John Deere Publishing has been delivering curriculum since
1968 and has printed over a million manuals over the years.
Our books are intended with the primary audience being our own
employees; however, we design them with the technical student
in mind.
Our titles range from farm business management to machinery
operation and service. Each subject is explained in a step-by-step
“building block” method that starts with simple concepts and
builds into complex systems. Important points are illustrated to
help students quickly grasp the principles. Most major designs
and systems are covered, but no brands or models are mentioned.
You can use our books even if another manufacturer has donated
its equipment to your school.
Our textbooks will help students to think and analyze, enabling
them to become better technicians or machine operators of large
or small equipment. Our Student Guides will help your students
develop their understanding more easily, and our Instructor
Guides and Art Catalogs will help instructors prepare for class
and laboratory activities with clear learning objectives and
teaching strategies.
Series Information
Subjects are broken down into ve series:
1) Agricultural Primer Series: Covers the fundamentals of
an agricultural subject using simple, direct language to break
complex concepts into simple ideas. The book deals with
subjects that change rapidly and contain technology that is
constantly evolving.
2) Farm Business Management Series: Examines the key to
survival of the farm and ranch: good business management.
These books examine “real world” problems and offer practical
solutions. They furnish information enabling the student to make
the best decision — in marketing; equipment selection; risk
management; cost reduction; nancing; and tillage, planting, and
harvesting methods.
3) Fundamentals of Service Series: These books concentrate on
mechanical technology, bringing together technical information
and supporting instructional aids that will help you become
more procient in understanding, repairing, and maintaining
agricultural equipment. Many external companies (such as
Federal Express, California Department of Transportation, Hertz
Equipment Rental, Proctor & Gamble, Ingersol-Rand, etc.) use
this series to conduct their in-house service training.
4) Fundamentals of Machine Operation Series: Shows
much more than how to safely operate equipment. Students
learn machine capacities and adjustments, eld efciency,
how to improve machine performance, and how to eliminate
unnecessary eld operation.
5) Fundamentals of Compact Equipment Service Series:
Provides comprehensive instruction in servicing and maintaining
equipment having up to 40-PTO horsepower, including lawn
mowers, garden machinery, and snowblowers.

The Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists is an overview of site-specic farming and
its many varied systems and applications. This book discusses the following in detail: types
of positioning systems, from land-based to global positioning systems to geostationary
satellite systems; yield monitoring systems; mapping, soil sampling, and soil testing; and new
technologies, such as remote sensing, variable rate technology, and geographic information
systems.
The Precision Farming Guide for Agriculturists also closely studies important considerations that
every agriculturist needs to examine, beginning with whether site-specic farming is for you. It
then explores system development and integration, economic considerations, and environmental
considerations.

Developed with the cooperation of the National FFA Farm Business Management Contest
Committee, this book remains the denitive text on managing a farm or ranch on sound business
principles.
An important key to the survival of the farm and ranch is good business management. The new
breed of farmers and ranchers that are emerging must know how to apply management principles
to their operation in order to make the most prot. They must be able to compete and win in
a highly volatile worldwide commodity marketplace. Being able to do so requires extensive
knowledge of all aspects of the business.
Until the rst edition of this book, a serious gap existed in the quest for this knowledge. In
response, Deere & Company developed Farm and Ranch Business Management. This was, and
is, a basic book that is the rst word on the subject. It was written by the experts as a practical
guide for the agribusiness manager. It explains in plain English the principles and techniques that
every farmer and rancher must know.

You can’t afford even one accident! Careful planning can help avoid tragic — and costly —
accidents. Why do you need this book? The answer is simple: agriculture is a hazardous industry.
Farming and ranching can be uniquely rewarding occupations, but if you don’t follow safe work
practices they can be dangerous. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), there were
an estimated 1,200 agricultural work-related deaths and 140,000 disabling work-related injuries
in the United States in 1992. But you already knew farming and ranching are lled with danger.
What you may not know so well is what you can do about it. This book will tell you. We will tell
and show you 21 ways to avoid the No. 1 fatal farm accident — and that’s just for starters. We
show you very practical ways to avoid pinch points; wrapping, shearing, crushing, and pull-in
hazards; thrown objects and freewheeling parts; electrical and stored energy; and much, much
more.
Farm and Ranch Safety Management is the denitive reference work in rural safety. This 394-
page book is lled with EPA, OSHA, and other regulatory agency standards, and suggested ways
to meet or exceed those standards. Topics covered in simple, straightforward language include
safe machine operation, handling toxic chemicals, hazardous waste disposal, and developing an
overall safety management plan.

