john deere 950

Hello All, I have a JD950 with 3T90J Yamnar engine. I’m currently doing an overhaul on the engine and having issues removing the cam shaft from the block. The tech manual doesn’t really help on this, and can’t find any videos or online information. I’ve removed the governed nut and governor and...

I have a 1987 John Deere 950 with front end loader that I am looking to replace all the hydraulic hoses due to age. I have searched online quite a bit and I have not had luck finding the answers I need. Were these hoses standard lengths, and fittings that I can just order from somewhere or will...

I have read quite a bit on TBN about a fairly common problem on the 50 series Deere tractors (750, 850, 950, 1050) - and many other tractors - of a voltage drop to the solenoid/starter due to age of wiring etc. I am near sure I have this issue with my 950 and the frustrating clunk. However, I...

I'm trying to repair a stuck brake and found out lever is stuck. I removed brake cover and shoes but this thing is really stuck. I looked at a video on a yanmar but not quite the same.

I have a John Deere 950 model # CH0950S031169. the # came from the plate on the rear of tractor. Could someone tell me the year of this tractor?

does anyone have a link to a repair manual download for a JD 950 sub compact tractor?

My 1983 John Deere 950 was running fine the other day and suddenly behaved like it was out of diesel, engine slowed and then shut off. I cursed myself and then checked the level and it wasn't empty but it was low. Topped it up, tried restarting, and it wouldn't turn over. Tried trickle...

Good afternoon all! I have a JD 950 and need to replace the clutch (wasn't running when I got it and doesn't yet...). Serial #CH0950-SO-18873, and according to Tractordata.com it's from 1983. I've seen on this forum somewhere that they used a dual stage clutch beginning in 1984. Can anyone...

I have a 1987 JD 950, two stage clutch, owned it about a year, put about 30 hours on it. I am prepping a site for a garage build, moving alot of stone… lots of short drives and shifting. Anyways, I have noticed when shifting gears it will often grind slightly going into gear. It shifts into all...

I recently had a hose leak on the radiator of a Deere 950. As I looked into the radiator when it was empty I could see the build up around the radiator coils. I have to admit that I haven't flushed the coolant. The tractor is from the late 80s and I doubt it has had much done that way. I'm...

I have a 30 horse JD 950 from the late 80s. I'm noticing that this summer (after the usual winter storage) it is consuming coolant every time I run it - which is maybe 4 times.. Before brush hogging, I fill the reservoir to full, when I get back from 2-3 hours of work, the reservoir is still...

I put about 10 hours on my 1987 JD950 this weekend up at camp and noticed loading it on the trailer a small pulled of hydraulic “sludge” on the front axle below the Hydraulic pump. Was hoping for just a bad o-ring or gasket and today I popped the hood to see what it was. Turns out there is a...

So I have a JD950 front wheel assist tractor. I just picked up a JD47 backhoe attachment real cheap. It has the mounting brackets on the hoe, but I don’t know what I would need to buy or fabricate to be able to hook it up on my tractor. Can anyone help me out?

Other than that cheap Carlisle brand that rots out too soon, what other 2WD front tire and tube makes are reliable, durable and long lasting? From word-of-mouth, the Alliance 303 has an awesome following. But, for my size, it's sold-out everywhere or it's now 3X the price. I can find 6.00-14...

I have a JD950 that runs for about an hour, then quits. Loosen the bleeder screw on top of the injector pump and it fires right up an runs....for a while. Seems that as it warms up, the run time gets less, to where it'll only run a few minutes. Replaced the filter, both hoses, and clamps...

I recently came into possession of a 1979 John Deere 950 with 1,019 hours. I have no idea how long it has sat, but the battery that I took out of it had a date from 2012. We have redone a lot of the wiring as it was all corroded or chewed up from mice over the years. We put a new battery in...

I need advice on raising the front of my JD950. The manual says to hoist the front end with a chain around the the front bracket (which the counterweights hang on). So if it's ok to hoist the tractor from this bracket,would it be safe to jack the tractor up with this bracket?

I recently bought a John Deere 950 with the Yanmar 3T90J diesel in it. Serial number tells me it's from the 1979/80s. It ran when I looked at it to buy it. Got it home and its ridiculously hard to start. Cleaned fuel filter & replaced fuel & did several other things. I won't go into long detail...

Hello. I'm a tractor newbie. I picked up a John Deere 950 in the fall and have been using it to haul logs out of the woods with no issues. It came with a snowblower which I hooked up a month back or so and have been clearing out a couple snows with it since. Today something gave. I'm...

I have one of the very early John Deere 950's with a third party loader on it. I think it was built in 1979, it's two wheel drive, it has about 900 hours on it. It has some minor flaws... will overheat after a couple of hours of hard use, otherwise cosmetic issues. I only use it about 30 hours...

