Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the complete John Deere factory repair manual for the 6020 to 6620 tractor series, including 6020 SE through 6420 SE variants. Across 1,948 pages it documents engine removal and rebuild for both the 4.5-liter PowerTech 4-cylinder (6020 to 6320) and the 6.8-liter PowerTech 6-cylinder (6420 to 6620), four transmission families, the full hydraulic system with axial piston and gear pumps, steering and brakes, and the complete electrical system with wiring diagrams and torque specifications. It is the same information a John Deere dealer technician works from, with torque values, capacities and test pressures called out so a repair is done to spec the first time.
