    Lost Tach

    Was hogging through a bunch of saplings on a 1992 755 without side shields. Tractor runs fine, but lost tach. As tangled up in them as I was, I can not help but feel that I have pulled a wire. Any suggestions as to where to start? Thanks a bunch folks.

    755 Loss of Power

    Also posted this in the general forum...not sure where it should be. 1992 JD 755 with 820 hours. Ran perfect for five years. Performed first cutting this year, no problem. Halfway through the second cutting, started to lose power and parked it. Replaced air filters, fuel filter, recent hydro...

    JD 755 Loss of Power

    1992 JD 755 hydro with 820 hours. Ran great for the first five years. Ran as usual for my first cutting. Halfway through my second, I started to lose power. Ran another 30 minutes and then parked it. Replaced air filters, fuel filter, hydro fluid is basically new, fuel new. Brakes are not...

    JD 770 No Start/Power

    Have a 1992 JD 770. 12.8v at battery, 12.7 at starter and all fuses are good (that I found). I have checked almost all connections...and nothing. I went to start it, the pump primed and glow indicator turned off as usual and then it all died. I doubt a safety switch because I should still have...

    Man Killed Pulling a Log

    A man was killed yesterday in Henrico County here in Virginia while attempting to pull a fallen tree when the chain snapped. You do not hear of this often, but it does happen. I learned many years ago when winching folks out of the sand while surf fishing to always dampen the chain/cable with...

    755 60" MMM Adjustment

    Bought three manuals, but figured I could get by without a deck manual...wrong. The deck in full up only moves about 2" at best. Adjustment knob works fine. My question is on the attachment arms. I have seen many examples on here, but not mine. On the left side is a turnbuckle with about 1.5" of...

    How Many HST Drains???

    I got the manual for my 1996 755 2WD and there are two contradictions. It says to remove the two drain plugs underneath and then the "pipe plug" on the screen. I can only find one obvious plug on the right side (looking from back). Am I missing something? Can't I simply remove the pipe plug...

    Mowing  Newbie with a Few 755 ???s

    Just got my first diesel anything this weekend and love it! 1996 755 with a JD 60" MMM and 700 hours. Have service/tech and parts manuals, but no operators (on the way). Everything appears to work as it should, but until I get my manual, I need some advise. I went to forum page 121 last night...

    Hey folks. Just picked up a JD 755 and am looking forward to picking your brains as this is the first diesel CUT I have owned and know next to nothing about it. Should be fun!
