operation. Turbochargers may reach temperatures as high
as 500°C (932°F) under full load, and naturally aspired
exhaust manifolds may reach 600°C (1112°F) under full
load. This may ignite paper, cloth or wooden materials.
Parts on engines that have been at full load and reduced
to no load idle will maintain approximately 150°C (302°F).

DPSG,OUO1004,482 –19–07NOV98–1/1
Depending on the final destination, engines can meet
the emissions regulations according to the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air
Resources Board (CARB) and for Europe, the
Directive 97/68/EC relating the measures against the
emissions of particles and gaseous pollutant from
internal combustion engines. Such engines are called
“CERTIFIED” and receive an emission label on the
engine.
The regulations prohibit tampering with the
emission-related components listed below which would
render that component inoperative or to make any
adjustment on the engine beyond published

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
Sulfur content:
• Diesel fuel quality and fuel sulfur content must
comply with all existing emissions regulations for the
area in which the engine operates.
• Sulfur content less than 1000 ppm (0.10%) is
strongly recommended.
• If diesel fuel with sulfur content greater than 1000
ppm (0.10%) is used, crankcase oil service intervals
may be affected.
• Diesel fuel sulfur content greater than 5000 ppm
(0.50%) is NOT recommended.
• DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 10,000 ppm (1.00%).
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

leaving deposits on injectors and in
the combustion chamber.
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
acceptable for use as fuel in any
concentration in John Deere
engines.
These oils do not burn completely,
and will cause engine failure by
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
• Sludge and sediments
• Reduced service life of engine components
Consult your fuel supplier for additives to improve
storage and performance of bio-diesel fuels.

Additional Information About Diesel Engine Coolants and Supplemental Coolant
12
Additives
Engine coolants are a combination of three chemical
components: ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
antifreeze, inhibiting coolant additives, and quality
water.
Coolant specifications
Some products, including John Deere COOL-GARD
Prediluted Coolant, are fully formulated coolants that
contain all three components in their correct
concentrations. Do not add an initial charge of
supplemental coolant additives to these fully
formulated products.
Coolants meeting ASTM D6210 do not require an
initial charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Some coolant concentrates, including John Deere
COOL-GARD Coolant Concentrate, contain both glycol
antifreeze and inhibiting coolant additives. Mix these
products with quality water, but do not add an initial
charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Coolants meeting ASTM D4985 require an initial
charge of supplemental coolant additives.
Replenish coolant additives
simple mixture of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol
and water will not give adequate protection.
Use of supplemental coolant additives reduces
corrosion, erosion, and pitting. These chemicals
reduce the number of vapor bubbles in the coolant and
help form a protective film on cylinder liner surfaces.
This film acts as a barrier against the harmful effects
of collapsing vapor bubbles.
Avoid automotive-type coolants
Never use automotive-type coolants (such as those
meeting ASTM D3306). These coolants do not contain
the correct additives to protect heavy-duty diesel
engines. They often contain a high concentration of
silicates and may damage the engine or cooling
system.
Water quality
Water quality is important to the performance of the
cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol
and propylene glycol base engine coolant concentrate.
All water used in the cooling system should meet the
following minimum specifications for quality:
The concentration of coolant additives is gradually
depleted during engine operation. Periodic
replenishment of inhibitors is required, even when
John Deere COOL-GARD or another fully formulated
coolant is used. Follow the recommendations in this
manual for the use of supplemental coolant additives.
Why use supplemental coolant additives?
Operating without proper coolant additives will result in
increased corrosion, cylinder liner erosion and pitting,
and other damage to the engine and cooling system. A

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.

recommended coolants, replenish additives between
drain intervals by adding a supplemental coolant
additive every 12 months or as determined necessary
by coolant testing.
John Deere COOLANT CONDITIONER is
recommended as a supplemental coolant additive in
John Deere engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not add a supplemental coolant
additive when the cooling system is
drained and refilled with John
DeereCOOL-GARD.
If other coolants are used, consult the coolant supplier
and follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for use
of supplemental coolant additives.
The use of non-recommended supplemental coolant
additives may result in additive drop-out and gelation
of the coolant.
Add the manufacturer’s recommended concentration of
supplemental coolant additive. DO NOT add more than
the recommended amount.

