john deere x475

Hey all I am new here and just acquired a JD x 475. It is in pretty good shape but when given full throttle is shuts down a few seconds later. I checked the fuel pump pressure going into the carb and it is correct. Wondering if anyone here has experience that could help me out. The previous...

When I raise or lower the deck on my x475 and hit the top or bottom, the pump whines. Same thing happens when I turn the wheel and hit the end stops. And in the past the steering wheel used to keep turning even after tge wheels hit the end stop, but the whining just started recently. I have a...

Good morning. I have a Deere x475 with a fuel gauge that stopped working. I’ve found the problem to be the fuel gauge sending unit. The small board the float pins contact is worn out. So far, I’m having a difficult time finding a replacement. The small board has a couple numbers, CB125 and...

My X475 pto switch won't stay on/engaged. I have to hold it up to keep the mower deck running. If I pull on it and twist it a little, it will stay on but the next time I go in reverse (holding the pto switch up) when I go forward most times the switch will not keep the pto engaged. 1- Seems...

Hello everyone, I bought an X475 that smokes really bad, where is the best place to buy rebuild kit and also what is the starting adjustment air fuel screws on top of carb? Any help is appreciated.

The fuel line is rotten on my John Deere X475. Its about a model year 2000-2002 and its just front steer. How hard is it to replace the entire fuel line? It almost looks like the whole rear fenders and such need to come off, is this true? I'm sure the fuel line is rotten from some...

One of my X475's is having a rough time idling and backfires through the carb. I've took it apart, cleaned it well and reinstalled. While I had the fuel in and return lines off I blew them out to clear any obstructions. The valves are also adjusted correctly, new fuel filter, and plugs. There...

Trying to help the widow next door. Her tractor shuts down after about an hour run time. It may restart after half an hour or maybe many hours. John Deere dealer did her no good, said they ran it a lot and mowed with it and it didn't fail for them. She went to them with questions about vapor...

For a couple of months now my x475 runs for about 2 minutes after I turn the switch off. It happens even when engine is cool. I assume its just a bad switch but I don't want to pay $100 for a new switch and find its something else. Anybody had a similar problem?

I'am having trouble with the Temp. gauge showing that it's overheating when it is not, I have already changed the Temp. sending unit and the gauge still go all the way to the bottom "past the red", I have also noticed that when I engage the mower deck that the temp hand will move suddenly form...

I just bought a 47 quick hitch snowblower from a private seller and need the drive shaft from the tractor to the snowblower. What JD part no. do I need for this PTO shaft? I really appreciate your help. I hope I won't need it this year. Thanks.

Does anyone have the part number for the rear pto add on kit for a 2006 john deere x475 garden tractor? Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks

I recently went to use my John Deere X475 and the deck wouldn't engage. I replaced the switch and still nothing. I checked voltage at the solenoid and only showed 5.9 vdc. Does anyone know where I should check next? Any help would be great.

I received the Service Manual for my JD X475 this week. I found how to test the fuel tank sending unit so I could find out why the fuel gauge does not work. The worst problem is getting to the the fuel tank to be able to remove the sending unit. This requires removing the seat & the rear...

Today I became the owner of a JD X475 Garden Tractor with a 62C deck & poly cart. I bought it from a local discount store, so they did not know much about it. The X475 is not in to bad of shape. It has a broken tail light, bad seat cushion, it only has a couple of small scratches, the digital...

Ok, getting covered with snow with the 47 blower, how would the 45 FEL work? I have always used a FEL before I got hurt, and my wife will end up doing most of this but the blower shuts off in reverse, its VERY messy... Thoughts?

Anyone installed a 3 point hitch on their X series tractors? I'm interested in getting one and just wondering if the avg. mechanical inclined person like myself can do it? Which is better the CAT 1 or CAT 0? Are theris hydraulic lines to run? Need some info.

Anyone change out one of these? I got the cover off but the actual pump seems really stuck on. Does it take a good amount of prying? Its all aluminum and I don't want to braek something by prying or tapping with plastic hammer to much.

I'm looking at an x475 and x485, both 2004 models with 54 inch deck. Similar hours and condition. I want to put a snowblower on in the winter. What machine is better and why? Which one will hold it's resale better? Thanks!

I'm debating a x475 or a x485. Besides fuel injection, hydraulic ports, and 3 hp--what's the difference between the two? What has the better resale? Machine finder lists 60 some x475's and 125 or so x485's. Is the x485 the machine to get??????? Thoughts?

would like to hear from x475 owner's as to like's / dislike's of this model

I HAVE A 2006 X475 WITH A 54" DECK. RECENTLY, SHORTLY AFTER I FIRST ENGAGE THE MOWER DECK, IT WILL POP, ALMOST LIKE A BACKFIRE, AND THE DECK WILL DISENGAGE. I CAN RE-ENGAGE IT AND IT WORKS FINE. ANY IDEA WHY IT IS DOING THIS?

My JDX475 has been getting very warm and overheating, as well as running rough and "sucking for air."
