John Deere 540G-II, 548G-II Skidder Parts Catalog (PC2668)

You’ve got a 540G-II on the landing, front tire shredded, operator screaming about trucks stacking up. Parts guy’s asking for PIN, axle type, rim size, and you’re standing in the mud guessing. That’s how you lose a whole shift. With the PC2668 parts catalog open, you walk the machine, match the axle and wheel group exploded view, grab the exact tire, rim, valve stem, and hardware numbers in minutes. No wrong parts. No “try again tomorrow.”

Key Tasks Covered:

• Identify correct axle, hub, and wheel group by PIN and configuration.
• Pinpoint hydraulic hose assemblies with routing and fitting types.
• Match electrical harness sections, connectors, and clamps by location.
• Order correct grapple, arch, and boom pins, bushings, and shims.
• Cross-check superseded part numbers before you call the dealer.

Common Questions:

Q: “Why the hell won’t this hose number match what the dealer shows?”

A: It’s usually superseded—PC2668 shows old-to-new number cross-refs in the notes.

Q: “Are these both the same rear axles or not?”

A: No—catalog breaks them by serial break and differential type in the axle section.

Safety Note

Always verify you’re ordering the exact brake components by PIN—wrong ones can cost you more than downtime.
