Remember me, still new to the JD arena. I have the lawn tractor 455. I have lost lifting capability on the mowing deck. The lever moves fine, but the deck doesn't move. Any ideas? I can hear the hydraulic pump actuate in both directions. Could I have a leak? Would the oil level affect that?

I just got this 455 lawn tractor and the deck os leaning to one side and down in front. How can I level this out? Not to mention the deck only comes up 1"-2" with the level. Total travel up and down is 1"-2".

I am looking for both headlights and taillights for my 455 lawn tractor. This local salesman says he can't get them, but one about 110 miles away says he can. Any ideas where I can go or why one says yes, and the other says no? I live in the Houston area?

I just replaced my starter. The old one was completely burned up. I didn;t know why, other than the sprocket staying engaged with the flywheel. Put the new one on and immediately new that was the problem. What would cause the starter to stay on after the engine is started and you let go of...

Last night I drained the oil for the 455 by the book. I put 3 quarts back in as the manual states. But afterwards, I put the old oil from my oil bucket into a empty 1 gallon oil jug, it overflowed by about 1/2 a quart. That's almost 5 quarts of oil. The book specifically states to put in 3...

I had my starter go out on a '93 455. Went to price one out today. After I got up off the floor she told me again that is was $330. Is that normal. Mt truck and Van starters are only $129, my boat was only $219.

Was running as test out. After about 3 minutes, it started to smell as if burning (rubbing) metal. Then started to smoke around the starter area. I killed it as soon as I saw the smoke. Checked the oil before running an it was ok level. There is evidence of the started being convinced to...

Okay since I am new to all this I have a cost/value question. I have a 455 and want to add the PTO and 3-pt I found both from the same person. He is asking $900, new 3-pt and used PTO plus shipping. I don't like buying things like a PTO used with out tesating it out in person, but what do you...

I was working up at my church the other day, and the maintenance supervisor offer to give me the previous tractor, a JD 455 with 60" deck. Not sure of anything else, yet. Plan to pick it up this weekend. Any advice, complaints, opinions. I was told it runs great for about 2 hours and then...
