Here's another idea. I already had a 3pt. hitch subsoiler (ripper) so I took out the steel shank, bolted on a bumper hitch attachment I had (takes a square tube - the kind used in a receiver) and used a straight insert with a hitch ball attached to it. Of course, I already had these parts on hand so all I did was drill and tap a couple of holes. If you weld, you could get some scrap steel and make something similar for a few dollars. The big advantage over the draw bar method is the 3pt hitch will elevate the trailer tongue and I can move two or three trailers around without ever cranking or folding the trailer tongue jack.

I sorta remembered what the over running clutch was suppose to do (it has been yrs since i have used the mower and tractor though), but thought it also may serve double duty as a slip clutch.. I was slightly confused hehe

thanks for getting me straight

I also have the same problem, The noise is only heard when letting the clutch out in a reverse geer. The tractor is a 4300, 2000 year model. I have around 250 hrs on it now and the noise just keeps getting worse. I called my John Deere dealer about the problem and has made an appointment to work on it next week. After talking to him about the problem, he has no idea of what is causing the noise. If anyone else has had this problem and had it fixed or know what is cousing it, PLEASE respond. Other than the noise, I have had no other problems with the tractor.

Are you sure it's a hydro? I thought the '50 series were gear and the '55 series were hydro.

Boy do I feel dumb. I have also been toting 5 gal containers back and forth, to and from town. I didn't even think about the 1000 gal tank I walk past (or over) everyday. I always fill my home heating oil tank every August, and never have had less than 400 gals when filled. Thanks for the idea - a great solution for fueling my tractor.

Thanks for the help folks.
I had time today to dive into the problem. I found the neutral switch located in the flywheel bell housing under the tractor frame. It is a micro switch device which is actuated by a roller on a lever that centers itself in a "V" shaped grove in the lever plate. This plate rotates in responce to foward/reverse pedal movement. When the pedals are neutral the roller is in the bottom of the "V" and depresses the neutral switch. After I determined the nature of the beast and how it functioned I found that the switch was not being depressed far enough to make the circuit. I loosened the two screws that hold the switch and move it towards the roller. There is not much adjustment in doing this but it was enough to get the switch to make when in the neutral position. Note: the switch is very hard to get to.
Good luck to anybody who tries to make the adjustment. I do not know if this is the factory fix, but it worked for me.

Thanks all for the info. After reviewing the particulars as well as my expected usage conditions, I have opted not to get the bi-speed option. Thanks again.

I noticed that when I was traveling with my mower in the raised position that one side was higher. I discovered that the rear lift arms were bent at the back where they go through the lift blocks. I took the lift arms off, bent them straight, redid the mower installation on the tractor (TC33D) by the book and they are bending again. I've lubricated them where they go through the lift block and the lift brackets on the 3-pt hitch seem wide enough that they should not be bending these arms. I replaced the 1/2" washer infront of the adjustment spring so it is smaller and can't get stuck in the lift block.. This mower was previously used on my 1530NH (TC25D) for 80 hours and I did not notice this problem. Help would be gratefully appreciated.

MJB, thanks for the discussion on direct and indirect injection. You might have cleared up opne mystery for me... My wife has a Ford F-250 Direct Injection Turbo diesel, and I had though that they were indirect injection before the turbo version - although I am not sure about this.
One reason for the indirect injection might be the noise reduction. I have two of the US imported compact Yanmars. One is direct injection and the motor has a distinct "diesel knock" at all speeds. This is normal for the engine...and in fact is almost a "clang" at some RPMs. The other Yanmar is indirect injection and is much quieter. Instead of a noise like a hammer on an anvil, it fires with a sort of rolling chuckle and purr. Not quiet, but not like the other one at all. The direct injection is much more fuel efficient in spite of the noise.

Howard, that certainly is not the gearset that I was expecting to break. I agree with you that those gears turn in 4wd or not, and although any front axle gets hit with windup stress if the machine is driven loaded in 4wd, it should be able to take a moderate amount of this.
Looking at the exploded diagram, I cannot tell if there appears to be a snap ring positioned where it could drop into the teeth. This is because my parts book and service manual cannot agrre if there are two ball bearings separated by a snap ring above the driven gear on the vertical tower shaft - or if there is only one ball bearing with the snap ring between it and the bevel gear. Which way is yours put together??
Another odd thing is that The service manual does not give any shimming instructions for the bevel gear engagement. Nor does the parts book show any shims. When Yanmar puts a similar axle on their own tractors, they put a lot of effort into shimmming these same fits. Odd that they would do it differently for JD. As far as I can see, the bevel gears on the JD are free to float laterally along their gear shafts a small amount. Is this true?
I have not heard of other 855s having a similar problem - have you? Without some more detective work, this is not going to be easy. I'll confess that I don't have a ready answer.

On a previous thread we ended up thinking that the reason for 3pt lift capacity ratings were probably related more to the front end weight and possibly how much you can lift with a stock tractor before the steering becomes (too) light. As far as HP, frame strength, material strength, and things like that are involved....from those aspects all tractors are capable of handling far more than the rating on the 3pt.
Another thing that came up was that every tractor had plenty of 3pt power. Nobody reported that their tractor was short of lift capability.

Thanks to all who responded.
I have taken the plunge and bought a L3010 HST, also with a Kubota loader, and Farm King 72 inch rear mower. The snow blower will come in November.
My mowing is all flat so I have opted for loaded R-4's for better flat protection.
The dealer suggested them and even offered to exchange them for Turfs within the first few weeks if I experience any turf damage. I'll just have to avoid sharp turns on wet grass, I think.
As an aside, the dealer also sells New Holland in an adjacent location and I tried one side-by-side with the Kubota yesterday as a final test before deciding.
The unit was equiped with optional "super steer" that pivots the whole front axel. The objective is to allow for very sharp turns which it does.
The 3010 has more traditional setup and I was suprised that it's turning radius was "almost" as impressive.
The 3010's gound clearance is noticebly superiour and I am concerned that the New Holland's single pivot point for the axel is more likely to fail.
I also noticed that the New Holland axel would likely be problematic for close loader work since the axel setup causes the front-end to shift significantly when turning the wheels on the spot.
One nice feature; the New Holland seat pivots to 45 degrees. That would likely make reverse driving, as is required with a rear snow blower, less of a pain.
In the end, the Kubota seemed more substantial and less toy-like.
The most surpising discovery was that the Kubota is also the least expensive alternative in my area. I started my research assuming that Kubota is most expensive.
The tractor itself with foldable ROPS was Cdn 19200 or about US 12,800. R-4's were an extra Cdn 400.
The JD 4300 was about Cdn 23,000, a Massey Ferguson 1235 was about Cdn 24,000 ???. I was told that the New Holland would also be a few thousand more but I never asked for a quote.
I started my research assuming that the JD 4300 would be my ultimate choice and it was their sale to loose. This board realy opened up my eyes.
Thanks again!
