Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
Fits the John Deere 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264 and 2266 combines from serial number 067766, European version, both standard and Hillmaster machines. The 2254 runs the John Deere 6068 engine and the other four run the 6081. Technical manual TM4594 puts both halves in one file: repair sections 05 to 140 and operation and tests sections 210 to 340.
The electrical system is covered twice, split at serial number 068568/068569, so check your type plate before you chase a wire. You get functional schematics, harness diagrams, hydraulic circuit diagrams, Infotrak and ContourMaster error codes, and hydrostatic pressure tests.

John Deere 2254–2266 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Infotrak monitor shows error code 101E
The manual reads 101E as a defective engine operating hours counter inside the Infotrak monitor itself. The fix it gives is to replace the Infotrak monitor. Find the code in the Infotrak error code tables in the Separator, Header and Infotrak electrical section for your serial range, to 068568 or from 068569.
Manual Section: Infotrak Monitor - Error Codes p. 746ContourMaster calibration stops with error E01
E01 means feeder house calibration has to be done before header calibration. The system will not take the header calibration until the feeder house is set. Run feeder house calibration in mode No. 30, then repeat the header calibration. The ContourMaster section lists calibration failures for both serial ranges.
Manual Section: ContourMaster System - Calibration Error Codes p. 1227ContourMaster error E63 during valve calibration
E63 means the raise valve deadband is greater than 1200 mA. Start by recalibrating the valve, following the ContourMaster calibration procedure for your serial range. If E63 comes back after the recalibration, the manual says to replace the valve. The valve command tests in the same section help you confirm the fault before you order the part.
Manual Section: ContourMaster System - Calibration Error Codes p. 1229Air conditioning gives inadequate cooling
The air conditioning troubleshooting chart in the Operator's Cab and Optional Equipment section lists a severely contaminated condenser as one cause. Clean the condenser first, then check the cooling again before you work on the R134a side of the system.
Manual Section: Operator's Cab - Operational Tests and Troubleshooting p. 1360Frequently Asked Questions
Which John Deere combines does technical manual TM4594 cover?
It covers the John Deere 2254, 2256, 2258, 2264 and 2266 from serial number 067766, standard and Hillmaster machines, European version. The electrical system is covered twice, once to serial number 068568 and once from serial number 068569. p. 1
How much engine oil do these combines take with filters?
The 2254 with the 6068 engine takes 19 L (5 U.S. gal) with filters. The 2256, 2258, 2264 and 2266 with the 6081 engine take 30 L (7.9 U.S. gal). p. 552
What is the fuel tank capacity of these John Deere combines?
The 2254, 2256 and 2258 carry 450 L (119 U.S. gal). The 2264 holds the same 450 L (119 U.S. gal) on standard and Hillmaster machines. The 2266 standard and Hillmaster both carry 550 L (145.3 U.S. gal). p. 535
Is the 2266 grain tank the same size on standard and Hillmaster machines?
No. The 2266 standard holds 7500 L (212 bu) and the 2266 Hillmaster holds 7000 L (198 bu). p. 539
Does the manual include wiring diagrams, hydraulic schematics and fault codes?
Yes. The electrical sections have functional schematics such as FUNCTIONAL SCHEMATIC, SECTIONS 1, 2, 3A AND 3B, plus wiring and harness diagrams. Both sets are there, to serial number 068568 and from serial number 068569. The hydraulic sections have the hydrostatic drive circuit diagram and circuit diagrams for basic and Hillmaster functions. Error code tables cover the Infotrak monitor, such as 101E, and ContourMaster, such as E63. p. 598
