    FYI: JD 2155 Steering whirring squealing sound gone changing from Napa to JD Hygard Low Viscosity

    I replaced my 2155 tractor fluid & Filter after removing / repairing the my Rocker Shaft problem (Arms would not lower - Broken load spring and bent load link missing "C" clips). The fluid looked really good, but I was suspicious of the NAPA fluid. I bought the tractor used and replaced the...

    John Deere 2155 Rocker Shaft assy will not lower beyond half way

    Looks like the spring inside is broken or came off. There is no resistance to the load arm. I'm using as is, which is good enough for snow removal with the box blade. Once I have completed other maint projects I will service the Rockershaft assy and update. Thank you!

    John Deere 2155 Rocker Shaft assy will not lower beyond half way

    Hello. This morning I went through the adjustment procedure laid out in TM4435 (page 70-15-15+). I adjusted 17, the load control arm and then 7, the commencement of lift. At one point my arms went all the way down. I thought it was fixed with this adjustment, but nope. I tried multiple things...

    John Deere 2155 Rocker Shaft assy will not lower beyond half way

    Thank you Tx Jim. That is helpful. My drop rate screw appears to function properly, I've tried multiple tests with this, but maybe something is going on with this. I was pulling the transmission out of my 95 Dodge Cummins last night so it got to late to check the tractor. Will try today or...

    John Deere 2155 Rocker Shaft assy will not lower beyond half way

    Hi. Since buying this, I have had intermittent periods where the rock shaft arms will not lower all the way. I would play with the load arm; however after running the rotor tiller too deep the arm is now only going full height to perhaps half. I bought the manual, but reluctant to open up. It's...

    JD2155 Lift Arms Stuck up Draft Control will not go down past 2.5 notches. Ideas?

    Hello. Was Brush hogging in the woods and working it hard, Lifted the Arms and then it would not go down. I had Draft control up. The tractor was slowly becoming harder to have life arms go down. Would not go down all the way with draft arm up, when I moved down and pushed down then I could get...

    Wiring Question that affects gauges on 2155

    Hello. When my temperature sender begins to warm the resulting resistance change causes my warning lights to illuminate (low oil, hyd warn, and others). I have a black wire that is not connected near the starter in the wiring harness. I believe this needs to go to the 12V side on the starter...
