Hi, posting for my Dad. The 3pt has no lift unless rpms are up, then it's very slow. He rebuilt the piston and cleaned any debris he found. Put it back together and it worked better than is has in some time. For a day.... Now it is back to being slow. Rest of hydraulics seem fine. Ideas? E

I have a JD 955 compact tractor. I'd like to trade my agricultural bar tires and wheels for a set of used turf tires and wheels. Tire condition is not important as long as the wheels are not damaged. I will be glad to send you an email of my tractor and current set of tires. Tractor has a little...

I have a JD 955 4wd with original tires that are worn out. My question is i would like to oversize the tires and maybe wheels but i know they need to match ratios between front and back any suggestions?

Cleaned up the gear pump to remount to the tractor tonight on my basket-case project tractor. Is the gear pump suppose to be spin freely? or should have some resistance when turning the input shaft. I can turn it over by hand, but it does require a little effort.

Here is a picture of the existing SCV's on my 955. From right to left, Flow Divider, Regenerative valve, Float valve, Rockshaft cylinder head. I have the SCV's off of another tractor and was wondering... can additional SCV's be stacked onto the current configuration (either between the...

Need a hood for a JD 955 CUT. A hood from an 855 CUT or 430 GT will also work. Also need a grille for a JD 955. Grille from an 855 will also work.

I am installing a auxiliary hydraulic kit in a John Deere 955 compact tractor for a backhoe attachment. I do not have the installation instructions so I am struggling through it. I have everything installed except the PT13744 diverter plug. I do not know which hole this goes into on the...

My hubby is looking for a tractor to use for driveway cleaning in the winter and for plowing and cultivating a small garden for ourselves and possibly to sell a bit of the extras (maybe an acre or so). We have 8 acres to clear but would just use this as a utility tractor otherwise. Question---...

Ok, so I guess I should start this with the fact that I recently bought a new (to me) JD955. Everything is going great with the tractor so far...boy, a lot to learn over the Craftsman lawn tractor I've been using for years. I do have a question though. On our property, I have a very...

My 955 has a mind of its own. I pull the tractor out of the shed, run it for a couple of minutes then shut it down (to refuel or attach hydraulic implements). Then it won't start again, sometimes for a complete day. I doesn't even turn over, nothing, not a sound, no clicking. I thought it...

I am looking at buying a 1989 JD955. 270 hrs. Turf tires, spare set Ag tires for back. Wt box, good front loader bucket, backhoe with 2 buckets, sickle bar, Ford rear mount snow thrower. Owner wants $16,000.00. Is this a fair price? Unit is real clean, was stored indoors. So are all the attachments.

Yesterday I installed a power beyond kit on my 955. It consisted of the installation of a couple lines and a diversion plug. The technical bulletin said to take out the plug and install a smaller, shorter plug in its place. Once installed, it said to loc-tite the old threads. I installed the...

Hi all! I just wanted to get your opinion on a new purchase I made. I just bit on a JD955 with 72" belly mower. It's a 1998 with 540 hours on it. I'll post some pictures up of it next week when I pick it up, but it is very clean and everything works on it. It was very well taken care of. I...

After repairing all four tires on my 955 (Some of them several times) I got to thinking I might start trying to locate a source for replacements. Does anyone know of a source for these oddball Ag tires? The sizes are: Rear - 11.2-16 Front - 7-12 The originals are Goodyear Dyna Torq II

Hello Everyone, This is my first post to the forum, although I have been reading it for some time now. Here is my question: I am looking to purchase a CUT. I recently sold my 4720. It may have been more machine than I needed, but with all of the bells and whistles it had, I was worried...

I've read dozens of threads here and I know this comes up alot. Hope you don't retreading old waters. I have a JD955 sub-compact with rear turf tires, 36x13.50x15. I bought it used with FEL and snowblower, and occasionally use a brush cutter for maintaining woods trails mostly. The FEL doesn't...

Hello all, I have 3 acres of grass to cut with a moderate amount of trees, I currently have a JD 425 with 54" MMM that does the job just fine. This year I need to put new weepers around the house as well as some drainage and utility trenching with a max depth of around 5.5'. I intend to sell...

I am interested in rebuilding a deere 955 engine. It has the 3TN84-RJ Yanmer installed. I thought somebody might know if it is possible to still find parts for it? Would it be a good idea to contact yanmer directly? Thanks Robert

We think the engine is shot. Possibly a bad piston or rings. Are parts availble to do a rebuild? Might do a compression test to see. It does run but has a miss and is low on power. Are replacement engine availble or maybe a repower with kubota engine?

Any idea why turning on the headlights would cause the engine to quit on my 955? I bought it with the headlights not working and found the fuse pulled. Replaced fuse and cleaned some connections and the lights work fine as long as the motor's not running.:confused:

I came across what seems to be a good buy for a JD 955 tractor and implements (FEL, BH, mower, snowblower). I'm considering the possibility/practicality of trying to use the tractor I buy for haying (2-3 acres) in addition to the primary purpose of clearing and rehabbing a pasture that's gone to...

Just got back from an auction. Wasn't looking for a tractor but they had a JD 955 with 960 hours with 70B loader, 72 inch MMM, and soft cab. Guy got it for $9600. Seems like a good deal. Just curious if it was. Edit: It was a 1995 model

Hello all new member here. I Recently inherited a JD955 with backhoe. It's a nice tractor in pretty good shape, only has 520 hours on it. My question is with the backhoe. In a short period of time the bucket starts to drop and I say with in an hour the bucket is on the ground. I remember when...

