John Deere 644H, 644H MH Common Problems This Manual Covers
John Deere 644H loader settles from raised position with engine running, bucket drifts down under load
Check the circuit relief valves in the loader control valve before condemning cylinders. Cap the lift cylinder lines at the valve to isolate the leak path; if drift stops, repack the cylinders. If the valve section leaks, install a repair kit and torque the tie bolt nuts to 102 N•m (75 lb-ft) per page 456.
Manual Section: Loader p. 456Slow or jerky boom and bucket movement in cold weather, response improves after warm-up
Verify hydraulic oil level in the reservoir; the system holds 117 L (31 gal), noted on page 163. Warm the machine at low idle and cycle all functions before loading. If sluggish response continues after the oil warms, isolate each cylinder and watch for rod drift under load to find internal leakage.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Oil Clean-Up Procedure p. 163Loader lacks lift capacity and hydraulic pump whines under load, boom stalls with rated bucket
Test lift circuit relief pressure before pulling the pump; a stuck relief mimics a worn pump. Inspect the lift check for scoring, replace it if damaged, and torque the lift check hex head cap to 169 N•m (125 lb-ft) from page 456. If pressure still lags, remove the pump and inspect the rotating group and valve plate.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Pump Disassembly and Assembly p. 456Ride control not smoothing boom bounce during roading, front end pitches over rough ground
Test the accumulator nitrogen precharge after bleeding off the hydraulic charge. Recharge to 2068 ± 138 kPa (300 ± 20 psi), listed on page 459. If the accumulator will not hold precharge, replace the gas valve and piston seals during disassembly before condemning the ride control valve or plumbing.
Manual Section: Ride Control Accumulator Disassembly and Assembly p. 459Bucket rattles and slops at the bellcrank, pins and bushings knock during digging
Measure clearance between the bellcrank and bucket cylinder at full curl; anything past the 3 mm (0.12 in.) maximum shown on page 450 means worn pins and bushings. Remove the pins, inspect the bores for egging, and press in new bushings. Grease every loader pivot after assembly and recheck the clearance.
Manual Section: Loader p. 450Frequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for John Deere 644H wheel cooler bolts?
The manual provides torque specifications for "Cooler-to-Bottom Plate" and "Cooler-to-Grill Cap Screw" in the Cooling System section. The Cooler-to-Bottom Plate torque is 73 N•m (54 lb-ft), and the Cooler-to-Grill Cap Screw torque is 73 N•m (54 lb-ft). p. 289
What are the torque specs for John Deere 644H transmission mount bolts?
The torque specification for the Transmission Isolator Cap Screw is 433 N•m (320 lb-ft). For the Transmission Mounting Bracket-to-Transmission Cap Screw, it is 433 N•m (320 lb-ft) for the front and 318 N•m (235 lb-ft) for the rear. p. 167
What is the recommended replacement interval for the complete seat belt assembly on the John Deere 644H?
The complete seat belt assembly should be replaced after three years of usage, regardless of its appearance, to ensure safety. This is a critical safety measure for ROPS equipped machines. p. 17
What is the torque specification for the wheel retainer cap screws on the John Deere 644H?
The wheel retainer cap screws should be tightened to a torque of 620 N•m (460 lb-ft) when installing the wheel. This specification is for dry screws. p. 33
What is the approximate weight of the front axle and differential assembly for the John Deere 644H?
The approximate weight of the front axle and differential assembly is 885 kg (1950 lb). It is crucial to use a lifting device for heavy components during removal and installation. p. 41
