I'll do ya one better. My research on the woods/king models came from a dealer. But in terms of bush hog....try www.bushhog.com and send em an email - they actually called me back.

So my tally is thus: 3 equipment dealers (keys in clarion pa, keystone power in state college pa and ginst (sp) in frederick md), 1 equipment manufacturer (bush hog) and just shy of a dozen owners who never met each other who say the same thing. A couple of the owners had experienced failures - of the cutters frame or the tower from the bending forces of approaching even a slight grade. And as I said before, without said toplink (which btw is advertised in central tractors catalog as preventing rotary cutter damage..hmmmmmm) the cutter will no longer 'stump hop' and therefore will destroy the gearbox. Do many owners ignore the sage advice and run a solid toplink? Yep. And the parts aisles of the dealers are stock full of gear boxes next to the blades.......

Julie, why was your 1986 JD in need of a new engine? Seems kinda soon or was it used in a business?

I know that Exxon uses a 80% diesel and 20% kerosene as their 'winter blend' here in Virginia. What you have to be careful of is that kerosene does not have all the same lubricating qualities as #2 diesel. Kero is refined better/more than diesel and some of the waxes/lubricants (??) are taken out by the time it gets to the kero stage. So if you burn straight kero you could/would damage the engine after XX hours. Although a diesle engine burns the fuel, the fuel also serves as a lubricant as it is used by the engine. I am not sure soon damage may occur, but you can always call an oil company and ask. I am sure they can tell you.

Michael,
Yes, the quote included live PTO, and I am dealing in southwestern PA. I returned to the dealer today and again discussed price and as far as I can discern he has approximately $11,250 in the tractor. Do you feel this is an accurate figure? The quote did not include a loader, I'm attempting to negotiate implements separately, but the dealer is resisting, trying to mix/match and fudge numbers.

Chris, I am using info gathered from this site. Chuck Westerfield did a post describing the old axle vs new. Quite simply, the old axle had two pistons one to each side, the new axle has one piston with a connecting rod. One post I read said that when Deere designed the first axle they made it stout enough for loader work . When commercial groundskeepers mowed with it they encountered the scuffing problem. I guess Deere figured when they first addressed the issue that if you didnt have the belly mower, your were not going to mow so, why replace a very stout axle that was perfectly functional. Now, as best I can understand, everyone is getting the new axle.
Read the posts from Mike S, he has had the most difficulties that were all taken care of under warranty. He has promised that when he has the time he will post all of his experiences. He's been great with info. Hope this info helps.

Jeff - I have a #7 hoe that also leaks down. I always keep the boom pin in when I'm not using it, which prevents it from leaking down.

Yes, the 955 is a hydro and the 790 gear driven. They are about the same physical size and HP but the 790 is an economy machine. The 55 series are great mowing machines. Nothing against the 790, but I would go with the 955 if it's in good shape and the price is right. I almost bought a new 790 before I located a used 1998 855 with 140 hours on it. It's a great machine, although at 6'2" I'm a little cramped on it. I use it for brush hogging my lawn and about a mile of woods roads and paths as well as for loader work, with occasional backhoe digging. Actually, I wish I had the 955. My PTO HP is under 20 which rules out some 3 pt implements. I think both the 790 and 955 have at least 25 HP PTOs.

I have a JD #7 backhoe on my 855. It is a quick-attach subframe mount and I don't see how it could ever come loose IF installed properly.

The sleeve serves two purposes - to protect the hose from abrasion, and to protect the operator from the high pressure oil which can easily penetrate the skin in case of a rupture.

Thomas,
I had the same experience with my 670. New part number, smaller filter. While i too would prefer the larger filter (size matters) I had no problem with it. If it bothers you, I guess you could cut your oil change interval. It wouldn't cost that much money.

I have the earlier 1500 4wd. My guess is that with hills to mow you will not be happy with 2wd on this tractor. It is fairly light and I think you would need the 4wd.

Good Luck

Success!!

I bled the fuel filter to fill it, the line to the injector and then the line where it meets the injector pump. I had to crank the engine a bit to get fuel to the injector pump, or else it just takes a long time (after waiting 15 secs for fuel to come out the bleed, I cranked it and immediately saw it leave). And then it went!!

Thanks again.
