Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the factory repair manual for John Deere 6415 and 6615 tractors, the book dealer techs use when a component comes out of the machine. It covers full removal, teardown and rebuild of the PowerTech 4.5L (6415) and 6.8L (6615) diesels, both SyncroPlus and PowrQuad transmissions, the MFWD front axle, differential and final drives, power steering, brakes, and the hydraulic system including the gear pump, rockshaft, SCVs and three-point hitch. You get torque values, specifications, fuel and lubricant charts, electrical repair for the alternator, starter and wiring, cab and HVAC service, plus drawings for dealer-fabricated special tools. Every procedure is step-by-step with the specs printed where you need them, not buried in an appendix.
