Mike, I have had a JD430 with a 60 inch deck for about 15 years (had a JD420 before that)and it has always done a pretty good job except in wet conditions. I have had to get under there and scrape it out after mowing real wet grass a couple of times. One thing I did was I removed the deflector and that really made a difference in that it let the mower throw the grass clear. I removed the deflector not long after I got it due to it bogging down the mower (same problem you have)and it seemed I always had it tied up to get into tight spots anyway (that thing was pretty big). Of course all of the standard warnings and disclaimers apply about removing/altering safety devices but that's what I did and it solved my problems. Great mower.

I have one of the valves to fill tires, I got it from TSC. I works pretty good. I have filled probably 6 or 8 tires since I got it and it's alot cheaper than taking it to the dealer.

My father has a 2WD 855 w/ a 60" belly mower, turf tires and canopy that has about 1550 hours on it. It is all JD has has only been used to mow grass (his lawn, 6 acres) and has always been kept in the garage and regularly serviced by the local dealer. It is in great shape, he always washed it after he mowed the lawn (he even waxed it a couple times a year). About a year ago he decided to hire someone to do the lawn and now wants to sale the 855.<br> So, anybody have an idea what this might be worth? <br>
