Oil & Fuel Got my 855 back....

[Brian_Stephens]

So long story short my 855 was with my brother in law for about 2 years.. He was not kind to her..

We picked her up last weekend under less then cordial terms..

I've picked up all the filters and fluids and new blades to replace the (now serrated) on the mower deck..

I didn't get the manuals and I may actually have to replace them...

But so I can get my grass cut.. Does anyone have the short versions for changing hydraulic fluid/filter All I really need is the drain plug locations for both hydro and engine oil. Replacing the mower blades I would need to more detailed notes... hopefully the belt holds.. I will have to look for one if not..

You might see if Deere has the Owners Manual available on line for your tractor. I think these are free downloads.

Seriously, if you don't know what a drain plug looks like then read the manual before you start the LOF. I would add that since you have been a member for 10 years but have only had 72 posts you may find that more participation here might be a benefit to you. This is a good place to learn more about your tractor and to be frank you should learn more about these simple tasks to protect yourself as well as your tractor.

jenkinsph is correct. I got ALOT of help on how to do my 500 hours service, and I'm not very handy. There will be a good size list of things you need, make sure it's everything (I almost missed a gasket) and you get the correct part numbers. You may want to re-post with something like "Servicing the hydro system on my JD855" or some such. Good luck!
