Engine Overhaul

Engine life and performance will vary depending on operating conditions and the level of regular engine maintenance. Engines can be brought back to original performance standards through proper overhaul procedures and replacement of parts with genuine John Deere service parts. Overhauling the engine prior to failure can avoid costly repairs and downtime. Consider installing a John Deere overhaul kit when:

·        The engine begins to experience power loss and there are no known engine component failures.

·        The engine is hard to start due to low cranking compression.

·        The engine begins to smoke and there are no known engine component failures.

·        The engine begins to use oil.  Refer to the Technical Manual for acceptable oil consumption.

·        The engine has high usage hours and the owner wants to take preventive measures to avoid high-cost repairs and costly downtime.

John Deere overhaul kits have a 1,500-hour or 12-month warranty, whichever comes first. Installation labor is covered by warranty if an authorized John Deere dealer installed the overhaul kit and the replacement parts.

Engine Replacement-Remanufactured Engine

An alternative to engine overhaul is replacing the engine with a John Deere Reman engine. These engines have been remanufactured to original equipment specifications, using genuine John Deere parts. Consider installing a John Deere Reman engine when:

·        The engine begins to experience power loss.

·        The engine is hard to start due to low cranking compression.

·        The engine begins to smoke and use excessive amounts of oil. Refer to the Technical Manual for acceptable oil consumption.

·        The engine has major component failure.

·        Repair is needed on a major component and engine replacement is more cost effective than an overhaul.

·        Repair time is critical and engine replacement is quicker than an engine overhaul.

·        The engine has high usage hours and the owner wants to take preventive measures to avoid high-cost repairs and costly downtime.

Most John Deere Reman engines are available in "Basic" and "Complete" configurations.  The "Complete" configuration includes an air system, fuel system, and engine damper.

All John Deere Reman engines are performance tested before shipment, and include a 12-month, unlimited-hour warranty. Labor is covered by the warranty if a John Deere dealer installed the engine.
