john deere x595

Tractor will not go forwards or backwards

Any one had a problem with a PTP switch / engaging a mower deck on John Deere X595

Hello, I have a strange problem with my X595. It starts cutting outafter about 15 minutes, first dropping one cylinder then two and then three. When taking the load off and turn it to idle quick, it will keep running but only just. Turning it off for just 5 seconds and it will run fine for...

Hello, I have arthritis in my right foot and ankle from an injury in my younger years that can make it difficult for me to press the forward pedal on my x595. Removing the dampener / shock absorber from the forward pedal linkage makes it easier for me to press the forward pedal and causes less...

I am looking at a X595 around 2003 year 580 hours, if anyone can help what I read these are great machines looking for something to mow slopes with. It is in very good shape couple scratches here and there he is askin $4800 wandering if this sounds ok or whaty would be a good price.

Hello! I have a 2002 X595 (diesel) that overheats after 45 minutes of heavy use of the PTO. The problem has slowly gotten worse over the past few years. The tractor has 900 hours. In the past I would remove the hood and make it thru the project, but no longer. A new radiator is $600.00 and on...

I'm sure this topic has been posted previously, but when I try the site's Search function, I get thousands of hits without finding a relevant one. My 595 is 15 yrs old and reliability has been golden. Today (in Wis and temp is 25F), the engine stops running as soon as I release the brake pedal...

This is a really weird problem and I suspect a bad or broken earth wire. As soon as I engage the PTO both the temperature and fuel gauge go full scale. This also happens when I apply the brake or turn the lights on. I just realise the one thing they all have in common. A light on the dash turns...

The plug, part number M810730, is leaking and I am inquiring on the procedure to replace the plug. I have the JD Technical Manual, but this is shown but not referenced. In advance, I would appreciate any direction provided.

Hello, I once had a x748 with 60 7 Iron deck that I sold a few years ago. Now with Fall and Winter coming I am finding myself with the itch to get another x5 or x7 series 4WD tractor. I can get a X595 nearby here with just over 1100 hours for about 5K. I have searched the forums and other...

i have a x595 was having a problem with the steering and the deck wouldnt go up and down without making alot of noise and then it was jittering while going forward wasnt having any problems with the mower deck at the time i changed the filter on the rear trans anfd that corrected all the...

Hi There! X595 PTO will not engage. Checked Module/key switch, relays, PTO Switch, Seat Switch, Brake Switch, over heat sensor and PTO Solenoid All Checked Good. I was mowing on hot day and mower deck stopped due to heat I thought. When cooled would not engage. I have gotten a couple...

Does anyone know if a 62 inch drive over can be installed on this tractor. Besides a new mower deck, is a quick attach hitch kit available, or can the parts be ordered and installed? Does John Deere have any literature on this?

I've been using Amsoil 15W-40 Heavy Duty and Marine oil in my X595 Yanmar diesel. The 15W is too high for my climate (Wisconsin). I do run it a lot in the winter for snow plowing. I believe the Amsoil premium 5W-40 API CJ-4 is the best choice from Amsoil to use for my tractor. Let me know if...

I purchased a 2003 Deere X595 this fall, and it came with a Curtis cab. The model numbers for the cab are BM21481 and BM21482...yup, it lists both on the tag. My question is in regards to the approx 2" gap between the hood and the cab above the floorboards, where your shins would be. I think I...

Hello, I just want to say hello from Germany. My Name is Stefan, i am 40 years old, electric engineer, and got yesterday my (used) John Deere X595. The JD is from 2006 and has 300hours on it. I hope i didnt miss the "hello" Thread, and its ok, that I opened a new Thread!? And by the way: Sorry...

Can anyone help out there I was wondering if the rear pto on my x495 will fit into an x595 that I'm looking at buying but doesn't have one. And if it's just a unbolt and seal job? Thanks

Hi, My father is looking for a JD 47 Snow Blower for his x595. I found a used one on CL for him that was on a x475. He is trying to find out what he would need to purchase to get this blower to work on his x595. From looking at JD's website it looks like the blower, quick hitch, implement drive...

The last couple times putting the loader on the hydraulics started acting goofy, had to reverse lines to get them to work then the next time the bucket operates both directions before it actually engages the direction of the lever, I was thinking their must have been some crap in the quick...

Sound like a short in a wire or maybe the board itself its on, but the fuse blows when it hits a bump so Im guessing a wire touching ground but what circuit might this be after it leaves the board on the right side of the radiator kinda is my question , anyone else have any similar issue or at...

Tried starting my tractor and.... Nothing I checked voltage at the glow plugs and I have no voltage. I think I have a bad glow plug relay. Is there somebody that can tell me where the glow plug relay is located and how to test it to see if it's bad?

