Ok guys. Thank you. Yes I just got this and it's my first diesel also. Any tips would be appreciated. How about the fuel pump along side
Is that getting weak so at start it's starving for fuel?
If this is your first diesel, a word of advice....don't let it run out of fuel. They are hard to get started again and it's a messy process. I don't have any first hand experience, but I've gotten it from reliable sources.
I think the 755's used the Model 70A loader. JD doesn't make those loaders anymore, so if you want a used one, it will be like looking for a "black hole" in the nighttime sky. Your best bet will be to look at the aftermarket brands such as Bush Hog and Westendorf. There are a couple others, but the names escape me at the moment. Another thing to consider is whether you have power steering. Without PS, the steering may become hard to turn with a bucket full of material. Good luck.
