Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the John Deere TM1679 Technical Manual for the 4500, 4600, and 4700 Compact Utility Tractors, the same 722 page service manual John Deere wrote for its own technicians. It covers tractors built across the serial ranges listed for each model, from the 4500 through the 4700.Inside you get the full repair picture: the 4TNE84 and 4TNE88 diesel engines, the gear, hydrostatic, and PowrReverser power trains, final drives and PTO, plus electrical (North American and European sections), steering, brakes, and hydraulics. Every system is grouped together with specifications, component locations, theory of operation, troubleshooting charts, diagnostics, tests and adjustments, and step by step repair.With torque values, fluid capacities, and pressure settings taken straight from Deere, you can diagnose a fault, set clearances, and rebuild a component yourself instead of guessing or paying shop rates. It is delivered as a downloadable PDF you can read on screen or print.

John Deere 4500, 4600, 4700 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Sputtering, stalling, or fuel starvation
Owners report the tractor sputters, dies, or acts fuel-starved until the fuel filter is replaced. Restricted fuel, contaminated fuel, or air in the system starves the diesel engine, and the manual walks through diagnosis and repair.
Manual Section: Section 3 - DIESEL ENGINE p. 27Overheating after grille cleaning
Coolant temperature climbs into the red or overheating persists even after cleaning the grille. The engine section covers cooling-system tests and adjustments so you can check the thermostat, radiator cap, and system pressure before it becomes serious damage.
Manual Section: Section 3 - DIESEL ENGINE p. 27Loss of drive or poor hydrostatic response
Hydrostatic tractors can lose motion, respond poorly, or fail to move under load. The manual's troubleshooting, diagnostics, and tests point to low transmission oil, a hydraulic supply issue, or a control fault.
Manual Section: Section 6 - Hydrostatic Power Train p. 381Safety interlock or PTO switch faults
Safety interlock tests fail when a seat, brake/neutral, or PTO switch acts up in the electrical circuit. The electrical section covers testing and adjusting these safety-start circuits so the tractor cranks and the PTO engages correctly.
Manual Section: Section 4 - ELECTRICAL p. 103Steering fluid leaks and hard steering
Steering that leaks or feels heavy usually traces to a hydraulic component in the steering circuit. The steering section provides component locations, a troubleshooting chart, diagnosis, and repair procedures.
Manual Section: Section 9 - STEERING p. 587Weak or dragging brakes
Brakes that feel soft, drag, or pull uneven need adjustment or repair. The brakes section gives specifications, theory of operation, a troubleshooting chart, and step by step repair to restore stopping performance.
Manual Section: Section 10 - BRAKES p. 603Frequently Asked Questions
