tractor salvage

[diyDave]

There's a guy in Shippensburg, PA who specializes in compact tractors, I don't have his name handy, But he advertises in the lancaster farming newspaper, and you might be able to find that on line. He was very reasonable when I needed some lift arms to fit a grey market Kubota.

They sure don't look as good as I thought they ought to, since I have had them stored for 15 years, and they were made in 1986. They were run with air only in them.

Deere says your 755 gets 12 x 5 (AM102094) or 12 x 7 (AM102095) and a 6 x 12 R1 tire or a 7 x 12 tire for 4WD. they say you want a 23 x 8.50 - 12 in R4 if you are considering them.

in the rear, you need an AM102099 16 x 6 used with a 7.2-16 or 8.3-16 R1 tire. An AM102098 (16 x 8) or AM119728 (16.5 x 9.75) on 12 x 16.5 R4 tires.

The 4WD issues are to keep the tires from scrubbing during extended use on hard pavement. You guys might also want to debe the R1 & R4 directionality, since loader work usually benefits from having traction in the direction you need it most. (I dig out the swamp a lot and therefore I need the traction in reverse, not forwards). Therefore I have the 'preferred' direction reversed. I got this from the owners manual, so its not just my wild and scary imagination.

zzvyb6,
I don't suppose you have the bolt pattern size in your bag of tricks, do you?

Here is a card from the folks where I located the oil tube for my Ford 1300. They have several different brands listed, no website, but they may be able to help. They are half way between Commerce and Ladonia in Texas.

Guess I will go put the rims back in storage for another 15 years.

I know it's been a while since you posted this thread and you may not check it but I thought I'd try. I'm trying to find old, beat up tire rims from tractors to use as fire rings at our youth camp. We need a minimum of 8 rims. Do you still have yours, and what size are they? Do you know of anyone who may be able to help me?
Thank You,