TS281 –UN–23AUG88
The ethylene glycol base (antifreeze) can become
depleted of SCAs, 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.
NOTE: Refer to your operator’s manual for a specific
service interval.
Flush cooling system as described in your operator’s
manual. Clean cooling system with clean water and a
cleaner such as FLEETGUARDRESTORE or
RESTORE PLUS. Follow the instructions provided with
the cleaner. Refill cooling system with the appropriate
coolant solution. See DIESEL ENGINE COOLANT, earlier

Contact your engine servicing dealer, if there are further
questions.
Disposing of Coolant
Improperly disposing of engine coolant can threaten the
environment and ecology.
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

Engine Overhaul Guidelines
Engine life and performance will vary depending on
operating conditions and the level of regular engine
maintenance. Engines can be brought back to original
performance standards through proper overhaul
procedures and replacement of parts with genuine John
Deere service parts. Overhauling the engine prior to
failure can avoid costly repairs and downtime.
Consider installing a John Deere overhaul kit when:
• The engine begins to experience power loss and there
are no known engine component failures.
• The engine is hard to start due to low cranking
compression.
• The engine begins to smoke and there are no known
engine component failures.
• The engine begins to use oil. Refer to Section 04 for
acceptable oil consumption.
• The engine has high usage hours and the owner wants
to take preventive measures to avoid high-cost repairs
and costly downtime.

Engine Stand Safety Precautions
Engine Rebuild
The engine repair stand should be used only by
qualified service technicians familiar with this
equipment.
02
010
To maintain shear strength specifications, alloy steel
2
Class 12.9 or SAE Grade 8 or higher cap screws must
be used to mount adapters and engine to repair stand.
Use LOCTITE242 Thread Lock and Sealer (Medium
Strength) on cap screws when installing lifting straps
on engine. Tighten cap screws to specifications given.
For full thread engagement, be certain that tapped
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.
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 and the possibility of tipping low.
To prevent possible personal injury due to sudden
engine movement, lower the engine by operating jack
release valve slowly. Do not unscrew release valve
knob more than two turns from its closed position.

Sling and safety approved lifting straps that
come with engine. Use extreme caution when
lifting and NEVER permit any part of the body
to be positioned under an engine being lifted or
suspended.
Engine Rebuild
NOTE: If engine lifting straps are misplaced, they should
be procured through service parts.
1. Apply TY9370 LOCTITE242 Thread Lock and Sealer
to lifting strap cap screws. Install lifting straps (B) and
tighten cap screws to the following specifications.
IMPORTANT: Lift engine with longitudinal loading on
lifting sling and lifting brackets only.
Angular loading greatly reduces lifting
capacity of sling and brackets.
Lift spacing on sling is adjustable.
Position each lifting point so that
engine hangs level when lifted.
2. Attach the JDG23 Engine Lifting Sling (A) to engine
lifting straps (B) and overhead hoist or floor crane.

Lifting straps are designed to lift the engine and small
accessories, such as hydraulic pumps and air
compressors mounted to the engine auxiliary gear drive,
or belt-driven components, such as air conditioning
compressors and alternators. If larger components, such
as PTOs, transmissions, generators or air compressors,
are attached to other locations on the engine, the lifting
straps provided with the engine are not intended for this
purpose. Technician is responsible for providing adequate
lifting devices under these situations. See machine
technical manual for additional information on removing
engine from machine.
NOTE: Use of an engine lifting sling (as shown) is the
ONLY APPROVED method for lifting engine.
3. Carefully lift engine and slowly lower to desired
location.

