755 went down on me

[deere755]

after 3400 hours of use, she is going to cost me some money. It developed a fuel leak where the fuel lines come out of the pump and go to the injectors. I fixed the leak and she would only run on 2 cylinders. I took the line loose on the number 3 line and it was getting fuel but it did not change the way it was running. Then I loosened the number one cylinder line and it ran worse. I talked to my deere mechanic and he said it was either an injector or a bad piston. He seems confadent that it is an injector. I hope he is right. I am thinking maybe it needs a new home as it is starting to nickel and dime me to death but I hate to trade since we bought the 4700 this spring.

Three new injectors are cheap...my money is on the injector also.

Agreed...also....if you got a good diesel "pump shop" around, you could probably have your 3 injectors rebuilt for the price of one new one...

What would a new injector run for my 755?

My deere mechanic called today and said they found a broken spring on top the injector I believe. He said that it could be just a broken spring but would not know until they got the new one.
