I'd be interested in your balancing trick in any case. I can't imagine adding a 1/4" of material to each tip would change much on a fan of this weight, but would try to do the best job in any case.<br>
Thanks<br>
Just was able to measure and need to correct, I have 1/4" gap, the fan doesn't look to bad, maybe there was never a much closer fit.

Joel-
Just to say I very much appreciate your detailed answers. Even if I do not have the particular question. As you say, learning something new is well worthwhile.
Thanks

DRankin, I believe you are correct, I was using the loader to push back snow yesterday and noted the smell was strongest after retracting cylinders.
Thanks for the info.

I was lucky enough to find a 47" snowblower for the front of my JD 755. I am considering if I should look into fabricating some casters or wheels as I am going to use it on a dirt drive and worse a old tar drive with a bad crown.
Anyone have experience?
Thanks

Just to follow up, I took the fitting to the store and they matched it. Don't know the "Type" but it is as Frank said, straight threads with a O ring seal. The odd part,its a standard fitting-on a metric JD/Yanmar. Thanks for the help.

This was a project I had been trying to get to since I read about "shimming" the relief valve here in 4/2004.I had planned on raising the pressure 10% over specs. Imagine my surprise that the pressure is 20% over specs now.
This leads to other Questions- I just changed the hydraulic fluid to Kubota K40105 super UDT instead of lo/vis Hy Gard could this have somehow raised the pressure?
I Found some fine metal on the screen and in the sump. how much is normal? Tractor has around 1300 hours.
Sorry for the long post and Thanks.

Frank, Just to note - I have a 755, I believe all "55" series are hydrostatic.

Dennis, I thought to track the thread I wanted (after 2 days) by looking at my past posts. After finding it (#82229) Just to see, I tried searches of all possibility's cutting and pasting the title with O results.

If you go to JDparts you can look up parts breakdown of your your mower. It shows the bolt as a cap screw and does not say left hand thread.From the picture, blade direction indicates to me it would be a standard thread.
Good luck

Just wondering how your retirement wood shop worked out?<br>
Did you manage to keep the "real" equipment? Three phase and all? I'm a custom woodworker in MASS. Very tough times here.

Thanks for the replies, there are no cables just open linkage. 15 to 20 degrees is considered cold here. I have the sense that it is not the linkage that is dragging, it seems free enough. I think the place to start is the springs as suggested, maybe the original springs are just tired.

I have a 755, the manual covers 755,855,955.
From what you said about the knob by your left foot,(in the center?) that knob/crank is for the mower deck. I have not used this yet so can't give you a run down on it's operation. The control knob/valve for the 3pt is under the seat on drivers left side. Operates as explained above.If you need something out of the operators or shop manual, just ask.
Good luck

You can find left hand bits and pretty much anything else here http://www.mcmaster.com/
I think I would try just drilling the heads off(with right hand bit)then prying the boards off as suggested.
I believe "cobalt" bits will hold up better in stainless.

Drankin, very timely comment on hy-gard oil. I was just going to ask what is the part # for low viscosity hy-gard. I just recieved some in a parts order, #ty6354, purple label, does not say on lable if low viscosity. Dealer sent it, as I could not find any listing on the JD Parts web site.
Thanks

As Candoarms suggested, I had thought a snowblower (and of course a larger tractor) might allow some small return, used in a casual way locally. When I thought to ask my insurance agent about liability coverage and registering for "over the road", was told "commercial policy" 2K plus! What do others do?
