Fuel lubricity should pass a minimum of 3100 gram
load level as measured by the BOCLE scuffing test.
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 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.
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%
sulfur content is used, reduce the service interval for
engine oil and filter by 50%.
• DO NOT use diesel fuel with sulfur content greater
than 1.0%.
Bio-diesel fuels may be used ONLY if the fuel
properties meet DIN 51606 or equivalent specification.
DO NOT mix used engine oil or any other type of
lubricant with diesel fuel.

It has been found that bio-diesel fuels may improve
lubricity in concentrations up to a 5% blend (also
known as B5) in petroleum diesel fuel.
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
leaving deposits on injectors and in
the combustion chamber.
A major environmental benefit of bio-diesel fuel is its
ability to biodegrade. This makes proper storage and
• 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.

Lubricity of Diesel Fuel
Diesel fuel must have adequate lubricity to ensure
proper operation and durability of fuel injection system
components.
ASTM D975 and EN 590 specifications do not require
fuels to pass a fuel lubricity test.
Sulfur content of diesel fuel for highway use is less
than 0.05% (500 ppm) in the United States and
Canada, and less than 0.035% (350 ppm) in the
European Union.
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 injection pump components.
The lower concentration of aromatic compounds in
01
002
3
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 load 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.
If fuel of low or unknown lubricity is used, add John
Deere PREMIUM DIESEL FUEL CONDITIONER (or
equivalent) at the specified concentration.
Dieselscan Fuel Analysis
DIESELSCAN is a John Deere fuel sampling program to
help you monitor the quality of your fuel source. It verifies
fuel type, cleanliness, water content, suitability for cold
weather operation, and if fuel is within ASTM
specifications. Check with your John Deere dealer for
availability of DIESELSCAN kits.

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 procedure
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 measure to avoid high-cost repairs
and costly downtime.

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.

Disconnect Turbocharger Oil Inlet Line
1. Drain all engine oil and coolant, if not previously done.
IMPORTANT: When servicing turbocharged engines
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.
2. Disconnect turbocharger oil inlet line at turbocharger or
oil filter base.

(or attach sling to front plate lift eye) and tighten cap
screws to specification.
IMPORTANT: 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 PTO’s, transmissions, generators or
air compressors, are attached to other
locations on the engine, the lift 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.
CAUTION: The only approved method for lifting
the 6105 and 6125 Engine is with the use of
JDG23 Lifting Sling (D), R128000 Rear Lift Strap
(E) and R503481 (OEM & AT801 Applications
Only) or R128001 Front Lift Strap (F). The front
plate lift eye (B) can be used as a lifting point
instead of R503481 (OEM & AT801 Applications
Only) or R128001 Front Lift Strap. Use extreme
caution when lifting and NEVER permit any part
of the body to be positioned under an engine
being lifted or suspended.
02
010
5
Lift engine with longitudinal loading on lift sling
and lifting brackets only. Angular loading
greatly reduces lifting capacity of sling and
brackets.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that engine lifting straps are
secured with Class 12.9 (or higher
class) cap screws. Apply TY9370
LOCTITE242 Thread Lock and Sealer
to lift strap cap screws.
NOTE: If lift eye in front plate (B) is used instead of
R503481 (OEM & AT801 Applications Only) or
R128001 Front Lift Strap, remove alternator (A).
If front lift strap (F) is being used, remove exhaust
shield (C) and install lift strap using shield
mounting cap screw holes.

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.
Electronic unit injectors have been removed or critical
adjustments have been made while they are on the
engine. (Primary objective of break-in is to check power).

16
specified below. To prevent possible
damage to the PTO gear box, 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: DO NOT use John Deere PLUS-50 oil
or engine oils meeting API CG4, API
CF4, ACEA E3 or ACEA E2,
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.
Do not add makeup oil until the oil
level is BELOW the add mark. John
Deere 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.
If John Deere Engine Break-In Oil is not available,
use diesel engine oil meeting API Service
Classification CE or ACEA Specification E1.
IMPORTANT: During preliminary break-in,
periodically check engine oil
pressure and coolant temperature.
Also check for signs of fuel, oil, or

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

Preliminary Engine Testing Before Tune-Up
Before tuning-up an engine, determine if a tune-up will
restore operating efficiency. If in doubt, the following
preliminary tests will help determine if the engine can be
02
tuned-up. Choose from the following procedures only
010
those necessary to restore the unit.
22
1. After engine has stopped for several hours, loosen
crankcase drain plug and watch for any water to seep
out. A few drops could be due to condensation, but
any more than this would indicate problems which
require engine repairs rather than just a tune-up.
2. With engine stopped, inspect engine coolant for oil film.
With engine running, inspect coolant for air bubbles.
Either condition would indicate problems which require
engine repairs rather than just a tune-up.
3. Perform a dynamometer test and record power output.
(See DYNAMOMETER TEST in Section 04, Group
150.) Repeat dynamometer test after tune-up.
Compare power output before and after tune-up.

