Vacuum Motor Inspection

Check vacuum motor (A) for oil leaks.

A small amount of oil leakage is acceptable but if oil leakage is excessive, or if you are unable to attain necessary vacuum, order Vacuum Motor Repair Kit AA36389 from your John Deere dealer. Installation instructions are provided with the kit. If leakage occurs on the motor housing at (A), check for loose hardware on the motor or loose fittings.

NOTE: Excessive oil leakage may cause the vacuum pump guard to become clogged. This may cause loss of vacuum.

If necessary, clean pump guard. ( See CLEANING VACUUM PUMP GUARD in this section.)

This leakage will occur inside pump housing and can be seen on the pump guard (B).
