My brother replaced the radiator cap on his 755 (he said the old one "looked funny" :confused: ) with an OEM cap. Since then, he says he's getting anti-freeze out the overflow when he runs the engine at higher RPM's. Whaddya' think - head gasket? TIA.

WOW!! :eek: That thing does NOT mess around!! ;) And, a larger processor...

Wow - I posted your question over at BITOG, and none of those guys had an answer on the mfr, either. It must REALLY be a big secret!! :eek:

Got this at another forum - a guy was welding some parts that had been cleaned with brake cleaner, it produced phosgene gas!!! :eek:

My brother picked up a "47" blower over the weekend, and installed it on his 755. When he tried it out, it only throws snow about 1 foot!! Comparing it with the 47 on the another 755 we have, he noticed there is about 1/2" clearance between the impeller blades and the cylinder the impeller...

So the fuel guy was by today, and I figured I'd have him top off my 55 gal barrel, since it looks like winter's just getting revved up. I have one of those hand crank barrel transfer pumps similar to this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=45743 except it ISN'T...

A buddy of mine stopped by the other day to look at buying a chainsaw. He purchased some property and wants to clear out some trees, mostly mountain hardwoods (cherry/oak/maple/beech) that have fallen, been knocked over by the last guy who timbered the property, and/or are standing. He has an...

I've been sitting around, acting pretty smug, thinking I knew just about all there was about oil filters for the Yanmar engines in my various small John-Deere equipment (3 cyl engines, 20 - 33 HP), and some Kubota's that a few guys owned. It seemed pretty simple, since they all take pretty much...

Brother #1 needs a front mount blower for his 755. Brother #2 found one through this forum a couple years ago, and I thought we had a line on one for Brother #1's through this earlier thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-owning-operating/132412-front-snowblower-jd755.html but...

I'm looking for a gel-cell battery for my 955. Dimensions of the existing J-D "Strongbox": 5-1/8" wide 8-3/4" long 8" high 12 volt Top Post Any idea where to find such an animal?

My brother, again (I keep telling him he should register his own self here!!) is considering either a DR or Cyclone lawn vac, and was wondering if anyone here had anything good/bad to say about either. Thanks.

Yesterday, I found RTS 5-40 at Sam's for $27.72 for the 3-1 gallon container packs. This is the CI-4+ version. It had been selling for ~$43/pack of 3 gallons. They're closing it out, according to the manager. I don't know if they're preparing for the new CJ-4 stuff, which I'm starting to see at...

Brother just picked up a cherry little 22 HP BX23 with loader and backhoe; 82 hrs on it. He was wondering if Rotella "T" 5W-40 would be okay. Being a J-D green guy, I'm not sure about questions related to orange :D but I'm sure it'll work fine. According to the WIX site it looks like the...

My nephew has some Stewart-Warner/Hobbs lights on his quad (they were replacements for the OEM's that met their demise as a result of another nephew's ummm.. bad judgement :rolleyes:). Anyway, the lights are a wide angle flood, which do a great job of illuminating about 30-40 feet out, but...
