John Deere tech manual on cd from ebay

Newtogreen · Jan 12, 2011

I was looking for a service manual for my 4115 and found one on ebay for 29.95. Sounds like a good price. Has anyone tried them.

Sounds like a bootleg copy to me...

Could be.. Ask if it's OEM. Look for pics.

That's on the low side for the Technical Repair manual but it's a little high for the Operator's Manual.

Very, very few are actual OEM. Most of them absolutely guarantee they are and show pictures of real ones. They are not. Sometimes their fine print says they have so many "real" CD's they can't take pictures of all of them and yours may just be a different model. Some have stories about how they search flea markets and other places for them. Right now I see your 4115 for $29.95, and another 4115 for $16.99. I have checked some of the Ebay CD's and found most to be crude attempts at labeling pirate copies. About the only way to get a used real OEM one is find somebody who kept their CD after selling their tractor. The absolute, but very rare, best way is to find a John Deere dealer who is selling spare disks on Ebay. They usually include several models. Having said all that, the pirate ones will typically have the JD service information on them and you may be happy with that.

I would bite the bullet and get one from JD.

Along with being illegal, pirated ones hurt JD.

I don't understand. Are you talking JD or JCB?

I have managed to find JD service manuals as PDF on the Internet, usually from a dealer of some kind, and when I do, I waste no time, making a copy.

The FIRST thing you should do, is call a real dealer and find out what they charge for it, as a benchmark.