I have a JD950 with a rear finish mower attached. Does anyone recognize this mower and happen to know the model? I'm assuming it is a JD by the paint although it looks like an old Woods. Can't find any info on this mower. Thanks

New to the forum and have searched the internet and forums for this problem. Early JD 950, no serial number plate, possible 1978 model. It has the single stage clutch. When pto is engaged and bush hog is running pushing in the clutch or slowing down engine with clutch engaged there is grinding...

I have oil pressure coming from my pump up to the valve that distributes the oil to everything. If my pressure relief valve was stuck open, would it just push all fluid back to the transmission? I have no hydraulic function at all. I fixed my brakes, and went to move it again, and while on jack...

Hey gents, I need some advice. I just had two acres of woods cleared for food plots, two separate sites that are 1 acre each. The excavator guy did a good job of getting all the big chunks of roots and rocks out, but there are still some smaller roots sticking up and some smaller rocks, so I...

I just acquired a John Deere 950 from a friend. The tractor is in excellent shape and only has about 1,000 hours. The tractor is getting oil in the radiator but does not have water in the oil. Starts and runs perfect but I'm told it is overheating and will blow the cap off the reservoir. The...

Hi folks. I'm new to tractors (and this forum), but I've already been enjoying reading the forum for a while! After months of searching and debating, I just finally pulled the trigger and got a compact tractor - a John Deere 950 (an '86 from the serial number in the 27,000's) with a #8...

Hi Does anyone have experience moving in/out John Deere 950 tires? Is this even possible on a 4wd? Thanks Andrew

The engagement lever of the PTO is broken on the inside and I am not sure about the arm/fork. I did manage to take a picture and it seems there are some parts down in the oil pan. Will have a mechanic look at it next week. John Deere dealer said part is no longer available. Does anyone know...

I just bought a 1985 950 2wd and the only thing wrong with the tractor is the throttle. The lever will just fall back so I have string on it now so it will run. Is there like a spring that I'm missing or something. Thanks

Hi I Currently own a 1989 John Deere 950 that I just bought a 8A Backhoe setup for. I don't have any idea how this hooks up but being a mechanic im sure I can figure somethings out. One of my main stumbling blocks is the Power Beyond Hook up since Deere no longer carries it. Does anyone have...

Lost my tractor manual in a shop fire. I need help in repairing the brakes on my tractor. Not sure where to start. They just don't work, won't stop the tractor. Thanks for any info you can give me!

My 950 has a fair amount of oil coming out of the transmission shifter past the rubber boot, it seems worse when its warm and when the FEL is used a lot and also more when the tractor is going up and down hills. it seems as though pressure is forcing it out. Maybe a blocked breather somewhere...

I'm driving myself nuts, obsessing with getting as much information as possible so I don't make a huge mistake when buying my first-ever tractor. I've just retired to TN, have about 6.5 acres, half of it woods, half cleared. I'll likely - eventually - put in some sort of a crop on a couple of...

I recently traded for a 1980 JD 950. After replacing some cables and re-stabilizing the battery, I had taken it down the road to exercise the tractor. It died while turning around, but restarted. Died twice more before completely running dry of fuel. Got that fixed, but had to clear the...

Can anyone please help. I have 950 JD with 80 model FEL. I got a really good deal on a JD 8 backhoe last week, now how to plum it in? I do not have a clue how tractor hydraulic flow is directed. Does any one have pictures of how theirs is plumed. Thanks.

Hi All, I know that the safest bet is to purchase/fabricate a subframe mount for my backhoe, this currently is not in the budget... but is intended for the future(anyone have pictures of the subframe mount for jd950?). With that being said, I've never owned a tractor or backhoe... nor have I...

What can I do to always get a better starter relay connection when starting my J-D 950? My only sure way now is to jump the terminals on the starter itself. I have replaced the starter, cleaned up the ground connection to the frame, and replaced the ignition switch all to no avail. Pinefarmer

I have a john deere 950 and am looking to find what type of oil to use

So here is the picture... I know the rules of internet and picture is required so there it is ;) I rode all day and really like it. Bushogged about 3 acres of 3-4' deep meadow/overgrown lawn and it did great even though the bushog is ancient. Problem is the throttle "difts" lower as the i...

I just bought a JD950 tractor. I ordered an IT manual but it won't come in for at least a week. I was wondering where and how to check the fluid levels. I don't see a dip stick. There are several wires hanging loose and I would like to know where they go. Does the IT manual have a wiring diagram?

I am helping my son in law with his JD 950 that his dad has given him. Tractor seems to be in good shape with low hours. It just needs some TLC. None of the indicator lights work so I would like to look at a wiring diagram to see if we can fix them. Thanks in advance.
