- JD 755 Utility
Hi y'all. Just joined and thought I'd start with a little intro. I recently bought a home sitting on 5 acres (+/-) and with the sale the PO left us a JD 755 Turf & Lawn Utility tractor that "needs a little" work. What I was told is: it needs a battery (currently has no battery at all), the fuel injectors need replaced, and the front tires need tending too (both currently are flat). Other than those issues it "appears" to be all together and intact. I am starting with doing some research, such as finding (and downloading) a repair manual, parts manual, and finding helpful resources such as this forum. Budget, as is often the case for many of us, is tight but as with anything else in life, just take it one step at a time. My first plan of attack is to get the front tires filled with air and pull the tractor out of the barn where it currently is and moved into my garage/shop to work on the rest of what needs to be done there. Such as putting a new battery in it, changing fluids and filters, and if need be R&Ring the injectors. I have formal education and experiencing in working on diesel engines, though it has been many years, even decades, since I have done that professionally. I use to work on heavy equipment and tractor/trailer rigs in my younger years. This is however the first tractor I have owned. With that said, one of the first questions I have is how do I determine what year the tractor is? Is there a VIN located somewhere on the frame? I have already found the model and the engine serial numbers, does the answer to my question lay somewhere in those numbers?