The ability to manage machinery is an important skill that must be mastered by farmers and
ranchers who want to compete in our complex worldwide commodity marketplace. With the
basic information in this book, you can build a solid foundation of knowledge that can be
used to make the most efcient machinery management decisions and help keep your business
competitive.
There is no substitute for personally solving a machinery management problem. You should not
rely on the “short cut” methods of others when you make decisions that affect your business.
The data and formulas in this text are based on the latest information available to improve the
accuracy of your machinery management decisions.
The book is divided into three sections. The rst section covers how to become more efcient by
matching machines and power units to different situations. The second section gives information
that can be used to estimate and analyze costs so better machinery management choices can be
made. The nal section gives several examples of the application of information contained in the
rst two sections to illustrate the value of making decisions on a sound, economical basis.
Throughout this book, emphasis is placed on solving practical problems with either a computer
or hand calculator. Whether you use a computer or a hand calculator, you will be pleasantly
surprised at the wide variety of management decisions that you can make once you master these
example problems.

This book is, as you might have guessed, about fasteners, those simple devices that are used every
day in the home or workshop to fasten things together. Fasteners explores bolts, screws, nuts,
pins, washers, keys, studs, snap rings, rivets, adhesives, and many, many others.
A lot has been written about fasteners, but it is scattered in many publications and is often written
in technical engineering terms. One purpose of this book is to consolidate, in one publication, all
the basic information on fasteners, written simply so it will be easily understood.
We’ve attempted to limit the information to those features of fasteners that will be of most interest
and use to our readers — a description of each fastener, its purpose, its special uses, and how it is
designated and measured.
Fasteners also includes instructions for removing and installing certain fasteners, if special
techniques are necessary. The meaning of special fastener terms and symbols, often technical and
not always understood, are also explained.
Because the proper tightening of many bolts, nuts, and cap screws has become critical in modern
machines, we have included an entire chapter to discuss tension and torque.

Nearly two thousand terms and their denitions, with the proper abbreviation and an illustrated
symbol where appropriate! Terms from the elds of Accounting, Agricultural Law, Agronomy,
Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Electricity, Finance, Hydraulics, Management, Marketing,
Mechanics, Physics, Refrigeration, and many others.
Deere & Company has been involved in vocational-technical and vocational-agricultural
education for more than a quarter of a century. We recognize how limited most dictionaries
are in their treatment of technical terms, especially those terms from agriculture and its many
vocations. Deere & Company knows how important clear communication is and how dependent
good communication is upon exact word meaning. So we have been making a concerted effort to
provide our readers with easy access to denitions of terms used in our publications.
From this effort has evolved the idea of one book containing all the technical terms, and their
denitions, which are so integral to agricultural vocations and the operation and maintenance of
off-the-road machinery (whether in the eld, at the construction site, or in the yard).
Deere’s staff could nd no such publication in print. This book is an attempt to ll the void.

Hoses, Tubing, and Connectors is the denitive “how-to” book when it comes to this subject —
from showing you how to diagnose problems and test for failed parts, to explaining how to repair
the part, to showing how to install the repaired or new part. And when we say “show you,” we
mean just that! Our book is lled with illustrations to clearly demonstrate what must be done —
photographs, drawings, pictorial diagrams, troubleshooting charts, and diagnostic charts.
This book discusses conductors — paths to direct the ow of uids and gases. Hoses, pipes,
tubing, and connectors are the vital link between components within machine systems.
Instructions are written in simple language so that they can be easily understood. Starting with
basic design of each type of conductor, the book moves through how to select each type, to how to
install each kind, to how to test for failures, and ends with how to repair and maintain the different
types. This book can be used by anyone, from a novice to an experienced mechanic.
Hoses, Tubing, and Connectors can easily help a reader to better understand hoses, pipes, tubing,
and connectors. By starting with the basics, it builds your knowledge step by step in a very
structured manner.

Hydraulic Systems Diagnostics is the denitive “how-to” book on diagnosing and testing the
hydraulic systems of off-road vehicles, trucks, buses, and automobiles — from showing you all the
different types of hydraulic systems and their various components and why each works as it does,
to showing you how to diagnose problems and test components. And when we say “show you,” we
mean just that! Our book is lled with illustrations to clearly demonstrate what must be done —
photographs, drawings, pictorial diagrams, troubleshooting charts, and diagnostic charts.
But even more important than showing you what must be done and how to do it, we explain why.
Most other “how to” books provide little, if any, guidance on why a hydraulic malfunction may
have occurred, or what can be done to reduce the chances of the same problem recurring.
The purpose of Hydraulic Systems Diagnostics is to help you become better informed on the
“why” of hydraulic system malfunctions. Included are details on the interactions of system
components in the real world of vehicle operation and how these interactions can differ from the
widely held perceptions of how systems and components interact.
Instructions are written in simple language so that they can be easily understood. This book can be

Shop Tools is, as you might have guessed, about tools in the workshop — those simple and
not-so-simple devices that are used every day in the home or shop to accomplish a job of work.
The book explores screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, wrenches, chisels, punches, les, hacksaws,
vises, clamps, and many, many others — two dozen families of tools in all. Our emphasis here is
on metalworking, but much of what you will learn from our book can apply to working with any
kind of material.
A lot has been written about tools, but it is often scattered in many publications. One purpose of

