space for
heat expansion without overflowing
at the top of the radiator. Coolant
level should be at bottom of radiator
filler neck.
After adding new coolant solution, run engine until it
reaches operating temperature. This mixes the
coolant solution uniformly and circulates it through the
entire system. After running engine, check coolant
level and entire cooling system for leaks.
Contact your authorized servicing dealer or engine
distributor, if there are further questions.

instructions for mounting the engine.
Engine Mounting/Install 400 Series Adapters on Repair Stand
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The engine repair stand should be used only by
qualified service technicians familiar with this
equipment.
• To maintain shear strength specifications, alloy steel
SAE Grade 8 or higher cap screws must be used to
mount adapters and engine to repair stand. Use
LOCTITE® 242 Thread Lock and Sealer on cap
screws when installing lifting straps on engine.
Tighten cap screws to 170 N·m (125 lb-ft).
03
• For full thread engagement, be certain that tapped
2
holes in adapters and engine blocks are clean and
not damaged. A thread length engagement equal to
1-1/2 screw diameters minimum is required to
maintain strength requirements.
• To avoid structural or personal injury, do not exceed
the maximum capacity rating of 2722 kg (6000 lb).
Maximum capacity is determined with the center of
the engine located not more than 330 mm (13 in.)
from the mounting hub surface of the engine stand.
• To avoid an unsafe off-balance load condition, the
center of balance of an engine must be located within
51 mm (2 in.) of the engine stand rotating shaft.
Engine center of balance is generally located a few
millimeters above the crankshaft.
• To prevent possible personal injury due to engine
slippage, recheck to make sure engine is solidly
mounted before releasing support from engine lifting
device.
• Never permit any part of the body to be positioned
under a load being lifted or suspended. Accidental
slippage may result in personal injury.
• The lifting jack is to be used when it is necessary to
lift the engine for rotation. When working on the
engine, the jack should be at its lowest position to
keep the center of gravity low and the possibility of
tipping low.
• To prevent possible personal injury due to sudden
engine movement, lower engine by operating jack
release valve slowly. Do not unscrew release valve
knob more than two turns from its closed position.

possible engine failure.
Hydraulic lock occurs when trapped oil
in the oil filter housing drains through
the turbocharger, the exhaust and
intake manifolds, and then into the
cylinder head.
After starting the engine, the trapped
oil in the manifold and head is released
into the cylinder(s) filling them with oil
causing hydraulic lock and possible
engine failure.

MARKED “SPECIAL”, later in this group.
Cylinder Head and Valves/Check and Adjust Valve Clearance
CHECK AND ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
Too little valve clearance throws valves out of time.
Valves open too early and close too late. This causes
the valves to overheat due to hot combustion gases
rushing past valves when out of time. Overheating
lengthens valve stems which prevents proper seating of
valves. The valves seat so briefly or poorly that normal
heat transfer into the cooling system does not have time
to take place, causing burned valves and low power.
Too much valve clearance causes a lag in valve timing
causing engine valve train imbalance. The fuel-air
mixture enters the cylinders late during intake stroke.
The exhaust valve closes early and prevents waste
gases from being completely removed from cylinders.
Also, the valves close with a great deal of impact, which
may crack or break the valves and scuff the camshaft
and followers.
NOTE: Valve clearance should be checked with engine
cold.
1. Remove rocker arm cover and ventilator hose (A).
2. Remove plastic plugs (B).
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect contact surfaces of
valve tips or wear caps and rocker arm
wear pads. Check all parts for
excessive wear, breakage, or cracks.

