Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the factory technical manual John Deere dealers used on the 5200, 5300, 5400 and 5500 tractors built from 1992 to 1998. It covers both jobs a shop actually does: full component repair (engine, transmission, clutch, differential, final drives, MFWD, hydraulics, steering, brakes, 3-point hitch, cab and air conditioning) and the operation, tests and adjustments sections you need before you tear anything apart - injection pump timing, fuel bleed procedure, hydraulic pressure tests, wiring schematics and operational checkouts. Real numbers, not guesswork: 33 L/min minimum pump flow on the 5200/5300/5400, 60 L/min on the 5500, main relief at 190-197 bar, thermostat opening at 82 C. If you keep one of these tractors working, this is the book.
