Additional Notes

  • The John Deere LX279 carries a cooling system capacity of 2.6 liters across both PIN ranges, PIN 010101-060000 and PIN 060001 onward, covering the 2000-2003 production span.
  • A check interval of every 5 operating hours applies to the cooling system on both LX279 PIN configurations under normal use conditions.
  • The coolant change interval is set at 24 months for both PIN ranges, meaning the service schedule is time-based rather than tied to operating hours for the drain-and-fill service.
  • The identical capacity and interval figures across PIN 010101-060000 and PIN 060001 onward indicate no specification revision was introduced at the PIN 060001 production break for the LX279 cooling system.
