Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the factory John Deere Repair Technical Manual for the 744E wheel loader, 1993 to 1999 E-Series machines with the 10.1 L engine rated 230 SAE net hp (171 kW). It is organized the way Deere organized the machine: Section 00 General Information through 17 Frame/Chassis plus the loader groups, covering the powershift transmission and torque converter, axles and input drive shafts, secondary steering, wiring harness and charging system, operator enclosure, and the full loader hydraulic circuit including the control valve and lift cylinders. You get removal and installation procedures, torque values, and the specs that settle arguments: 14430 kg (31,813 lb) lift at ground level, 330 L fuel tank, 55 L cooling system, 3400 mm wheelbase. Note this is a scanned manual, so plan to work by section code rather than expecting perfect text search.
