For what it is worth, I have a 750 which I put chloride in the rear tires.
After about a year the chloride ate up the valve cores. I replaced the stems
and cores and after another year they were leaking again. I bought 4 old JD
wheel weights (150 Lbs ea.) for $15 each, drilled them to fit the weight hole
pattern on the 750 and put a weight on the inside and outside of each rear
wheel. The outside weights do not extend beyond the rear tire, so I still have
my same clearance and don't have to mess with the chloride. I have found that
the weight is ample for using the loader.

I have a 1970 JD 140 with mower, tiller, front blade, center blade, and
trailer. It has done custom work plus my own. I have overhauled the engine
a couple of times and that is all. I don't know about the new Deeres, but
if they last like this one, the extra money would be well spent. I doubt if
there are many Sears machines still going that were built in 1970.

I ordered power steering when I bought my 750 new. The option was dealer
installed. Part of the package is a flow regulator which sends a fixed amount
(about 1 gpm) of oil to the power steering with the remainder going to the
control valves. I was disappointed with the speed of the loader cylinders so
started checking things out. The dealer had installed the flow regulator wrong
and 1.1 gpm of oil was going to the control valves with the remainder going
to the power steering. Dealer wouldn't help me at all. I had to figure it
out myself. (I don't use that dealer anymore.) Even with things hooked up
correctly the loader is noticeably slower than a 750 without power steering.
However, a loader tractor without power steering is definitely not for me.
