![John Deere 450G 455G 550G 555G 650G Diagnostic Technical Manual [Tractors]](https://youfixthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Manual_Download-300x300.jpg)
Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the full factory technical manual for the John Deere 5215, 5315, 5415 and 5515 utility tractors, and despite the 'Diagnostic' label it is really two books in one. You get the complete repair sections - engine removal and rebuild for the PowerTech 3029 and 4045 diesels, PowrReverser and 24/12-speed transmission overhaul, MFWD axle, hydraulics, steering, brakes and cab - plus the full Operation and Tests half with diagnostic trouble codes, symptom charts, wiring schematics and pressure/flow test specs. Engine data is right there on page 36: the 5215 runs the turbocharged 3029TAT70 at 40.5 kW (55 hp), up through the 5515's turbocharged 4045TAT70 at 59 kW (80 hp). If you wrench on these tractors, this is the book the dealer techs use.

John Deere 5215, 5315, 5415, 5515 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hydraulics slow or hitch will not lift under load
Start with the pressure and flow tests in Hydraulic System Operation and Tests to isolate pump, rockshaft or SCV. Once the weak component is identified, the Hydraulic System Repair section covers pump, rockshaft and SCV teardown and hitch component repair.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System (Operation & Tests)PowrReverser slips, shifts hard or will not engage a direction
Run the transmission pressure tests and adjustments in Power Train and Transmission Operation and Tests first - many reverser complaints are pressure or linkage, not clutch packs. If the packs are worn, the Transmission Repair section covers the full PowrReverser overhaul.
Manual Section: Power Train and Transmission (Operation & Tests)Low power, hard starting or smoke from the 3029/4045 diesel
The Fuel and Air Intake Systems Repair section covers injection pump, injector, turbocharger and air cleaner service, while Engine, Fuel and Air Operation and Tests gives you the tests and adjustments to confirm whether it is fuel delivery, air restriction or base engine wear.
Manual Section: Fuel and Air Intake Systems (Repair)Brakes weak, grabbing or pedal travel out of spec
The Steering and Brake Systems Repair section covers brake service and adjustment along with power steering repair, and the Steering and Brakes Operation and Tests section provides the system tests to verify pressure and adjustment before you button everything back up.
Manual Section: Steering and Brake Systems (Repair)Frequently Asked Questions
How do I retrieve and clear diagnostic trouble codes on a 5215/5315/5415/5515?
The Diagnostic Trouble Codes section walks you through code retrieval, the full code listing and the clearing procedure for the control units on these tractors. These are not Final Tier 4 machines with dozens of modules - the electronics are simple - but when a code sets, this section tells you what it means and what circuit to check before you start swapping parts.
Does this cover a full engine rebuild, or just diagnostics?
Full rebuild. The Engine Repair section covers removal, teardown and rebuild of both the 3-cylinder 3029 and 4-cylinder 4045 diesels, and the Engine Operation and Tests section has the test and adjustment specs to verify your work. If you are chasing low power or blowby on a 5415's naturally aspirated 4045DAT70, both halves of the job are in here.
Is the PowrReverser transmission covered?
Yes. The Transmission Repair section covers PowrReverser and 24/12-speed overhaul, clutch and shifting components, and the Power Train Operation and Tests section adds the pressure tests, adjustments and schematics you need to diagnose harsh shifts or a reverser that slips before you split the tractor.
Which exact tractors and engines does this manual apply to?
The 5215 (3029TAT70, 40.5 kW/55 hp), 5315 (3029TAT71, 48 kW/65 hp), 5415 (4045DAT70, 53 kW/72 hp, naturally aspirated) and 5515 (4045TAT70, 59 kW/80 hp, turbocharged), roughly the 2012-2017 build range. Engine identification is covered in the Safety and General Information section so you can confirm what you have before ordering parts.
Are wiring schematics included for chasing electrical problems?
Yes. The Electrical System Operation and Tests section includes wiring schematics, electrical diagnosis procedures and control unit coverage, and the Electrical Repair section handles the alternator, starter, batteries and harness repair. Between the two you can trace a dead circuit from fuse to connector instead of guessing.
