I have a JD 955 with a 72" mmm & FEL. The mower takes about 15 min. to install/
take off. The loader about 1 min. A cement floor is a real plus for removing
the mower. The wheels turn sideways & after disconnecting a few things it
slides right out. I would definitely check the ease of removal/installation
before I bought any tractor.

I am mowing about 8 acres with my JD 955. I was debating which type finish mower to buy, either belly or rear. I am so glad I decided on the 72" belly mower. Manueverability is so much easier, especially backing up & going around trees etc. My 2 cents worth.

I am thinking of buying a JD 955 that has never had a mid mount mower. I would like a 72" mower & also need the hardware that is used to attach it. Buying the tractor hinges on finding a mower first. Local JD dealer said new ones are no longer available. Anyone have any suggestions?

I found a JD 955,1995 less than 500 hrs., 70A loader,two sets of tires ag & turf, very clean, & well maintained (altho I haven't seen it in person). Also a trailer made by Gold Star Enterprises with a GVWR of 7000#'s, Twin axle, wood deck, side rails & new tires, electric brakes & ramps.Price is 15,000.00. I also need a mid mount mower, since I am primarily going to mow grass (about 8 acres). Found a used but like new one that came off of a 1990 955. Does anyone know if it is the same hook-up (brackets etc) as the 1995 955? Asking price of the mower is 1350.00. Any thoughts on the price of these?

I have a 154 cub lo-boy with a 5' belly mower that doesn't have much power.I changed the plugs, points etc. It is worse going uphill in 2nd gear. Compression on three cylinders is 120 & 85 on the other. Oil use does not seem bad. Maybe valves? Am I expecting too much from this 12 hp engine?

I have a 154 Cub Lo-Boy with a 5' woods belly mower. It seems to be losing power especially when I mow uphill in 2nd gear. I have changed the plugs, points etc. checked timing also. compression is 120 in three cylinders & 85 in the other. Any suggestions about rebuilding the engine or if it will even help that much. I know these engines are only supposed to be about 12 hp. Does anyone think it would be a valve problem. It doesn't really use that much oil.
