Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing the lug nuts in the front wheels of my John Deere 855 to loosen up? I did the 500 hour service about 4 years ago, about 1 year before the problem started. When I changed the transaxle oil I was not aware of the breather plug on top of each...

I have a 1998 John Deere 855. It is leaking hydraulic oil profusely from somewhere on the transmission. I am a big guy and I currently have the backhoe on my tractor which is why I am making this post. I would prefer to not have to take the backhoe off until I'm done using it or until I know...

I was using the middle buster to dig trenches for bulbs and I was wondering if anybody knows what I should use to fill the trenches in. I have a backhoe, york rake, and a box scraper.
