Deere’s power train enhancements provide better reliability

Jul 24, 2003

John Deere’s six C-Series II graders have significant power train enhancements for longer life and improved reliability. The improved front axle offers a tighter turning radius and reduced tire wear. The graders also feature an improved fan-drive system with an easy-to-service 14-rib poly-vee fan belt and a lube-for-life driveshaft. Optional bronze wear inserts for the blade circle and draft frame reduce maintenance and keep the circle tighter.
