Re: JD 855 Won\'t Start

It was an air heater problem. There is a control module that plugs into a receiver that is mounted on the engine side of the firewall. The prongs on the module and the receiver were packed with dirt, preventing current flow to the heater even though the indicator light on the operator's panel operated normally. It was not evident until the module was unplugged. Cleaned the terminals and it works fine now. Heads up; the same thing could happen to any 655, 755, 855, or 955.

Thanks Dennis! I am in the middle of doing a bunch of routine maintenance on my 855, and I will pay special attention to cleaning the contacts as you pointed out.
