Mine will do that as well. There should be a hole in the top of the tractor side of the swing point where you can drop a pin in place to lock it there. Just don't forget to take it out again, those swing cylinders can generate a surprising amount of force.

I've owned a 755 for about 15 years now, 1993 vintage. Solid machine, Deere has always had the parts I've needed in the past, but as stated above, it's an old platform and things will start getting scarce and expensive. My mower deck is showing it's age, it's getting pretty soft in a lot of...

My Dk40SE has plastic tanks. A few years ago I let my wife do some brush hogging unsupervised, got an alder up in the fan and wiped out every blade on the fan. I pulled out the entire cooling pack so I could have a rad shop check things over. It's bit of a process to pull everything out...

I bought an Espar coolant heater 20+ years ago for a Mercedes car I had with a diesel engine. I would park at the train station and set the timer so that it would start 30 minutes before I arrived, one of the greatest investment I made. Fast forward, I scrapped the car, but kept the heater, it...

To close out this long saga for anyone else who may find this in the future and are trying to solve a similar issue, here's where I ended up. I ended up splitting the tractor again, pulling out the reverser unit and pretty much replaced every seal inside of it and checked over everything else...

My 72" Kioti blower is 1/4", I run grade 5 bolts, anything less and you're constantly changing out the bolt when you grab a piece of ice wrong. Never had an issue, the grade 5 will break if you pull anything too substantial.

I can't comment on the specifics of what you maybe into with this repair, but I have a 410A with a bad reverser which has some similarities to the 301A and the vast majority of the minor fasteners are 9/16 with the odd ones being 7/16 or 1/2. For the big fasteners you'll be looking at 7/8...

Looks like Cat builds a purpose build track loader for slag work. https://www.pon-cat.com/en-no/arkivet/archives/track-loaders/cat-973k-track-loader-steel-mill-configuration Includes high temp seals for the undercarriage.

I have a front mount on my DK40 and it has never given me any trouble in the 10 years I've owned it. The up side of paying the premium for a front mount is that it's a lot easier to operate, especially if you have a long driveway to clear. The downside is that you can't use the loader while...

If you go on Google and search for "Bundy Bears Shed Deere steering" you'll find a couple videos where goes through pretty much everything about these systems.

Looks like there is a kit from Deere that will allow for fitment: https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/81181/referrer/navigation/pgId/64030189...

I had to split my 755 a couple years ago and while I was in there I replaced the cooler lines. I would never say it's impossible to do the job without splitting the tractor, but it's going to be a fight and you'll probably end up tearing the machine most of the way down. It's been a couple...

I'll put money on a defective relay. Mine was intermittent, messed around chasing grounds, but in the end, a new relay fixed it. There are two different version and I'm not sure if they interchange. Pull your dash and get the number off it before you order one. Jason

I went through the process of figuring out the parts list to make this happen once and in my digging I believe I found that the turbine inlet was either a T03 or a T04 port. It's been a couple years, but I'm pretty confident that's what it was. The biggest thing that I came up with during my...

The linkage between the pedals and the hydro unit on my tractor was bent due to a stick going someplace it shouldn't have. In the process of restoring the range of travel, I messed around with the limiters and in my experience, the limiter set just shy of the maximum stroke, so I don't think...
