dealer, or a John Deere equipment
dealer selling and servicing equipment
with an engine of the type covered by this warranty.

Service is Needed" on page 2.)
Authorized service outlets will use only new or remanufactured parts or
components furnished
or approved by John Deere.

greater than reimbursed by John Deere, the service
