We need to find a new engine for a Deere 755 tractor. Does anyone know of a good source for these engines. I believe it is a 20 hp yanmar diesel. The engine in the tractor is worn beyond the point of being rebuildable. The dealer quote was over 5000.00 for the new unit. Afraid we can,t live with that price. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. Kenny, Thanks for the information. Dust was very likely the culprit. Thanks, Jim

My Dad has a 755 tractor. Recently it began to run rough, then it stopped running. He took it in to the dealer. Much time passed and the dealer couldn't get it started. He sent the engine in and more time passed. Today the dealer left him a message saying he needs a new engine, his is junk. 5000.00 plus. Is this possible? Are these 20 hp engines not rebuildable? Is there a reman program out there? are there other less costly engines that will fit the 755 tractor? Please advise. Thankyou! Irontrader

Hi, My Dad has a Deere tractor model 855. The fuel solenoid recently failed. (A broken wire) He replaced the unit but now can't get it restarted. He insists that the fuel system has been purged completely of all air. (At least he beleives it has)The exhaust has no fuel smell or color and it dosen't even try to start. No cough or firing of any kind. It has fuel at the injectors and we can hear the pump working. Is there something else to check? Any ideas would be appreciated. P.S. I wanted him to try a little either but he dosen't like that idea. Thanks, Jim

$DJE I don't know what year the 750 is but a good source for tractor manuals is Yesterdays Tractors online store. They have a huge selection, the one your looking for is a little spendy, about forty bucks I think. Another option if you're patient and don't mind the auction formats is E-bay, Amazon, Yahoo, etc. A good way to search is thru Auctionwatch.com. It searches about 300 sites including the three big ones I mentioned above. Dad has a 755 and I was able to get him the manuals thru the auctions including implement manuals in about a month at a fraction of the cost.$ John Deere 750 question

Re: Pond construction costs, Your 5K estimate sounds pretty reasonable to me, if they can deliver what you want in a timely manner. This is not a job for a guy with a backhoe or small dozer. It will be done most reasonably with a mid to large excavator and dumptrucks unless all soil is being used adjacent to the pond (i.e. one end or side) Then a large wheel loader or large dozer may be practical. The recomendation to aquire other bids is very good advise. Its often the only way know for sure that a quote is competitive. Pay close attention to grades and slopes as its being built as its costly to rework later. Good luck, Jim
