Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the John Deere factory diagnostics manual (TM4726) for the 6020, 6120, 6220, 6320, 6420, 6420S, 6520, 6620, 6820, 6920 and 6920S tractors. Across 1,496 pages it covers every electronic control unit, all diagnostic trouble codes, observable symptom trees and step-by-step system diagnostics for the engine, electrical system, all four transmission types (SyncroPlus, Power Reverser, AutoPowr/IVT and PowrQuad), drive systems, steering, hydraulics and the operator cab. It is the same reference John Deere dealer technicians use alongside Service Advisor, giving you the voltage specs, resistance values and symptom trees to trace a fault to its root cause.
