Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
TM110119 is the factory repair manual for the John Deere 7200R, 7215R, 7230R, 7260R and 7280R row-crop tractors, roughly 2011 to 2016. This is the book with the actual wrench work: removal and installation of the PowerTech 6.8L and 9.0L engines, torque-turn cap-screw specs (main caps on the 6.8L run 30 N·m plus a 90 degree turn), AutoQuad/CommandQuad and AutoPowr/IVT transmission service, 1100/1300 series and suspended MFWD axles, hydrostatic steering, wet brakes, the load-sensing hydraulic system with SCVs and rockshaft, plus CommandCenter cab and A/C service. Every section gives you the procedure, the spec and the special tools, so you are not guessing torque values on a tractor that costs more than your shop.

John Deere 7200R-7280R Common Problems This Manual Covers
Power loss and premature engine wear from unfiltered air getting past cracked intake hoses or a badly seated air filter housing
The Fuel and Cooling Systems section covers air intake and turbo service: inspecting hoses and clamps, seating the filter housing properly, and checking the charge-air path so dust stops eating your cylinder walls.
Manual Section: Fuel and Cooling SystemsCharging or starting trouble: alternator output dropping from belt slippage, or hard starting from corroded high-resistance points in the starter circuit
The Electrical section walks charging and starting circuit service, connector repair and voltage-drop style checks so you find the corroded connection or slipping belt instead of throwing an alternator at a wiring problem.
Manual Section: ElectricalCAN bus communication faults taking out CommandCenter functions or control units, usually from shorts, opens or corrosion in the harness
The Electrical section covers CAN bus wiring, connectors and control units, including proper connector repair so you fix the corroded pin correctly. For tracing specific fault codes, pair it with the separate Diagnosis and Tests manual.
Manual Section: ElectricalMetal particles or a burnt smell in the engine oil pointing at internal wear or a failing bearing
The Engine section gives full removal and installation for the 6.8L and 9.0L PowerTech, with inspection specs and the torque-turn values like 30 N·m plus 90 degrees on the 6.8L main caps, so a rebuild goes back together to spec.
Manual Section: EngineFrequently Asked Questions
Does this manual include diagnostic trouble codes and wiring schematics?
No, and that matters before you buy. TM110119 is the Repair manual: component removal, installation, specifications, tests and adjustments. The DTC charts and full wiring/functional schematics live in the separate Diagnosis and Tests manual for these same tractors. If your CommandCenter is throwing codes and you want to trace them, you need the Diagnosis book. If you already know what is broken and need to pull it apart correctly, this is the one.
Which engines does it cover? My 7280R has the big block.
Both. The 7200R, 7215R and 7230R run the PowerTech 6.8L six-cylinder turbo diesel, and the 7260R and 7280R run the 9.0L six. The manual covers removal and installation for both, including the torque-turn specs Deere uses on these engines, for example 30 N·m plus a 90 degree turn on the 6.8L main cap screws. You cannot guess torque-turn values, so having the book matters if you are going into the bottom end.
Does it cover the IVT transmission or just the powershift?
Both transmission families have their own sections: AutoQuad/CommandQuad powershift and the AutoPowr/IVT continuously variable. IVT work is where owners get nervous, and rightly so, because it is a hydro-mechanical unit that punishes sloppy reassembly. The manual walks the disassembly, inspection specs and reassembly. Fair warning: some IVT internal work also calls for special tooling, which the procedures list up front so you know before you crack the case.
Is this a PDF I can use in the shop, and can I print pages?
Yes, it is a searchable PDF. Search is the real win on a book this size: type the component name and jump straight to the procedure instead of flipping an index. Print the pages you need, get them greasy, throw them away, print again. Keep the file on a tablet or shop laptop and you have the whole tractor with you at the machine instead of walking back to the office.
My tractor is a 2014 7215R. How do I know this manual matches my serial number?
TM110119 covers the 7R models built in the 2011 to 2016 window, before Deere reworked the line. Check your serial plate on the frame: if you have a 7200R, 7215R, 7230R, 7260R or 7280R from those years, this is your book. Later 7R models (7210R, 7250R, 7270R, 7290R, 7310R) use different manuals, so match the model number exactly, not just the 7R badge.