I just bought an 04 X595. When its a little cooler it takes awhile to start. I checked with a test light to see if I had juice to the glow plugs. This morning it did now it doesnt. Do they cycle on everytime the key is turned on no matter the outside or engine temp? It cranks and puffs white...

Hi guys, my x595 (2004 I think) recently had an electrical failure. I've traced the problem to the small printed circuit board mounted under the radiator shroud on the right side of the tractor. There's a burned up resistor in the board that I can pretty easily replace but it's so charred that I...

Just changed the fuel filter on my tractor and now I can not get fuel. I have taken the fuel line off of the filter housing on the Input side and there is a little bit of fuel that pumps out but when it is hooked up to the filter housing No fuel comes out the output side. I even tried putting...

I have had trouble starting my tractor when it's been cold outside but it's always started, if not the 1st try usually by the 2nd. Now tonight it's 10 degrees with a wind chill of 10 below. Tractor will not start. I'm guessing the fuel is gelled up, is there anyway I can tell if that's the...

Just brought home a used Curtis hard sided cab for my X595. I'm looking forward to getting it on, and moving some snow this winter in a nice warm tractor! Anyway does anyone know where I can find installation instructions or does anyone have them that they can send me? I don't know where to...

Hello everyone, I am a new member to the forums, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I just purchased my first garden tractor, John deere X595 after spending almost a year researching the different L&G tractors out there. I have been looking at loaders for my tractor and came...

I was mowing and everything was running fine - stopped the 595 and turned her off - went to start her up again - heard a little "sparking" sound - the dash panel lights flickered for a min' - then nothing... no dash lights - no start - nothing... pulled the battery and made sure it was charged...

I bought a plow and cultivator for my X Series tractor (X595). Paid the retail price listed in the sales catalog, so I didn't get a deal. Was surprised when I picked them up that they were still in pieces in the boxes. Didn't realize some assembly required. Is this normal John Deere service...

Changed the engine oil for the first time the other day....YAY!.... and noticed that the sump drain plug was located a few inches from the bottom of the pan so you cant drain all of the old oil/sludge out before putting the new stuff in. This seems to me a crazy design fault , has anybody else...

Hello - I have tried to find the part number for the grass catching attachment to suit a X595 mower with 54"deck but the JD part number site makes no sense to me and is starting to boggle my mind. Does anybody know the part number and also are they worth the money? Thanks in advance.

Instructions say to drain front and rear axles. Why would i drain the rear axle? I can only assume they mean (even though they dont state it) to do that for a full time 4WD tractor like the x748. The other question I have is, it doesn't say to pack the bearings with grease, so does that mean...

I just finished installing a Warn xt25 2,500 lb winch on my '03 x595. Since I've occasionally come across threads asking about winch installs, I thought I'd share my project for others who may be interested in something similar. The reason for the install is that we have a hilly property, and...

Will a 54" snow plow setup from a John Deere 4100 tractor work with an x595? Andreas

Ok the X595 has the ability to switch between 2 and 4wd, which means it has a drive shaft to the front wheels. The X748 is constant AWD, or is it 4wd, not sure. I am told that it does not have a front drive shaft, but works through the hyd. system. I know if I keep my 595 in 4wd it will tare up...

Anyone know if a 7 iron deck can fit, or be made to fit on an X595? My dealer says it doesn't fit, but doesn't say or know why. A TBN member says he has one on his 2006 X728, which is supposed to be an exact duplicate of the X595. So does anyone else know first hand that this combination will...

I just bought an X595 and wanted to know if anyone knows how set it up so it can mow in reverse. It was very simple to do on my GX345 , but the 595 seems a bit more complicated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone know if the headlight assembly on an X595 2004 comes apart for cleaning? I know it does on my GX345, but I can't see how or if it does on my X595. I found a new one on eBay for $100. I think it's ridiculous. As a matter of fact I can't believe the prices on all the CHEAP plastic...

I found this ad, obviously it is already sold! Darn...i missed a good one!

I recently purchased a 2003 x595 that came with the shaft-driven 62c deck. Since the deck is larger than what I need, I'd like to swap it for a similar-hour 54c deck. I received a PM from a TBN member stating that he has a 2008 x720 with the 54c deck and is interested in a trade. Will these...

This is my first post on the forums, so why not start with the fact that I'm searching for an x595 4WD with a 54" deck. I'm in Maryland and am willing to drive quite a distance for the right example. Alternately, I would consider having one shipped. Please let me know if you have one for sale...

