Grumpy Old man Says Hello !

[kensnelling]

Welcome from Oklahoma. Congratulations on your new purchase. I don't know much about green tractors, but if you go to the JD Owning Operating forum you can probably find out more about your 855 than you want to know.

Welcome to TBN Grumpy. Being the Vols dismal season I sure can understand you being grumpy all right. We are all glad to have you here.:thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum. The 855 is a pretty good little unit. Unless you know the previous owner and his service record, I'd go on and do a full oil-change, service inspection. If you have brush to clear on control, you may want to consider a Ratchet Rake or some other tooth bar for the loader. It makes pulling out brush a breeze on a small tractor. Have fun.

Welcome to TBN

I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome and for the times you all will be reading my posts and saying to yourself " Whats grumpy gotten himself into this time ? Does he ever stop with all these projects ? " You will see that I come from the old school of thought that just because a tractors 20 years old does not mean it should not work the way it did brand new OR BETTER ! and I keep all my toys in the best condition I can .I read one thread "in the woods " ? I believe from obed and will try to entertain you all in like fashion by sharing some of the trials and tribulations of self building a property , Home /out buildings and orchard ! The man I traded the 855 from ( thats right I TRADED MY CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE FOR THE 855 ) was a real country gentlemen and I think I saw a tear in his eye when I loaded the tractor . He cleaned the tractor ,changed the oil and all filters and greased everything before I picked it up ,also gave me 2 cases of hydrive and a case of oil along with an extra set of filters he had for the 855 , I will post some pictures asap ,Thanks again everyone !