Clean Engine
1. Cap or plug all openings (air intake, exhaust, fuel,
coolant, etc.).
2. Remove electrical components (electronic control
module-ECM, starter, alternator, etc.). Cover electrical
components that are not removed (sensors, wiring
harness, ECM connectors, etc.) with plastic and tape
securely to prevent moisture damage.
IMPORTANT: Never steam clean or pour cold water
on an injection pump while it is still
warm. To do so may cause seizure of
pump parts. Avoid fuel pumps,
injectors, bearings, belts and hoses,
etc.
3. Thoroughly steam clean engine.

on a rollover stand, disconnect
turbocharger oil inlet line (A) from oil
filter housing or turbocharger before
rolling engine over. Failure to do so
may cause a hydraulic lock upon
starting engine. Hydraulic lock may
cause 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.

Engine Break-In Guidelines
Engine break-in should be performed after overhaul or
when the following repairs have been made:
• Main bearings, rod bearings, crankshaft, or any
combination of these parts have been replaced.
• Pistons, rings, or liners have been replaced.
• Rear crankshaft oil seal and wear sleeve have been
replaced. (Primary objective is to see if oil seal still
leaks.)
• Cylinder head has been removed.
• Injection pump has been removed or critical
adjustments have been made while it is on the engine.
(Primary objective is to check power.)

Perform Engine Break-In
Engine Rebuild
IMPORTANT: If engine has a PTO, break-in can be
performed at the PTO if it is done as
02

specified below. To prevent possible
damage to the PTO gearbox, DO
NOT apply full load through the PTO
for any longer than the specified 10
minutes below.
Use a dynamometer to perform the following
preliminary break-in procedure. If necessary,
preliminary engine break-in can be performed without
a dynamometer if under controlled operating
conditions.
IMPORTANT: USE ONLY John Deere Engine
Break-In Oil or equivalent. DO NOT
use John Deere PLUS-50 oil or
engine oils meeting API CI-4, API
CH-4, API CG-4, API CF-4, API CF-2,
API CF, ACEA E5, ACEA E4 or ACEA
E3 performance levels during
break-in period of an engine that has
had a major overhaul. These oils will
not allow an overhauled engine to
properly wear during the break-in
period.
If John Deere Engine Break-In Oil is not available,
use diesel engine oil meeting API Service
Classification CC, CD or CE or ACEA Specification
E1 or E2.
IMPORTANT: During preliminary break-in,
periodically check engine oil
pressure and coolant temperature.
Also check for signs of fuel, oil, or
coolant leaks.
Do not run engine at full load for
more than 10 minutes at one time.
2. Start engine. Run at loads and speeds shown in
following chart for time limits given.
3. After preliminary break-in, run engine 1—2 minutes
at 1500 rpm, with no load before shut-down.
Do not add makeup oil until the oil
level is BELOW the add mark. John
Deere Engine Break-In Oil should be
used to make up any oil consumed
during break-in period.
DO NOT fill above the crosshatch
pattern or FULL mark. Oil levels
anywhere within the crosshatch are
acceptable.
1. Fill engine crankcase to proper level with John
Deere Engine Break-In Oil during break-in
operation. Use break-in oil regardless of ambient
temperature. This oil is specifically formulated to
enhance break-in of John Deere diesel engines.
Under normal conditions, do not exceed 100 hours
with break-in oil.
4. Check and readjust valve clearance as necessary.
Cylinder head retorque is not required.
NOTE: During the first 20 hours, avoid prolonged
periods of engine idling or sustained maximum
load operation. If engine will idle longer than 5
minutes, stop engine.
5. Operate the engine at heavy loads with minimal
idling during the break-in period.
If the engine has significant operating time at idle,
constant speeds, and/or light load usage, an additional
100 hour break-in period is recommended, using a
new change of John Deere Engine Break-In Oil and
new John Deere oil filter.

Engine Rebuild
Check engine oil level more frequently during engine
break-in period. As a general rule, makeup oil should
not need to be added during 100-hour break-in period.
However, if makeup oil is required in the first 100-hour
break-in, an additional 100-hour break-in period is
required. Use a new change of John Deere Engine
Break-In Oil and a new John Deere oil filter.
After 100 hours maximum, drain break-in oil and
change oil filter. Fill crankcase with John Deere

NOTE: Some increase in oil consumption may be
expected when low viscosity oils are used.
Check oil levels more frequently.
If air temperature is below —10°C (14°F), use
an engine block heater.
