It was suggested that I repost this here as I was told my tractor was built by Yanmar for John Deere and I might get a more informed response.
It’s a 755 hydrostatic that we have had for a long time.

As some might already know I am stuck doing all the chores while my husband is away taking care of a sick family member. I don’t want to bother him with problems and issues that arise here on the home front. So I have started posting on some of the sites he frequents to try and attain some help and insight with things I am not that great with.
This morning as I started to get ready fo a day of cleaning up along the tree line with one of our tractors it just didn’t want to cooperate. It’s a John Deere 755 that we have had for many years and is the smallest of them. We use it for cleaning up the tree line out back because it’s able to get in between trees and such that the others simply don’t fit and works great for picking up the fallen branches and rip out excess overgrowth with the grapple.
Anyway this morning I hooked up our dump trailer and parked out back, went to the barn and when I started the tractor it wasn’t working as it normally does. The loader seemed to hesitate and rise in a bouncing manner. Before it even reached a height good to clear as you back out, just quit moving completely. I tried moving it and it started to move then shuddered and stopped.
I guess I am hoping it’s something simple that Can be fixed easy, but just have no clue where to start. My guess is I won’t be able to fix it without help from someone that is better with tools. So I guess what I’m asking is does anyone have a clue what might be possible causes or has it just outlived itself?
Leave it alone? Call the local young lad that is willing to try and fix anything and give some Ideas on what needs done? Use one of the other tractors to push it onto a trailer and haul it to the dealership, and pray they use some Vaseline when they screw me you know where?
If I had at least an idea of what could be wrong it would be an easy choice.
I have received some responses and updated with more information in the original post, such as I have checked all fluid levels, tried simply changing the filters. All electrics work properly and lights on the dashboard come on as they should like the PTO light. I am not sure if the loader and steering went out at the same time but the tractor moved forward and back just a bit before it stopped moving at all and the 3 point will not raise. Simply put nothing hydraulic seems to work.
Currently I have used a come along to lift the loader and pulled it out of the barn in order to get one of our other tractors out to finish the job at hand. In neutral it rolled fine no tires locked or anything like that.
Any help is appreciated
And Thank You in advance
Janet.
