Do It Yourself Repairs

Premier Equipment and John Deere are united in efforts to provide John Deere equipment owners with all information needed to safely and responsibly operate, maintain and repair their equipment.

Since the very beginning, John Deere has partnered with equipment owners to maximize working ‘uptime’ by ensuring that parts, technical manuals, parts schematics and other resources have been available so that they can complete repairs on their equipment if they choose to do so themselves. John Deere has one of the most extensive parts networks in the industry, and a long history (over 185 years) of providing customers with the resources needed to keep their equipment up and running.

As your local John Deere dealer, Premier is ready to meet all your repair and support needs through our traditional parts and service offering, but also providing access to additional technical resources to enable do-it-yourself repairs. Please see information below on various resources available.
