Wayne,
Please check our Cable Finder for more port locations. https://www.shopdiesellaptops.com/pages/cable-finder
A search through the Cable Finder found this answer:
“John Deere Bulldozers have the diagnostic port located in the storage compartment under the gauge cluster.”
Can you tell me where the diagnostics port is located on a jogn deere 550 dozer?