If cylinder head thickness is less than wear limit. DO
NOT attempt to resurface. Install a new cylinder head.
NOTE: If necessary to resurface cylinder head, a
MAXIMUM of 0.762 mm (0.030 in.) can be
ground from new part dimension. Remove ONLY
what is necessary to restore flatness.
IMPORTANT: After resurfacing, check flatness as
described earlier and check surface
finish on combustion face of head.
Check valve recess after grinding. (See
MEASURE VALVE RECESS, earlier in
this group.) Valve seat or valve face
may be ground to bring this
characteristic within specification.
NOTE: Worn guides can allow a clearance of 0.15 mm
(0.006 in.) and still be acceptable. Worn guides
may be knurled to return them to specified
clearance if valve-to-guide clearance is 0.25 mm
(0.010 in.) or less. If clearance exceeds 0.25 mm
(0.010 in.), install oversize valves.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS knurl exhaust valve guides
before reaming to assure proper valve
guide-to-stem clearance.
1. Measure valve seats for proper specifications listed
below.
2. Using D11010KW Eccentrimeter, measure valve seat
runout (D).
3. If valve seat is not within specification, recondition

maintaining required specifications.
ALWAYS keep work area clean when
grinding valve seats.
Using JT05893 Heavy-Duty Seat Grinder
Set, grind valve seats to obtain correct
valve recess in cylinder head. (See
MEASURE VALVE RECESS earlier in
this group.) Be sure valve guide bores
are clean before grinding valve seats.
(See CLEAN VALVE GUIDES earlier in
this group.)
If valve seats need grinding, do not grind too long. Only
a few seconds are required to recondition the average
valve seat. Avoid the tendency to grind off too much. Do
not use too much pressure. While grinding, support the
weight of the dresser to avoid excessive pressure on the
stone.

1. Check the seat width and contact pattern between the
seat and valve with bluing. Seat width MUST BE
maintained within specification. Use a vernier caliper or
scale to measure seat width. Thoroughly clean seat area
after grinding and replace valves and valve seat inserts
as necessary.
NOTE: Valve seat width can be reduced with a
narrowing stone. This will change the angle at
the top of the seat and increase the diameter. If
valve seat width is too narrow, valve may burn or
erode. Varying the width changes the fine contact
between valve face and seat.
2. ALWAYS measure valve seat runout after grinding
using D11010KW Eccentrimeter.

Be sure cylinder head and block gasket
surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any
oil.
1. Put a new head gasket on cylinder block. Do not use
sealant on gasket; install dry.
IMPORTANT: If cylinder head is lowered onto
cylinder block and you discover that
the head is not positioned correctly on
locating dowels, remove cylinder head
and install a new gasket. DO NOT try
to reposition cylinder head on the same
gasket again since the fire ring will
possibly be damaged.
2. Lower cylinder head everly to correct position on block
using appropriate lifting equipment. Make sure that head
is positioned correctly over dowels.
One of the two cylinder head cap screws shown will
be found on the engine, depending upon when the
engine was built.
IMPORTANT: Cylinder head cap screw torque
specifications and tightening
procedures vary depending upon the
grade or type of cap screw used,
and the cylinder block casting
number.
Cylinder block casting numbers R116070, R119995,
R119996, R119997, R119998 and R119999 use
Grade 180 flanged-head cylinder head cap screws.
These cap screws must be tightened using the
“Torque-Turn” method. See TIGHTEN
FLANGED-HEAD CYLINDER HEAD CAP SCREWS
later in this group.
For cylinder blocks with casting numbers R122736,
R122737, R122738, R122739, R122740 and
R122741, the early engines were built with Grade
180 flanged-head cylinder head cap screws, and later
engines are built with cylinder head cap screws
marked “SPECIAL”. For service of these engines,
either type of cylinder head cap screw can be used,
although use of “SPECIAL” cylinder head cap screws
is recommended.
Grade 180 flanged-head cylinder head cap screws
must be tightened using the “TORQUE-TURN”
method. See TIGHTEN FLANGED-HEAD CYLINDER
HEAD CAP SCREWS — GRADE 180, later in this
group.
Cylinder head cap screws marked “SPECIAL” must
be tightened using the “TORQUE-TO-YIELD” method.
See TORQUE-TO-YIELD FLANGED-HEAD CAP
SCREWS—GRADE 180 MARKED “SPECIAL” later in
this group.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT re-use cylinder head cap
screws marked “SPECIAL”, they
may be used only one time.