Hi all, am looking for X595 or 748 3TNE74 engine. My unit has destroyed the block Any ideas very welcome please.. Cheers from, Australia Robert Carr Australias Big Country Radio..FM88 Tweed Coast and Gold coast

Hello, I just serviced my X595 and mowed about 4 hours. I stopped for about an hour and went to restart to continue but it will not start. Battery is good, starter checks out. I also checked seat switch, mower deck switch and the brake interlock swtch which are all good. I checked the fuses and...

Hello guys and gals. I'm new here and looking for a bit of information. My father picked up a 40 amp alternator to replace the little baby 20 amp on our X595 JD tractor due to adding lights and an in cab heater. The 20 amp can't keep up. I've read the 20 amp is externally regulated, and the...

Just wondering what your likes and or dislikes are about the 3TNE74 motor. Secondly, has anyone had any troubles with the motor, fuel injection, transaxle, MFWD or anything else on the tractor for that matter? I think the X595's track record is pretty well spoken of, for the most part. So...

Ok, So my X595 maintenance light doesn't seem to want to go off. From what I understand is that they changed the way that this is reset just before my serial number. -30000 they had a reset button on the right side behind the screen. 30000- they made it automatically reset after you changed the...

Wow, what a machine. I can't believe how quiet it is compared to my 955. It came with a 62" deck and a plow setup. I think this may be the my favorite so far. Tony

Hey guys...I am looking for a X595. I would prefer a 2005 with 400 or under hours. I have found a few searching but none locally. Closest is in IL. What is a fair price for these units? Anything to look for on a used unit like this?

After finishing installing the heater in the Curtis cab I went to start the tractor and just one little click of the starter and that was it. I forgot to tighten the positive cable on the starter. Thought that was it but no. Checked the two fuses on the right side but they're both good. Now it...

John Deere X595 4WD diesel lawn tractor, 150 hours, fully serviced and cared for.... I was mowing for an hour or so under moderate load when the engine died. I checked it over, everything looked OK, and restarted 2 minutes later with no problem, mowed for another 10 minutes then the same thing...

On my X595 (only 330 hours but out of warranty time), looks like I have a leaking seal on the engine crankshaft at the shaft drive end (just behind the belt pully wheel). Has anyone experienced this? Can the seal replacement be done with the engine in situe?

I am going to buy a new or used lawn tractor this year (soon). I do need 4wd for the hills I have and these seem to be the choices I have. Before anyone says JD X700 series that thing is huge. Does anyone have any information good or bad on both units to help my selection process? I know the...

I have a 2001 X595 with the 62C mower deck and about 1050 hrs and had my first break down. I was mowing the back yard at my church and all of a sudden, the tractor just died. I first looked at the temp gauge and it was fine. I then noticed a large wet spot all around my left front tire area...

Hi folks, Having an issue with my 5 y/o X595. Can use the front end loader ok, but when I remove it to start mowing with the mid mounted mower I can't get it to move. Any suggestions?

I have a seat thats from a JD X 595 for sale. I had it installed on my JD 2210 for less than a year. I traded for a 2520, so I don't need this seat anymore. It made an amazing improvement in the ride quality. It rode better than my 2520 currently does. I paid ALOT of $$$$ for this seat...

Anyone else having a problem with their X595 running hot? Mine is used strictly for mowing (54C deck), it's coming up on 3 years old, and has roughly 200 hours on it. It seems to be getting worse - if the ambient temp is 80 degrees or above, that needle sneaks over very close to the red range...

I'm trying to find a different place to get blades for my 62" deck. I just installed my third set of blades for this year. The soil here is very sandy and it seems to wear the blades pretty quickly. Although I do cut a lot of grass each week - usually about 8-9 acres a week. At $54 a pop, it...

OK…hopefully my last “I need help” posting. Down to the wire with my tractor purchase, now I could use some advice from the experts on which way to lean. 2005 X595 (54” mower/4WD diesel engine w/29 hours) $10,191 2006 X728 (54” mower/4WD gas engine w/0 hours) $10,810 I will be using it...

I was wondering if anyone has come across a cheaper 40amp alternator for the X595 (Yanmar) diesel engine. The JD upgrade for $400 is too much.

Hey all, new to the and a lot of good info on here! I am coming from an 68 IH Cub Cadet 105. Just rebuilt the original engine 2 years ago and she still runs strong. I am looking at the X585 or X595. I was going to go with the 585, but I have read that there is a surging issue with the Kawi...

Over the weekend I was swapping out my 54in mowing deck for the winter. This was the first time I'd ever removed my deck. I lowered the deck and removed the shaft drive. I then raised the deck and set the cut height to 5in, per the manual. So far so good, The instructions say to rotate the...

Took delivery of my new X595 Special Edition about six weeks ago and so far am very happy with its performance. I too agonized between the X595 and the 2210, but I had to really look closely at my true needs. I needed a comfortable mowing machine 95% of the time with 5% pushing snow in the...

