Does anyone know of inexpensive usable turf type tread tubeless truck tire in 33-12.50-15 NHS (1989 755 Deere compact utility) that I can substitute for my OEM Goodyear Turf Tires (Terra Tire Soft Trac 4 ply in that size. I bought the tractor new in 1989. It has only 1108 plus hours and has...

BTW it has about 1090 hrs and was purchased new. Not used much and kept under cover. Brakes seem to be dragging (not releasing) and putting engine load on the tractor when moving it. Also the individual L/R brake pedals and main pedal on right side of station do not have the travel distance...

My JD 755 tractor which I purchased new in Sept 1988 has 1088 hours on it. Today the transmission started to whine more than normal. Tractor moves but is reluctant, and the tractor steering became stiffer (normally no resistance), and steering wheel started to kind of chatter under load too...

My 165 Deere engine intermittently does not want to turn over. It seems possibly due to something like brake safety switch. The brake pedal needs to be depressed to start. This sounds like a stupid question but where is the brake safety switch actually located? Do any other interlocks...

2006 3720 with 300x loader and 447 BH. Anyone ever run into this and if so I'd appreciate a tip on how to unwind it or release front mount? In the process of reinstalling my FEL tonight I was able to latch and engage my front parking stand on front bracket before the rear mast and frame...

Just curious if anyone is still using a 165. I still use my 1986 165 w 38 deck and bagger that I bought new. It works great for trimming and pulling a smaller yard cart. I've even used it to cut over 5 acres when my other tractor was down. It still runs great after 30 years. Replaced the...

If you don't mind I like to run even relatively minor tractor repair jobs past others that may have had some experience, unless I've done it before, and in this case I have not. Replacing the leaking hydraulic hose seems like a straightforward deal. The leak hasn't busted out but it is...

I'd like to ask a question of the forum before I start tearing things apart. That said I have a 2006 3720 (260 hrs) with a 300X loader where the mid mount selective control valve joystick control is not operating as smoothly and with the finesse and smoothness that it once provided as a loader...

My 1989 JD 755 w 60" MMM that I've owned since new now fails to engage the mower deck when I activate the PTO. The 755 has been an amazingly trouble free machine. When I engage the PTO the engine hesitates/slows for just an instant but nothing further happens. The mower is not activated...

Where are the Montana tractors actually produced? I live fairly close to a major chocolate producer named after a town in Pa and slowly but surely they are moving their candy production to other countries and to other places. Mexico has been one of their many choices. My question is...

Another anyone else have this problem question? I've just replaced both of my the front swivel gauge wheels on my 60" mid mount mower on my 755 for the 2nd time in recent years because they both have multiple (2 or 3) flat spots on them as though they were dragged on the ground without...

I'm considering a set of Horst Pallet Forks HD2048 for my 300 loader mainly because I can get them immediately. There are other and better options if I wish to wait. The 48 inch-ers with 2K load capacity list at $725. They weigh about 300# which is less than the Frontier forks that are...

I'm attempting to remove the 447BH from my 3720 for the first time. The BH was installed by the JD dealer early this summer. I'm discovering that the rockshaft will not lift (or lower). It seems dead in the water. I've tried adjusting the flow valve that is located in the middle under the...

Thought this might be a heads-up to those who are mounting a 447 backhoe on the 3x20 mid size compacts. This from another forum ssbtractor. It is good to share these expensive mistakes. Hope this is OK. Original Post: Wayne xxxxx on Monday, April 20, 2009: Have a 3320 with a 447 backhoe...

Assuming the 447 backhoe has been installed properly with power beyond kit, etc. .....about how much time does it take to remove a 447 backhoe and reinstall the 3 point hitch on a 3x20 tractor. Any tips on this to speed up the process or make it easier? How about the reverse and...

Thanks in advance for some help with these JD 755 questions. 1. Does your coolant temperature warning light (top right on lamp cluster) on the dash come on with the other lamps when you turn the ignition key to on. Mine does not (I don't remember if it ever did) and the way I interpret the...

Does anyone have a mid mount mower (72" 7 iron) on a 3x20 with R-4 regular size tires? Does it rub the front tires on the leading (front) edge of the mower in a hard left or right turn? I have heard of problems with the oversize R4s or the wide turf tires with the rear wheels but not the...

What's a fair street price now on a new 448 or 447 (now 375 or 485) backhoe on 3x20? This is a separate purchase for an existing tractor and not as part of a package on a new tractor. The list on a 448 with power beyond is approaching $9K before tax and that's a killer.

Looking for some input. Any recommendations on using the 72 vs 60 MMM on the 3720 vs a 3PH mower? How difficult is the removal of the MMM on the 3720? It's probably something that even once a year off and on is becoming once too much, as is the 60 on my 755. Any recs on a 3 PH...

Question: Bought a Meteor 68 this year. Does yours have an exposed PTO coupling at the snowblower end such as mine? I thought the PTO outer bell normally covers the coupling, or there is a missing shield? Also are both inner and outer shaft tubes contained by a separate clip-on chain? It...

Supposedly in 08 John Deere will offer a backhoe that works with the ComfortGard Cab on 3x20 and 4x20 series. Not sure how that will work and how convenient the operation will be. Any thoughts on this?
