Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the John Deere electrical diagnostics service manual (TM4487ELEC) for the early 6100, 6200, 6300 and 6400 tractors, covering machines up to approximately serial number 101000 with the Saran-built 3029, 4039, 4045, 6059 and 6068 engines. Its 149 pages are written for an experienced technician working the electrical system.
The manual is built around functional schematics and wiring harness diagrams: system diagrams for the complete tractor, plus engine, cowl, transmission and cab roof harness drawings with component locations and instrument unit plug arrangements. The sub-system diagnostics group provides step-by-step tests for the starting motor and charging circuit, instrument unit and lighting, exterior lights, blower and air conditioning, and the electronic rockshaft control.
Use it to trace no-start, charging, lighting, gauge, HVAC and rockshaft faults by circuit, with fuse ratings and pin assignments called out.
