It is the factory repair volume, 906 pages of the exact remove, inspect, assemble, and torque procedures John Deere wrote for its own service technicians, covering both the 55 Series (Version A) and 60 Series (Version B) machines for the North American and European markets.The manual is organized by system: engine service, fuel and air, electrical repair, the Quad-Range and Power Shift power trains, differential and final drive, steering and brakes, hydraulics, and the operator station. Torque charts, clearances, and specifications open each group.With it you can pull and reinstall the front axle, rebuild a transmission clutch pack, service the hydraulic pump, or trace an electrical fault, working to the correct values instead of guessing. Delivered as an instant PDF download you can read on any device or print.

John Deere 4555–4960 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Slipping gears or loss of drive
Owners report the Power Shift transmission slipping, dropping drive, or failing to move under load, often from internal clutch wear or control issues. Early 15-speed Power Shift units were known for problems that later service actions addressed. The Power Shift transmission section gives the remove, disassemble, inspect, and reassemble procedures with clutch specs.
Manual Section: Power Train Power Shift Transmission p. 349Weak lift or no hydraulic response
A tired hydraulic pump, sticking valve, or contaminated fluid shows up as slow implement lift, erratic function, or no response at all. The Hydraulics section walks through pump repair and system pressure checks so you can confirm standby pressure before condemning parts.
Manual Section: Hydraulics p. 711Hard starting or rough running
Hard starts, rough idle, and power loss on these tractors usually trace back to the fuel and air side: air in the fuel, injection nozzle wear, or a restricted intake. The Fuel And Air section covers the air intake system and injection nozzle service.
Manual Section: Fuel And Air p. 141Electrical faults and no-start
Intermittent gauges, dead lighting, and starting circuit failures often come down to grounds, switches, relays, or a damaged harness. The Electrical Repair section covers connector repair and battery removal and installation to help isolate the fault.
Manual Section: Electrical Repair p. 149Heavy or delayed steering
Steering that feels heavy, delayed, or inconsistent points to power steering wear, low fluid, or a metering pump or steering valve problem. The Steering And Brakes section covers removal and installation of the steering column, metering pump, steering valve, and motor.
Manual Section: Steering And Brakes p. 629Differential noise or drivetrain wear
Whine, backlash, or play in the final drive means the differential needs inspection and preload adjustment. The Differential And Final Drive section provides the exploded views, wear specs, and the differential preload and backlash adjustment procedures.
Manual Section: Differential And Final Drive p. 587Frequently Asked Questions
Which tractors does this manual cover?
It covers the John Deere 4555, 4755, 4955, 4560, 4760, and 4960 tractors, all using the 6076 engine. It is the TM1460 repair manual and covers both Version A (55 Series) and Version B (60 Series) machines for North America, plus the European-market 4755 and 4955.
What torque values does it include?
The General Information section opens with machine specifications and torque charts in both metric and English units, plus predelivery service values such as the rear wheel-to-rim torque of 600 Nm (445 lb-ft). Individual sections repeat the torque specs for the parts they cover. p. 21
What is the hydraulic pump standby pressure?
The Hydraulics section lists the main hydraulic pump standby (deadhead) pressure as 17 200 to 17 800 kPa (172 to 178 bar, 2495 to 2580 psi). The same section covers hydraulic pump repair and the pump-to-support torque of 116 Nm (85 lb-ft). p. 711
