John Deere 210C 310C 315C Backhoe Loaders Repair Technical Manual TM-1420

What's Covered in This Manual

This is the official John Deere TM-1420 Repair Technical Manual for the 210C, 310C, and 315C Backhoe Loaders, published in June 1988. This is the repair half of John Deere's two-manual system for this backhoe loader lineup - this book covers full component disassembly and reassembly, while its companion manual, TM-1419 (Operation and Test), handles diagnostics and routine testing. Together, these two manuals replaced an earlier combined publication, TM-1328.

Inside, the manual provides complete repair procedures for the engine, hydraulic system, power train, electrical system, steering, and brakes across all three backhoe loader models. Because these loaders were offered with more than one engine option during production, the manual includes repair coverage cross-referenced to the engine actually installed, along with the torque specifications, wear tolerances, and special tool requirements needed to bring a rebuild back within factory spec.

All three model numbers - 210C, 310C, and 315C - are confirmed present throughout the manual text. Whether you're rebuilding the hydraulic system, doing a full engine overhaul, or servicing the driveline on any of these three backhoe loader models, this manual provides the complete factory repair procedures a John Deere technician would use.

Pairing this Repair manual with its companion Operation and Test manual gives a shop the full picture - diagnose the fault first using the test procedures in TM-1419, then turn to this manual for the actual teardown and rebuild steps once the faulty component is identified. That two-step approach mirrors exactly how a John Deere dealership would work through a repair, and it avoids wasted labor pulling a component that wasn't actually the problem.
