Looking for a 3TNV88 for a John Deere 4400? We hold this engine in mechanical and in common rail, new surplus and rebuilt, and we build the core to match the compact utility tractor it is going into. Send the data plate and we will confirm which one you need.
The John Deere 4400 is a compact utility tractor in the 4000 TEN series, widely sold across the United States for small-acreage, property maintenance and loader work. Its factory engine code is 3TNE88-EJTS - the Yanmar 88 mm-bore 3-cylinder. The 3TNV88 is the current-production successor to the 3TNE88 and is the standard replacement core for this tractor.

Around 36 hp at 3000 rpm at full speed, less in machines governed lower. Dry weight approximately 341 lb (154 kg). Rotation counterclockwise viewed from the flywheel end. Engine as fitted to this machine: 3TNE88-EJTS. Production years: 1998-2002. Rated output in this machine: approximately approx. 35 hp.
WHAT WE FIT TO YOUR MACHINE.
On a compact tractor the engine bolts to the transmission housing and drives the PTO. The bellhousing, flywheel, PTO drive, oil pan and front pulley all have to match your tractor - these are external components and they carry over from the engine you are removing.
MECHANICAL OR COMMON RAIL - THIS IS THE ONE THING YOU MUST MATCH.
The Yanmar 3TNV88 comes in two fuel systems and they are not interchangeable. MECHANICAL INJECTION uses a mechanical pump and governor, with no ECU or sensors - this is what most machines in the field run, and it is our standard stock. ELECTRONIC COMMON RAIL (HPCR) is ECU-controlled, fitted to machines built to the later emissions standards. We carry both, in new surplus and rebuilt.
The suffix on your data plate - codes like -BKMS, -BPTB2, -QTB - does not mean a different engine. The core is the same across the family: same block, same crank, same 88 x 90 mm bore and stroke, same 1.642 L. The suffix tells you the fuel system and the accessory package. The accessories are external and swap; the fuel system is what has to match.
Two other variants to know about: the 3TNV88F has an ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR with EGR and is a different engine again, and the 3TNV88-GGE is a fixed-speed GENERATOR engine, not a machine engine. There is also a 4-CYLINDER 4TNV88 that is not the same as this three-cylinder engine at all.

BEFORE YOU ORDER.
Send the data plate off your John Deere 4400 - model number, suffix, serial. We will confirm whether you need mechanical or common rail, check the cylinder count, tell you what bolts across from the engine you are removing, and quote you on the correct core. New surplus and rebuilt both available.
