Since mine is a 94, like the other fellow's, thought I'd post a pic of what I put together. 94 855 with the 70A loader $8700 with little over 1000 hrs garage kept since new. 72" MMM for $800 also garage kept really nice. Changed all fluids/filters, new frt tires, new seat and set of blades...

Looking for ideas on the best way to sell mine. I've had it about 30 years and restored it when I got it. It's still really nice and I'd still be using it but I bought a newer JD compact. I have it on Craigs at $2500 but no action. Thanks

I recently learned of this and have been searching / reading. I have a LX178 bought new in 1994. It still runs like the day I bought it. This has a Kawasaki but a vertical shaft 15hp model. It seems the only failures I read about are on the 425,455 horizontal shaft engines. Should I be...

My new to me 855 is going to need front tires. The original R1s are on it and pretty well dry rotted. I see a lot of these with what appears to be a skid steer tire. I did a lot of searching which gets confusing. I see some using a 23x8.5x12. Would this be compatible with the OE rears? In...

Hoping for a quick answer. I'm heading out to pick up an 855 in an hour. The guy has a 60" deck that needs work, pulleys are rusted for one. He claims that's all it needs and some paint. I didn't really want it but he says he'll leave it on for $100. Is it worth rebuilding? Thanks for all...

If all goes well I will be bringing home an 855 tomorrow with a FEL and the Ag tires. Couple questions. I have a Woods RM306 I want to use. It's the old style with the check chains and big pulley in the middle..no gearbox. Any issues using it? Also, I want to get a 3pt tiller. What size...

Sorry for all the dumb questions as a newbie. I have been considering several 955/855 tractors I have found listed. One is a 955 with loader that has 1300 hrs and was used for loader work and landscape type stuff with a box blade. The other is a 855 with a loader and 60" belly that has 2100...

I tried a search and specs I found give different track measurements. I'm looking to buy either an 855 or 955 4wd tractor. I have an open car trailer and wondering if the front tires are wide enough to sit on the ramps. The center is open with 38.5 inches between the ramps. I don't want to...

Just started looking for a replacement for my old Ferguson. I've pretty much decided on either a 955 or 855. I'd like a front loader and preferably a 72" belly mower. What I'm seeing advertised seems in the 9-10 thousand range. What is a good price? Is a tractor with 2000 hrs something to...

I have an old TO30 Ferguson and just started looking to upgrade to a newer tractor. Hope to get some good info here. thanks
