Still have the 755 for sale? Where are you located?

JD 755 loader for sale
John Deere Tractors
Replies 2 Post by John Sheehan

I am having to choose between the above tractors: JD 850 4WD vs 1050 2WD. Both are available and in excellent (restored) condtion. Both have loaders. The 850 is $12K and the 1050 is $11K. I am a first time owner. I have 24 acres but only need to mow 4-5 of these. I also need it for loader work/landscaping, and for post hole drilling (augering). I don't want to buy too little or too much tractor. I am leaning toward the 1050 because it's $1,000 less and it's 10 more HP, but I'm not sure of the tradeoff. Can anyone help? By the way, my land has some modest hills but nothing very steep (at least not the part that I will do anything with). Thanks in advance.<br>Rich

Your differential lock is working right. When you are using it, you need to KEEP pressure on the lock peddle. When it is let up and the same amount of traction is once again returned to both wheels, the peddle will release. Don't let up on the peddle until you are unstuck. JerryG

Eric. I can answer a couple of your questions. Those rear hydraulic outlets are sometimes refered to as "power beyond" and they are not cheap. I was quoted $500 in 1985 for my ford 1710 and I wish I had bought them. As to the rims ,I believe the 970 used 24" and the 1070 had 28". Bolt pattern might be the same but I do not know. If they did fit the smaller rear tires would cause a bad case of "lead" [refer to firestone home page for involved explanation of "lead-lag}. Dave

Dave. You might check with a Cub Cadet dealer. Someone on another board was quoted $204 including labor. I mention this because a relative has a JD 316 with a clutch that appears identical to my Cub 782. Just a thought.

There is a Yanmar club on Yahoo that has specs on most gray market tractors under their "Links" heading. Some of the memebers own similar machines. By the numbers, this would be a fairly modern 22 HP tractor and 4wd. I believe that the 10B suffix refers to some advanced features in the transmission. Nice machines.

Well, its almost time to pull out the Woods bush hog and mow the baseball field. One of the things that the cutter needs this year is new seals on the gear box, and I was wondering if others have had to do this as well?<br> I'm also curious about shear pins. What do you all use for shear pins? I've always used grade 2 (soft) 3/8" diameter bolts. I buy a whole bag of them from my farm store each year. Frankly, I have no idea what Woods - or anyone else - recommends for the purpose.

dbernardi, I was going to go with the driveshaft alighnment as the most probably cause of lots of vibration.....until you mentioned the 2" of up and down movement. Is this movement of the blades on the gearbox output shaft? Movement at the tips of the blades? Or is it movement of the gearbox shaft itself? You may have to take the inspection cover off of the gearbox to determine this. If either of the gearbox shafts can move in and out as much as the thickness of a dime, then this gearbox is in serious trouble and it is the fault of the manufacturer - not anything you did.
About drive shaft alignment, it has always been perplexing to me that the designers made it possible to assemble one wrong..But they surely did, and all over the world they continue to make the same dumb mistake. Some of the US cars and trucks used to use a splined two-piece driveshaft without a "keying spline". These could not only be assembled right or wrong, they could be assembled in as many variations as there were splines..!!

I bought my 4400 back in Dec-1998 with a 430 loader and 60" midmount mower. If you're concerned about mower clearance, I've never had any problems. However, you won't be able to mount the rear tires in their widest possible position. Because my 4400 had the original front axle, I did experience the scuffing problem documented elsewhere on this board. My dealer recently replaced the original front axle with the new design (no charge - under warranty) - scuffing is no longer a problem. Other problems - my dash panel fogged up (also mentioned on this board by other 4000 owners)but the dealer fixed that too. The mower and loader work very well and the tractor has plenty of power. I've been very happy with the tractor - no regrets whatsoever. Good luck.

Jim,
My 914a does a good job. The 29 being a heavy tractor, the cut can't match a commercial mowing machine, but it is as good as any tractor I have used. It is NOT the easiest on and off though.

Eric, I have a friend who has a Ford 1920 with a Farmi-type winch that weighsaround 700#. Outfit works great, but he does have to be careful to make only straight line hauls. If he gets offside it tends to pull the tractor around and quite possibly tip it over. This rig weighs around 6000# [loader, loaded tires. weights etc.]. I have a Ford 1710 that I use with a homemade arch and can usually snake my way to get to the logs. Lifting power is out of proportion to the size of the tractor. Truck driver who picked up logs at landing thought I was pulling his leg when I showed him what I had used.

I am looking at a Hinomoto N189 with 650 hours. Looks to be in good shape. Price for the tractor is $5900 asking. This seems a bit high for a grey market tractor. What is the comparable MF? the MF 1020? Any ideas on horsepower etc. and parts availability? I would also like to add a loader, what might this cost me? thanks

Joe, I have a copy of the 1983 JD Grounds Care Equipment Purchasing Guide that has the specs for the 75 loader. It lists the 75 loader as being for the 850, 950, and 1050 tractors. It is a good one as I bought an 83 1050 and just traded it last Dec. Was very happy with the loader except for when I asked it to do more than it was supposed to! Had no problems with it other than replace a couple of hydraulic hoses whose leaks were my fault. I also have an 89 Purchasing guide that has the 70 loader in it. Would be happy to look up specific questions or fax or mail page copies.

I hired an excavator once who had one. He swore by it as a very powerful and manuverable small machine. Its a 4wd articluating loader made in the 80's. I believe it weighs about 7000 lbs and is about 66" wide. The biggest drawback I know about it is that the cab is very cramped. I was looking for one to purchase, but ended up getting a used Allmand backhoe instead, which is about half the weight and only 2wd.

Like Bird I'm a Kubota owner so maybe I'm not qualified to answer, especially since I have no NH dealers close and know little about their equipment but I'll give you my 2 cents worth anyway. The NH is less expensive and from the posts on this board it is a very good machine. The dealer is obviously interested in your business even if he is 60 miles away. I'm one of the people who bought a Kubota because of an indifferent Deere dealer and I don't think anyone would argue about the value of a good and responsive dealer. So, unless you are desperate to drive a green machine I think the sensible answer would be the NH if the dealer will continue to offer good service after the sale and you can live with hom being 60 miles away. The NH dealer that is closer may not take too kindly to servicing a machine he did not sell in the first place and if his service is bad now, it probably won't get any better in the future.

You can back drag if you pin or tie the moldboard in the up position.
Some box scrapers have a setup to pin moldboard in either position built on. It also helps if you tilt the box scraper slightly up in the rear when draggin backwards.
