FAQ

**Which machine models are covered in the TM1780 technical archive?** keyboard_arrow_down

A: This factory-authorized technical manual provides authoritative maintenance and repair procedures for the John Deere 260 and 270 skid steer series, including Series II variants from 1999–2003. It ensures that all technical parameters for the 3.029T and 4.045D engine configurations are fully recorded across 590 pages.

**How do I perform effective diagnostics and system tests on the hydraulics?** keyboard_arrow_down

A: 21,374 ± 1,034 kPa (3,100 ± 150 psi) is the factory-set hydraulic system relief pressure that must be verified for optimal operation. The manual contains detailed troubleshooting diagrams and cycle time benchmarks to precisely diagnose the efficiency of the hydrostatic and specialized work circuits.

**Determine the necessary steps for maintaining the drive systems?** keyboard_arrow_down

A: Identify the exact charge circuit pressure benchmarks of 1,379–1,551 kPa for single-speed models or 1,928–2,208 kPa for 2-speed variants. The documentation provides expert knowledge for testing the Poclain MS series and hydrostatic relief valves (34,474 kPa) to maximize the productivity of the John Deere 260 and 270 units.

**Identify the safety precautions for repair work on the job site?** keyboard_arrow_down

A: Tool-ID "Section 1: Safety" must be consulted before beginning any maintenance measures to prevent accidents on the job site. The guide strictly mandates relieving hydraulic pressure and shutting down the engine before performing any service on system connectivity or electrical components such as the Denso starter.

**Which technical specifications are stored for engine repairs after a major rebuild?** keyboard_arrow_down

A: 100 hours is the mandatory break-in interval during which specialized break-in oil must be used to prevent cylinder glazing on rebuilt 3.029T or 4.045D engines. The document includes detailed torque values such as 140 Nm for M12 engine support bolts and idle speed settings to ensure long-term reliability for the 1999–2003 series.
