Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
Running a CTS or CTS Rice combine puts you in range of TM1543, John Deere's 585-page Repair, Operation and Test manual written for the tine separator machines. This John Deere CTS repair, operation and test PDF carries wiring diagrams through the electrical diagnostics section, the longest in the book, where warning display panel, low shaft speed monitor, HarvesTrak, Combine Data Center, and Contour Master tilt circuits each get their own test routine and code list. Gearbox work runs deep too: tine separator module removal, crank-out system service, and gear backlash adjustment are laid out to the reassembly spec. Torque the bolt through the front of the feederhouse to 610 N·m (450 lb-ft), the tilt frame hardware to 315 N·m (230 lb-ft), and the cleaning fan drive sheave set screws to 48 N·m (35 lb-ft). Nobody is around at midnight to ask. Bookmarked and text-searchable, it gets the combine threshing again.
