John Deere 135C RTS Excavator Repair Technical Manual (TM2094)

Machine covered

This manual (TM2094, dated 18AUG15) is written for the 135C RTS excavator. It is the repair half of John Deere's two-part manual set for this machine; the companion diagnostic manual, TM2093, covers testing and troubleshooting and is published on its own.

What this manual covers

Like every John Deere technical manual, this one is organized into numbered sections and groups rather than chapters, so a tech can jump straight to the component in question instead of paging through unrelated material. Each group opens with the essential tools, parts kits and torque values needed before any wrench is turned, which keeps the repair job predictable from the start.

Good to know

This is a repair-only manual: it does not include the diagnostic routines, electrical schematics or operational checkout procedures that live in the separate 135C RTS Diagnostic manual, TM2093. For undercarriage wear checks, John Deere's own ultrasonic undercarriage gauge documentation (CTM10001) is referenced alongside it. 503 pages.
