sERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP
Identify Your John Deere® Engine
Discover the serial number of your John Deere ® engine with this user-friendly guide.
John Deere® engines find application in a wide range of industries, including construction, marine, agriculture, forestry, as well as in air compressors, generator sets, irrigation pumps, and on-highway applications for natural gas. In this article we focus on the engines used for agricultural machinery.
John Deere® Engine Data Plate Location.
If you are looking for replacement parts for your John Deere® engine, you’ll need to have a few numbers on hand to help ensure you get the right parts for your machine. Because each engine manufacturer has a unique way of numbering their engines, make sure you know where to find the information for your model. The data plate is either located on the side of the block; the side tends to vary depending on the engine model. Or, can be found situated on or near the valve cover of your engine. The valve cover is situated at the top of the engine. Gathering as much detailed information as possible about your engine ensures a higher level of confidence when selecting the correct parts for your needs.what’s the Difference Between the PIN and the ESN?
Tractors are categorised and identified by their year and model numbers, featuring serial numbers. Modern John Deere® tractors typically have 13-17 alphanumeric digits, while those manufactured before the 1970s bear a 5-6 digit serial number.
With the John Deere VIN/PIN number, you can ascertain details such as the manufacturing year, production facility, installed transmission and engine specifications, emission levels, and other tractor specifications. The engine serial number (ESN) is different to the machine serial number and is particularly valuable for streamlining the search for John Deere® engine parts.
How To Read Your John Deere® ESN
Every character within the ESN represents a specific attribute, indicating either the tractor’s size, engine power or configuration.
The plate contains essential information, including the Serial Number, Number of Cylinders, Engine Displacement in Litres or Cubic Inches, Fuel Intake (e.g. Naturally Aspirated, Turbocharged, or Turbo Aftercooled), and the factory of manufacture. Additionally, there is another plate listing Engine Option Codes, each represented by a four-digit number. The initial two digits identify a specific group or engine area, while the remaining two digits specify the particular option and its application.

PowerTech™ Engine identification
In 1996, John Deere® introduced a new series of engines known as PowerTech™ to adhere to Tier 1 standards. Subsequently, the company has consistently employed a building-block approach to satisfy evolving regulatory Tiers, progressively incorporating technologies into the PowerTech™ platform.When ordering replacement parts, it is beneficial to determine whether your engine is a PowerTech™ or not. Despite sharing similar model designations with the Series 300, these engines require distinct parts. While there might be a sticker on the valve cover indicating if it’s a PowerTech™, it could have been dislodged during operation. Instead, examine the model number located beneath the serial number on the engine serial number plate. If the model number concludes with 150, 151, 180, 220, 250, 275, or a higher value, it indicates a PowerTech™ engine.
300 Series or PowerTech™?