Why do you need this book? The answer is simple: combine harvesting is not simple anymore.
You may have learned how to “run” a combine at quite a young age, but the machines
themselves keep getting more and more complex, so even operating them is no longer simple.
With all of the on-board monitors, computers, and now even satellite guidance systems,
operating a modern combine is downright complicated! And it’s not just the many controls,
although they make the cab of today’s combines look like the cockpit of a jumbo jet airliner.
It’s mastering the many tasks of eld operation and skillful adjustments to the machine’s
components.
Without this mastery and skill, you end up with grain losses on the ground, unthreshed kernels
on the straw, cob, or in the pod, straw chewed up excessively, or grain lost from the straw
walkers or shoe. Also, excessive tailings in the tailings elevator, cracked grain on the grain tank,
chaff or trash in the grain tank, and your farm’s prot losses (because of marketing penalties for
low-quality grain) are the results of harvesting damage or crop condition.
But proper operation is just part of the solution. If you do not know your combine’s production
capacity, when to combine, how to determine grain losses and overcome them, or how to
troubleshoot eld problems, then you need to learn. This book will teach you in easy steps.
You’ll also learn how to make necessary machine adjustments, and how to maintain each
component at peak operating performance.
This book shows you — with many illustrations — how to operate, maintain, and improve
the efciency of your combine. The harvesting capacity charts and machine loss charts in the
back of this book and the troubleshooting charts throughout it are worth the purchase price in
themselves.

Hay and Forage Harvesting is devoted to hay and forage harvesting equipment. It touches only
lightly on the how and why of feeding and nutrition and the selection and growing of hay and
forage crops.
Good hay and forage management requires a complete understanding of the many machines that
handle cereal and legume crops from cutting to storage. It also requires that you preserve as much
of the nutritional value in the crop as possible, with the lowest investment of labor and money.
The fundamental knowledge you get from this book can help you select specic management
targets, then hit the bull’s eye with top efciency.
Knowledge learned and then applied is the basis of good management. Your accomplishments
show up in gratifying nancial rewards and personal satisfaction.
Safety, planning, and preparations are stressed throughout this book. It’s a drumming background
that makes you so conscious of the fundamentals of safety that practicing them becomes
automatic.
This book is for today’s problems and methods. Changes are coming in measurements, in the
crops grown, and in livestock feeding; even more changes are coming in machinery that you will
use in the future, but the “fundamentals” will always be the same.

Preventive Maintenance is the denitive “how-to” book on proper procedures to reduce failures,
save on operating costs, and keep your equipment safe. It is designed to give you a better
understanding of the importance of keeping your equipment in tiptop condition and is full of tips
about performing maintenance jobs on farm machines.
Do you know the leading cause of premature failure in agricultural machines today? Putting
things off until tomorrow! Putting it off becomes a bad habit that leads to machine breakdown or
high operating costs. You can make preventive maintenance a good habit.
Believe it or not, the money it costs to perform preventive maintenance will be repaid many
times over. The few dollars you spend on this book will put hundreds of dollars back into your
wallet because of downtime you avoided with these tips.
This book covers the whole range of agricultural equipment. The chapters cover engine intake
and exhaust system lubricating, cooling and electrical systems, power trains, hydraulics, and
other components such as cab air conditioning and accessories. The book covers maintenance
on both old and new equipment. Signicant coverage is provided for both diesel and gasoline
engine types.
By following and performing the steps in this book, you will reduce failures, save on operating
costs, and keep your equipment safe to run.

Tillage has been dened as those mechanical, soil-stirring actions carried on for the purpose
of nurturing crops. The goal of proper tillage is to provide a suitable environment for seed
germination, root growth, weed control, soil-erosion control, and moisture control — avoiding
moisture excesses and reducing stress of moisture shortages.
The greatest change in tillage systems has been a signicant shift to conservation farming. This
shift has occurred in response to concerns for reducing energy costs, soil erosion, fertilizer and
pesticide use, water pollution, and operating costs generally.
Using this book will not only bring you into compliance, but also put money in your pocket by
saving you one of your most valuable assets — soil.

Why do you need this book? The answer is simple: operating a tractor (not just driving it) is
not simple anymore. You probably learned how to drive a tractor at quite a young age. But the
machines themselves keep getting more and more complex, so even operating them is no longer
simple.
With all of the on-board computers, monitors, and now even satellite guidance systems,
operating a modern tractor is downright complicated! And it’s not just the many controls,
although they make the cab of today’s tractors look like the cockpit of a jumbo jet airliner. It’s
mastering the many tasks of eld operation and skillful adjustments to the components, along
with adjustments to implements.
But proper operation is just part of the solution. If you are not familiar with the new “fat cheeks”
lower-than-low tire ination, how to get the greatest performance from your tractor, how to
correctly balance the tractor to prevent excessive wheel slippage or power hop, or how to attach
and remove all the new implements, — then you need to learn.
This book shows you — with many illustrations — how to operate, maintain, and improve your
tractor’s performance. The power hop prevention story and the troubleshooting charts are worth
the purchase price alone.