Neighbors probably thought I was strange as I drove around the yard with a stupid grin on my face. I'm still smiling. The speed suprised me as did how smooth it rode over our lawn. I'm looking forward to see how it plows our driveway and road in the winter. Price: 13,013 62" MMM 3 pt. Cat 1...

After mowing today I was blowing the grass off the tractor. I noticed under the engine an oil drip. Closer inspection shows it is the steering cylinder leaking at the rod end cover via the rod seal. Probably not a big deal (warranty) but still the "awl-shoot" factor of owning a new tractor...

Does anyone know what the thread is on a X595's oil drain plug? The Deere PN is M806544. Unfortunately the on-line parts does not tell me the diameter and thread pitch of the drain plug. Does anyone know? thanks

I have about 1.25 acres to mow, and a 90 foot drive way to plow. That being said, I'm looking at the three tractors above. I'm not convinced that I need the 2210, besides, it is much more expensive. No plans for any rear powered accessories, just one awesome mowing machine. I also am not...

I feel the dark side pulling me in......to a 2210 (Darth 2210?) After searching and reading posts on comparisons most posts leaned towards the 2210 but I know several TBN'rs went with the X595 instead. It couldn't be due to price or capabilities, seems like the 2210 beats the X595 in both...

I want a X595 with the 62" deck, possibly the deluxe seat. Will want rear PTO and 3pt for a future tiller. What is a good price for this machine? I know what Build Your Own on Deere's website states... but I want to know what other people have paid. Thanks, jackie

Has anyone had experience using KingKutter XB series attachments on a JD X595 3PH. This 3PH only has a spread range of 24"-29" inches and I am looking for attachments that would fit without too much modification. I know JD has some, but they are AWFULLY proud of them.

Yes, I have searched and found info on the 2210 and X595. For my needs, and size, the 595 is probably overkill. It is a beautiful machine however! My concern is, what is "a good deal" on an X595, with 48" deck, 3 bag powerflow, 40 amp alternator, and spark arrestor? The lowest I've gotten w/o...

I tried the iMatch on the limited 3PH on my X595. The bracket fits the hitch OK and of course you need an iMatch-compatible Ballast Box (#BW15073). However, the center draft arm cannot be extended long enough to properly level the ballast box -- it sits at an upward angle facing the driver. I...

I would like to put an iMatch on an X595 mostly for quick hitching the ballast box whenever I hook up a front implement like a 45 loader or a snowblower. I believer the 3PH on the 595 is a limited CAT 1 however. Does anyone know if the iMatch will work with that 3PH without significant mods...

I saw an X595 at the fair. It seems a better choice than the 2210, a HUGE tractor by comparison. Couldn't figure out the JD site to get info on it but found it by going to Google. It got me into the right JD site area. Offers an FEL and lots of other implements. No bush hog, but can buy a...

Just want all to know that I enjoy going out to our barn and seeing that green machine sitting there. Thanks for the responses for my post . It really does out do the bota bx2200, in many ways , and most of all doesnt hurt my leg when mowing...thanks again !!

What do you all have for opinions on these two units? I'm looking for something to mow lawn mostly. Already have a L3010 for the bigger jobs. I have several side hills to deal with and a lot of manuvering around apple trees. I have also looked at the X495 AWS but not sure what your thoughts...

Looking to trade my2001 bx2200 tractor for a john deere x595 . Want to know if any one has any problems with them or ? Bx forward reverse pedal is getting to my bum leg so its got to go ! Have a dealer that will trade mine even for a 2002 x595 with 62 inch deck, same hours 180 . I dont need the...

Just a quick question to see if any one out there owns a x595 with a 62 inch deck.Want to know how its doing, any problems , and what's not to like about em? Going to buy one this week end ! Thanks

what\'s the difference between the x595 and 2210 ??

I have a JD 430 L&G w/60" MMM that I bought new 1-5-85. It has been and still is a great mower, never had a service call or problem. But, I realize that I may now be working on borrowed time as it's only a matter of time before problems start to arise due to age if nothing else. So, I am...

I am needing to replace my newly restored JD318 - which I really like, but it is too small for my property, and I definitely need the 4wd for the hilly parts of the property. How does the 2210 stack up? I am quite concerned about the size, as Deere's website shows a turning radius of 7.5 ft...

Have been looking for a tractor. Thought I was down to the 2210 or Bx2200. Then saw the X595. I have three acres of flat ground. I do have quite a lot of stone drive way, some landscaping projects and a good sized garden (20' x 30'). Primary use will be mowing. Both are made by Yanmar. The X...
