Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
Pulling the engine gear case to reach the separator drive wet clutch is the job most owners hand to the dealer. TM4697 covers the gear case removal and installation and the clutch itself. It also gives the engine-to-gear case cap screw torque of 340 N·m (250 lb-ft).
The same book covers the hydrostatic system, cam lobe motors, transmission and final drives. It continues through the feeder house and reverser, threshing cylinder, straw walkers, cleaning shoe, grain tank augers and the R134a air conditioning. It applies to the 9540, 9560, 9580, 9640, 9660 and 9680 WTS and CWS combines, European Version.
Every dry day the combine sits in the shed is crop still standing in the field. Print the group you need and take it to the bench. Greasy pages are fine if the machine is threshing again.
