  1. Lawn & Garden Tractors
    Good morning I have an 04 x495 diesel The instrument cluster stopped working. well, the fuel gauge, temp. gauge and hour meter I have the cluster removed and the board out. There are a couple of cooked resistors on the board. Does anyone have a schematic? Or know the values of R3 and R4?

    Forgive the post if it has already been answered. A search yielded 475 pages of potential answers. Can I add something to diesel fuel IN my JD tractor (here in Maine) that may still be a summer mix to avoid problems?
  3. Lawn & Garden Tractors
    Hi all. I’ve stumbled across an X758. I’ve always wanted one, but the prices of them have steered me away… until now. I’ve had a couple 455s, all great tractors, with under 2000 hrs. But this X758, has 4700 hours. And my question is.. is this too much? By looking at the tractor it looks like it...
  4. Lawn & Garden Tractors
    I've owned a 455 for a long time, and just recently my bearing on my water pump failed. I replaced the water pump, but when I put the shroud and radiator back on, I got some heavy contact between the fan and the shroud. I noted that the fan blades were already a little worn down from what looks...

    What would cause a diesel to intermittently smoke blue? I've got a 997 with 1500 hours on the clock. 99% of the time, the mower runs and operates as it should. However, 1-3 times each time it's used to mow the lawn, it will act like it's bogging down or even die completely. When this...

    The diesel engine on the 2030 I have is hard to start when cold. Even on a fairly warm spring day (e.g. mid-60s) I have trouble getting it started. The starter just cranks away with black smoke coming from the stack. If I plug in the coolant heater (basically draws power like our stock tank...

    To make a long story really short, my 2005 x495 that I purchased used a few months ago ended up needing a new transmission as the differential side just literally came apart. I was able to find a new casing with all of the internals on eBay that was a pull from a x748. Both are K92's but my x495...

    I have a diesel 997 with 400hrs on it. When starting it for the first time this season it mowed great for about 20m then shut off. It will start again but takes a minute likes it was ran out of fuel. Then shut off after 15m, then 10 etc.. every cycle it gets shorter until it won’t start at all...
  9. Vintage Lawn & Garden Tractors
    Hello all, I have acquired a John Deere 332 from my father that has passed away. It does run well but the starter has always been an issue. I decided I have had enough and have started working on the machine. We’ve removed the starter and found the solenoid to be faulty. I was searching eBay and...

    Hi all, I bought a brand new 2020 865R model diesel Gator with the HVAC cab and absolutely love it! BUT, it runs rough (about 500-650 rpms) for a minute when cold starting, to the point of stalling a few times before it will even run when it's below 15 degrees. It eventually levels off and...

    We just purchased a used 1600 turbo lawn tractor. It runs fine, drives fine, but as soon as the blades engage it's like it can't handle the load. I've tried cutting thin, dry grass and the engine sounds like it's under huge stress. We've tried testing the turbo and that appears to be working...

    Hi all, I'm new :) Our diesel mower doesn't start and makes a clicking noise. Battery is good. Starter solenoid is getting 1V signal when starting. Does that mean a bad relay and does anyone know where the starter relay is on this one? Thanks! 🤞
  13. Restoration
    I have a 1987 JD 330 diesel Lawn & Garden Tractor that runs good with a new blades and a belt. I have used it for two seasons for mowing around my trees. I have the hood and side panels but one of the hood mounts has a crack but could be repaired. The grill is missing and also the two small side...

    This is a last resort: I bought an X-758 4WD diesel mower 4 years ago at the end of the mowing season. No problems with the first 1-2 times I used it. In the spring I started mowing but the motor would overheat and shut down the cutting deck. Short story is, 5-6 trips to the dealer,over the...

    I purchased the XUV865M in October, and it arrived mid-Jan. It took quite a bit of time for it to be built. I bought this directly from John Deere. After a few months and about 50 hours, I have some observations. 1. The 865 is significantly underpowered. From what I understand, some EPA issues...
  16. For Sale
    This is a water cooled Yanmar 3 cylinder Diesel engine out of a John Deere Gator 6x4. This engine runs strong! Fresh oil, oil filter and air filter; so it's ready for several hundred hours without maintenance. I am shipping with the glow plug and ignition switches so it just needs a battery...

    Due to divorce, must sell my tractor. I bought it new in January of 2015 from Shearer Equipment. Has 61 hours on it now, will go up slightly for mowing. All accessories included. Runs great, operates as new, no problems or issues, hate to sell it but must go. Asking $14,900/offer. Located...

    (Ad written by my grandfather, just needs help selling it) "Hello all, I have a rare and collectible John Deere tractor. Model 435, made with a GM Detroit Diesel motor (only used two years ('59-'60)). There were only 6,000 ever made, and this is a true survivor. This one needs nothing done to...

    Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and ultimately new to John Deere tractors in general. I have done my fair share of tractor engine rebuilds as well as diesel engine work (Cummigs mostly). I am no newbie to the diesel world but have not yet had the chance to work with a Deere!! Well not a...
