Had a strange one show up. Tractor has been running/starting great. Other day, it turned over about 3 times and died. Had weak dash lights and buzzing sound when tried to start. Dead battery, right? Charged battery, no dice. Really dead battery right? Replaced battery, still no dice. Ok, I'll get to it. Turned out to be the negative battery cable. No outward appearance of a problem, ie, no corrosion, no kinks, no loose or dirty connections, looked fine. But it was nearly an open circuit. New one solved the problem. Lesson, don't jump to conclusions, it's expensive.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I moved to a new house in the meantime and have been very busy. However I did finally remove the tractor seat and cover plates so I could get at the valve and linkage. Long story short, I sprayed the linkage and input shafts to the valve with lubricant and waddayaknow, it limbered up and now works fine, much to my relief.

I am trying to acquire a set of maintenance manuals for my JD755. Are they still in print? How do I go about it? Checked the posts but did not see anything about JD manuals.

I knew when I posted the question that the answer was going to be embarrassingly simple. It was! But now I am happy because I finally know how to print the messages. Thanks all!!!

I know this is a tractor board, but bear with me. I had a Volkswagon Rabbit diesel that was hard to start when cool. Found a loose wire in the glow plug circuit. Tightened the terminal screw and it started like a champ. Stranger things have happened, you may want to inspect the wires in the glow plug circuit.

I want to thank everyone who responded to my post. This is a great forum! I have been "reading the mail" for about 6 months and learned a lot. With regard to snow removal, I now know what my options are will do a little more research on blowers versus loader blades before making the plunge. Thanks to all!
