The John Deere 245GLC is a hydraulic excavator of the G series, which John Deere offers for earthmoving and utility work. Isuzu supplies the drive: four cylinders with 5,201.3 cm³ displacement. Machine maker and engine maker are different companies here, which matters when searching for spare parts.
The width is 3,190 mm. That is the figure by which loading onto the low-loader and work near roads are judged. The electrical system runs at 24 V with two batteries. The stated gradeability of 70 % describes driving on a slope; when digging on a slope, stability and boom position come into play.
Isuzu service documents are the right starting point for maintenance and engine parts, while hydraulics, undercarriage and attachments run on Deere numbers. To name the machine unambiguously, give the model 245GLC, the Isuzu engine and the displacement.
John Deere mini excavators – other models: the G series from the 17G to the 380GLC, the number as the weight class, engines from Yanmar, John Deere and Isuzu, 1,720 to 8,143 kg unladen weight
This page gathers the John Deere mini excavators the register could not assign to a named range: the G series, from the compact 17G to the large crawler excavator 380GLC. On these excavators the number in the designation traditionally states the approximate weight class in tenths of a tonne, so the 17G weighs around 1.7 tonnes and the 85G around 8.5 tonnes, while the larger three-digit models such as the 245GLC or 380GLC reach the 24- to 38-tonne class. John Deere builds its excavators partly in plants in Germany and the United States and sources engines partly from the outside makers Yanmar and Isuzu, partly from its own production.

The register lists here 19 versions with 991.4 to 9,001.4 cm³ displacement from three- to six-cylinder engines by Yanmar, John Deere, Isuzu and John Deere Power Tech, unladen weights from 1,720 to 8,143 kg and widths from 980 to 4,460 mm.
The G series covers practically the entire spectrum from mini to large excavators: the small models for landscaping and confined sites, the large ones for earthworks, demolition and pipeline work, where John Deere competes with Volvo, Caterpillar and Komatsu for major construction firms.
On used examples, operating hours and the condition of the engine and hydraulic pumps, undercarriage wear, track tension or tyre condition, bucket teeth and attachments, and the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders all matter; spare parts run through John Deere dealers, and for the outsourced engines additionally through Yanmar and Isuzu service.
