Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is

moving. Keep hands, feet , and clothing from
power-driven parts. Disengage all power and operate
controls to relieve pressure. Lower equipment to the
ground. Stop the engine. Remove the key. Allow machine
to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be

raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix

damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground

cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems
–UN–23AUG88

Do not weld tools unless you have the proper equipment
and experience to perform the job.
LX1016749
DX,SAFE,TOOLS –19–10OCT97–1/1
Support Machine Properly
Always lower the attachment or implement to the ground

before you work on the machine. If the work requires that
the machine or attachment be lifted, provide secure
support for them. If left in a raised position, hydraulically
supported devices can settle or leak down.
–UN–23AUG88
Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles,
or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not
work under a machine that is supported solely by a jack.
Follow recommended procedures in this manual. TS229
When implements or attachments are used with a

machine, always follow safety precautions listed in the
implement or attachment operator’s manual.

• Have the right parts on hand.
• Read all instructions thoroughly; do not attempt
shortcuts.
T6642EJ
DX,CLEAN –19–04JUN90–1/1
Illuminate Work Area Safely
Illuminate your work area adequately but safely. Use a

portable safety light for working inside or under the
machine. Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage.
The hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite
spilled fuel or oil.

Safety Information
Use Proper Tools 00

9
Use tools appropriate to the work. Makeshift tools and

procedures can create safety hazards.
Use power tools only to loosen threaded parts and

fasteners.
–UN–08NOV89
For loosening and tightening hardware, use the correct
size tools. DO NOT use U.S. measurement tools on
metric fasteners. Avoid bodily injury caused by slipping
TS779
wrenches.
Use only service parts meeting John Deere specifications.
DX,REPAIR –19–17FEB99–1/1
Service Tires Safely
Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause

serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper

equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate

the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or
heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension

hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged

rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

When servicing front-wheel drive tractor with the rear

wheels supported off the ground and rotating wheels by
engine power, always support front wheels in a similar
manner. Loss of electrical power or transmission/
–UN–06AUG94
hydraulic system pressure will engage the front driving
wheels, pulling the rear wheels off the support if front
wheels are not raised. Under these conditions, front drive
wheels can engage even with switch in disengaged

position.
LX,MFWD2 –19–01MAY91–1/1
Dispose of Waste Properly
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the

environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used
with John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel,
coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
–UN–26NOV90
Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
TS1133
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can

damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations
may require a certified air conditioning service center to
recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste

amount of axial play.

7. Calculate shim thickness (x).
For example:
Dimension (a), shims required to produce play ....... 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Dimension (b), measured axial play ........................ 0.7 mm (0.028 in.)
Dimension (c), prescribed bearing preload .............. 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
Formula: x = a - b - c
x = 2.0 mm - 0.7 mm - 0.8 mm = 0.5 mm
(x = 0.079 in. - 0.028 in. - 0.031 in. = 0.02 in.)
In this example, total shim thickness required is 0.5

mm (0.02 in.).
8. Take out the king pin again and remove shims (a).
9. Install the appropriate shim thickness (x) at the upper

king pin.
10. Return knuckle housing to its original state, see

reference “Install Knuckle Housing” in this Group.

200 Positive Front Wheel Lead Check

10
Positive front wheel lead: 1.5 to 4%
NOTE: Observe correct positive front wheel lead.

Incorrect front wheel lead causes excessive wear
–UN–08FEB95
of tires and other components.
1. Check tire inflation pressures.
LX003431
2. Mark drive flange of front wheel drive axle (A) and the
flange of universal jointed shaft (B) (see arrows).
3. Secure universal jointed shaft with a rope as shown.
CAUTION: With tractor running, stay clear of

moving parts.
4. Switch on front wheel drive and drive the tractor slowly

forward in the lowest gear until the drive flange of the
front wheel drive axle has turned 25 times.
NOTE: When the drive flange has turned 25 times, the

universal jointed shaft should have turned 25.5 to
26 times, which represents a positive front wheel
lead between 2% and 4%. If positive front wheel
lead is not correct, check the tire combination
(see Operator’s Manual).
