John Deere 200LC Excavator Operation and Test Manual (TM1663)

Machine covered

This manual (TM1663, dated 21FEB05) is written for the John Deere 200LC excavator, which carries an operating weight of 20,298 kg (44,750 lb) as built with 800 mm shoes, counterweight, the 2.91 m arm and a 723 kg bucket. The engine is John Deere's PowerTech 4.5L and 6.8L diesel, covered in its own component technical manual, CTM104.

What this manual covers

This is the diagnostic half of the 200LC manual set; the companion repair manual, TM1664, covers the actual disassembly and rebuild of components. This book is for the technician who needs to find out why something isn't working before taking it apart, and it includes the machine's general specifications and working range dimensions so you aren't hunting through a parts book for a number mid-job.
