Just bought a used 155C with 190 hours on it. Looking for the following manuals: 1) Operator- OMGX21821 2) Parts- PL9538 3) Technical Manual- TM2328 It has a ticking sound from one the pulleys on the transmission belt. Plan to replace belts and such, but wonder if pulley is shot as well

Any help? Tractor starts, push clutch, wont go into gear. Clutch pedal does feel weak. Has clutch pedal adjustment. Ideas?

98 John Deere 1070. approx 900 hours. What kind of interval should I be changing the hydraulic fluid? I want to change the filter for sure, but as the transmission and hydraulic is one system, I wonder if it's time to change the fluid.

My tractor goes into gear very slow and I think a clutch adjustment is in order. Any one have the tech repair manual who would like to share this secction on? I have ordered a I&T manual, but still waiting. Any input?

Ok starting a new project that has to be done a in operation before winter really hits. I am looking to build a well to service a barn of three horses using the concrete well tile rings. I have plenty of water on my property so I know it will take water. I need all the information I can get from...

For the last couple of years I plow about 750 foot up hill gravel driveway with backblade and FEL. I have been seroiusly thinking about a rear mounted PTO snowblower. Any one use them on gravel drive. Any input?? Suggestions?

OK did a real stupid thing this weekend to the "Big Green Sexy"!! A friend and I have been taking some big pines old pines down that were leaning over the house. We tied them off to the tractor with a good solid logging rope. All went well until we took down one and it was pretty rotted, before...

I was getting the big green sexy (98 JD 1070 600 +/- hours) ready for this next blast of snow last and noticed I was a bit low on antifreeze. Not much, but low. I did notice a couple of weeks ago a wiff of antifreeze. Head gasket issue maybe? It doesn't overheat at all.

I noticed a spark on the right side (sitting on the seat) of my tractor when I started her last. I had a friend start it so I could actually see where the spark was. It came from a rusted bolt, maybe the ground for the battery, on the right side. The bolt actually got red! I tried to start her...

Gentlemen, Looking at the idea of installing (using my tractor!!!) an outdoor wood furnace to my existing forced hot air system, as well as my existing electric water heater. I have a list of manufacturers, but thought I would get some input using all the experience here before calling. All...

I was doing some well needed brush hoging last week, and was wondering if anyone thought of putting wheels on the front side of the hog to help from scalping. When I hog I am constantly looking back adjusting the 3ph to keep level cut as my land is all over the place. Dont the finish mowers have...

A friend has recently told me it is best to leave your tractor with FEL up a bit as well as 3PH while tractor is resting. I always tend to set them in down position relieving the hydro pressure. Comments?

I had to make a few changes to my grapple. I bent up the bucket pretty good. I took a 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1/2" angle and welded it along the entire bottom side of the bucket. The arm connection at the bucket braket bent a bit as well. I tried ti get away with only (2) large bolts on the end. I...

Love this new add to the forum. Helps me with the spelling of hydraulic. hehehe Any hoot, I was just looking through and I was thinking. I have the rear remotes which I use mostly for my back hoe, and I am getting started on an old customization thread to build a grapple. I'm just wondering the...