My father-in-law is looking at purchasing a JD 955 with 1342hrs on it. It has loader, front blower, factory cab, rear blade and 72" MMM. Do you think that $18K is a good deal? I have been hesitant about this because he could go buy a Kubota B3030HSDC cab tractor with front blower and loader...

First post in the Deere community! I would like to see what the forum members think is the best replacement for JD-955? Actually a 955 would be great, but can’t find a good one. Everyone seems to want to keep theirs! I have owned several JDs and Kubota machines; I will probably go Green on my...

I have 2 tractors. One is a 1994 JD 955 with turf tires, loader, 2 buckets and 60" deck mower with 200 hours. The other is a 2000 DX29 with R4 tires, 2 rear hydraulics and front end weights and 300 hours. Both are in excellent condition. Need to sell one. Not sure which one at this time. Any...

This will be my 1st tractor. I have found a 1990 JD 955 with a 70A loader and 14xx hrs. The dealer wants 12500 and says he put a rebuit engine in because someone ran the tractor with an oil leak. He also has added new R-1 tires , new hoses, and repainted and has 14500 in tractor. Can you...

I've been searching for a low hours JD, prefereable a 4100/4110 or even a nice 755. Hydro, 60" MMM, FEL (EZ on/off). I will initially use for some brush hogging and leveling (box blade) to expand yard to 3-4 acres. After that primary use will be mowing, and a little landscaping, etc. I have...

jd 955 72\" mower u-joint chatter My 1997 955 72" mower deck has less than 60 hrs. The deck pto is chattering alot when the mower is running at the recommended pto rpm while in the lowered position. When the deck is fully raised the noise is gone. I've inspected the u-joints and they are...

I need instruction on connecting wires to my newly rebuilt starter. I did not take it off and don't want to burn it up by connecting something wrong.

I am trying to find a suitable replacement for the tires on my 955 - something a little more aggressive than turf tires. My contact at Goodyear needs to know the gear ratio for the tractor to ensure proper rolling circumference between front and back wheels. I looked in my owner's manual but...

I just purchased a JD 955 and need a few seals and motor mounts. I priced the parts/labor with my local JD dealer but was wondering if there are aftermarket parts that I can look for like possibly on the internet or if someone knows of places here in the Northwest. Is there any concerns I...

I am currently looking at a 1992 JD 955 with FEl, Backhoe, and rear snow thrower. It has 635hrs. What would be a fair price for this machine? Thanks

I am goint to look at 2 used tractors the 955 and 970. The ads say they are both 33HP, excellent condition, etc. Iam looking for opinions on both models. A neighbor swears by his 955 but I notice that the 970 is about 3k cheaper. I have also been looking at Kubota. I am borrowing a Kubota...

I raised the mower and turned the depth control fully clockwise to lock it in the raised position. That worked OK but now i can't get it back down. Any ideas out there? thanks. Bill

Could someone give me the procedure to remove the model 70 loader off of my 955? The guy we bought it from quickly showed us before we loaded it on the trailer but I soon forgot. I know you must pull the two levers at the top on either side but it gets a little fuzzy after that . My...

I'm in the process of purchasing a CUt and have a choice between a JD used 955 with less than 500 hours and a new TC33 that I can get a decent deal on. I'm hardly an expert on this and I'd like to solicit advice from those of you who know more about this than I. I'll be using the machine on a...

I'm look into buying a ~30 HP tractor, to be used primarily for rough mowing (brush hog) 3 acres of level field in my back yard. I have a 5.28 acre residential lot with about 1 acre of grass near the house, 1 acre of wooded wetlands behind the grassy area, and 3 acres of former cornfield in the...

Hi I am currently shopping for a tractor and have come across a used JD 955. Being a tractor newbie, I'm trying to figure out whether buying a larger used tractor makes better sense than buying a smaller new tractor. I plan to use the tractor to haul horse manure, plow my driveway in the...

Ok, I finally got all the hoses & fittings that I needed to hook up the hydraulic logsplitter that I borrowed from my neighbor to my JD 955. I don't have rear remotes so I traced the two lines that come from the curl cylinder. I hooked the in from logsplitter to the quick connect that went to...

Can anyone give me the specs for a JD 955 4WD? Engine & PTO HP and some idea about the likely approx age? Is this model a good tractor by most accounts and some idea about what would be a fair price - unit has 1455 hours. Would this tractor be suitable for an FEL? Thanks, William

Photo is of newly purchased 1995 JD 955 4x4. Box blade is a 5' Howse. First day out on the job. Paul

I'm looking at a 1995 JD 955 MFD with a 70 loader on it, hydro. Dealer is asking $12,750. Hobbs shows 111.1 hours, seems to be in very good condition, other than torn seat cover. I visited the dealer on Sunday, could not talk to dealer or hear run. I'll fill in more once dealer is open...

I have a JD955 tractor including a 59" snowblower. I recently purchased a used JD front blade, 380. Unfortunately I don't have the manual for blade, yet. Does anyone out there have a 380 attached to their 55 series tractor? I'd like to know whether the frame for the snowblower and the extensive...

For all those on this board who helped me enter the tractor world, thanks! I'm easing in slowly by buying a used JD955 tractor. I'd like to find a good rotary cutter for it. The tractor's got a 27 hp rear PTO rating and a lifting capacity of 1175 lbs. The brochure says the largest cutter it...

The JD955 seems to have a manual crank adjustment (on top of the operator deck) for lifting or lowering a midmount mower. Does this system work well or is it a hassle if much adjustment is necessary? Is it more typical for tractors these days to have hydraulic lift for belly mount mowers? I...