General Tune-Up Recommendations
As a general rule, an engine tune-up is not necessary if
ALL recommended operator’s manual hourly service
procedures are performed on schedule. If your engine
performance is not within the rated application guidelines,
the following service procedures are recommended to
help restore engine to normal operating efficiency.
IMPORTANT: These engines are equipped with
electronically-controlled governors
which have a diagnostic feature that will
display detailed codes to alert operator
of specific performance problems. Refer
to CTM115 for Delphi/Lucas ECU

carefully rocking flywheel back and
forth.
4. Rotate engine flywheel in running direction
(counterclockwise as viewed from rear) until JDG971
Timing Pin (A) engages single timing slot (D) in
camshaft. The proper timing slot can be found by
viewing camshaft timing lobe through camshaft timing
pin bore while rotating engine. The double timing slot
(E) will be at approximately 11 o’clock (viewed from
rear of engine) when pin is installed in slot (D).This
ensures that engine is locked at TDC of No. 1
cylinder’s compression stroke. Intake and exhaust
rocker arms on No. 1 cylinder should be loose.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT insert timing pin full depth into
cylinder block crankshaft timing hole
when rotating engine flywheel until
double slot on camshaft timing lobe is
at approximately 11 o’clock (viewed
from rear of engine) to avoid crankshaft
counterweight bending timing pin.
5. Slightly move engine flywheel back and forth with
turning tool until a second JDG971 Timing Pin (C) can
be installed in slot in crankshaft. This ensures that
camshaft and crankshaft are in sync (properly timed).
If timing pin does not enter crankshaft timing slot,
crankshaft is not properly timed with camshaft.

Head gasket failures generally fall into three categories:
• Combustion seal leakage.
• Coolant seal leakage.
• Oil seal leakage.
Combustion seal leakage failures occur when combustion
gases escape between cylinder head and head gasket
combustion flange, or between combustion flange and
cylinder liner. Leaking combustion gases may vent to an
adjacent cylinder, to a coolant or oil passage, or
externally.
Coolant or oil seal failures occur when oil or coolant
escapes between cylinder head and gasket body, or
between cylinder block and gasket body. The oil or
coolant may leak to an adjacent coolant or oil passage, or
externally.
Follow these diagnostic procedures when a head gasket
joint failure occurs or is suspected:
1. Before starting or disassembling engine, conduct a
visual inspection of machine, and note any of the
following:
• Oil or coolant in head gasket seam, or on adjacent
surfaces, especially right rear corner of gasket joint.
• Displacement of gasket from normal position.
• Discoloration or soot from combustion gas leakage.
• Leaking radiator, overflow tank, or hoses.
• Leaking coolant from coolant pump weep hole.
• Damaged or incorrect radiator, fan, or shroud.
• Obstructed air flow or coolant flow.
• Worn or slipping belts.
• Damaged or incorrect pressure cap.
• Presence of oil in coolant.
• Low coolant levels or improper coolant.
• Unusually high or low oil levels.
• Oil degradation, dilution, or contamination.
• Correctly specified electronic unit injectors.
• Indications of fuel delivery or gear train not properly
timed.
• Unburned fuel or coolant in exhaust system.

2. Obtain coolant and oil samples for further analysis.
3. Start and warm up engine if it can be safely operated.
Examine all potential leakage areas again as outlined

previously. Using appropriate test and measurement
equipment, check for the following:
• White smoke, excessive raw fuel, or moisture in
exhaust system.
• Rough, irregular exhaust sound, or misfiring.
• Air bubbles, gas entrainment in radiator or overflow
tank.
• Loss of coolant from overflow.
• Excessive cooling system pressure.
• Coolant overheating.
• Low coolant flow.
• Loss of cab heating (air lock).
4. Shut engine down. Recheck crankcase, radiator, and
overflow tank for any significant differences in fluid
levels, viscosity, or appearance.
5. Compare your observations from above steps with the
appropriate diagnostic procedures in Section 04, Group
150. If diagnostic evaluations and observations provide
conclusive evidence of combustion gas, coolant, or oil
leakage from head gasket joint, the cylinder head must
be removed for inspection and repair of gasket joint
components.

Cylinder Head Gasket Inspection
A—Combustion SealsB—Gasket BodyC—Front of Engine
(Flanges)
The following inspection procedures are recommended
whenever a head gasket joint failure occurs or when
joint disassembly takes place.
1. Review historical data relating to machine
operation, maintenance and repair, along with
diagnostic observations. Note all areas requiring
further inspection and analysis.
2. Remove rocker arm cover and check for presence
of coolant in the oil.
3. Record head cap screw torques prior to removal.
Upon removal, check cap screw length differences.
4. Remove cylinder head using appropriate lifting
devices to prevent handling damage to head
gasket. (See REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD in this
group.)
RG8429 –UN–19MAY98
Examine gasket body (B) for the following:
• Combustion gas erosion paths or soot deposits
originating at combustion seals.
• Extreme discoloration/hardening/embrittlement in
localized areas.
• Oil or coolant paths from port areas.
• Localized areas of low compression.
6. Before cleaning components, inspect head, block,
and liners for evidence of combustion gas and fluid
leakage. Inspect cylinders and valve ports for
unusual deposits.
7. Clean cylinder block. (See INSPECT AND CLEAN
CYLINDER BLOCK in Group 030.) Clean cylinder
head. (See CLEAN AND INSPECT CYLINDER
HEAD in this group.) Clean liners. (See CLEAN
CYLINDER LINERS in Group 030.)
5. Observe surfaces of removed head gasket.
Examine combustion seals (A) for the following:
• Cylinder Head Cap Screws (this group)
– Inspect condition of threads.
– Check length.
9. When inspections and measurements have been
completed, determine most probable causes of joint
failure. Make all necessary repairs to joint
components, cooling system, and fuel injection
system.
10. Reassemble the engine according to procedures
and specifications in the appropriate repair groups
of this manual.
