    Cold weather starting issues on my 755

    My 1987 755 needed a battery charge after sitting out overnight during a cold snap. I used the trickle battery charger, and also fired up the Salamander, aimed into engine compartment, to warm things up, SOP for me after a really cold wintry night. It then started, engine running fine, but I...

    manual for grooming mower offered

    Earlier in the year the 60 inch belly mount mower for my 755 died. I was looking into a heavily used JD 261 grooming mower (using 3 pt. hitch and rear PTO), and ordered a new manual for it from JD tech support, for $25. I finally decided against buying a mower for my long in the tooth 755...

The tractor has sat outside, salt marsh...

I am thinking about getting a basic JD mower as an auxiliary around the...

    choice of rear finish mower

    I am thinking about replacing the 27 year old 60" JD mid-mount mower on my 755 with a rear mount finish mower. The two dealers closest to me offer two choices, one is no longer a Land Pride dealer and offers a Kodiak 5' finish mower for around $1800. At the other, a Land Pride FDR1660 5' mower...
