Anyone know of site to find John Deere Manuals? I need one for a 2520 (COMPACT UTILITY TRACTOR - from around 2012) TM2288 Thanks! 

Is there an adjustment on the 84' 200trx like this video? I downloaded the manual, haven't had time to go through it yet tho.

I'm thinking the clutch maybe warn or loose which is causing the rattle, not sure yet. What would be the symptoms of a warn clutch? could the clutch plates cause a clanging metallic sound. I think its only during idle, so it makes sense that the clutch plates could rattling. I'm going to take the clutch cover off and clean that out when i change the oil...I'm betting its never been cleaned before lol

I found a Clutch video here 

Also - any other easy servicing besides changing oils and filter that i should do? Maybe new clutch rings?

If any one has some good service video links, please share. Thanks!

The choke won't stay up, have to hold it when trying to start it. Any ideas on how to make it stay in position? been using a clamp, but thats not ideal

What do you guys use to clean the engine? will brake cleaner strip the paint off?

I'll change the gear box oil as well. gotta find a video on youtube of how to do it LOL. any oil for the gearbox recommended? 

one more video, not much better tho. not sure if the rattle is from the gearbox or the pull start

The engine gets super hot as well, almost smoking (maybe just some oil on it). I was running it hard though. not sure if thats normal, haven't used it in a long time. 

The brakes were not working too. maybe just some new brake fluid needed. any special brake fluid needed?

Does this model have a replaceable oil filter? I'm going to do an oil change. will Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40 work ok? I have a bunch of that

Kind of like loose change clinking. I'll see if i can pin point where its coming from next time i go down to my cabin.

Its kind of hard to hear over the engine, but there is a definite rattle while idling, sounds like something shaking around inside it. I drove it all my life don't remember that noise

Hello - New here. I have an old TRX 200. my dad bought it new, he passed away and its mine now. It has a few issues, that maybe some of you may know how to repair. The most concerning is the rattle while its running. I have a video, if i can figure out how to post it.
