    Learning how to drive with a trailer..

    As others have said, the key is practice. A couple thing to address, before you tow a trailer. If you don't have a receiver on the truck, get one and a brake controller (not sure what the tow package you have includes). You need a hitch that works with your trailer (the drop should be...

    1526 cranks but will not fire

    Yeah, they said it was very hot, so this could be it... we'll see what happens

    1526 cranks but will not fire

    They picked it up and were going to submit it to warranty. No bill, so far. The dealerships as about 3 miles from my house and I usually just drive it.

    1526 cranks but will not fire

    My dealer didn't have the solenoid in stock (and the grass is growing), so I found one at another dealer and dropped it off yesterday. The tractor showed up in the driveway today (good thing, because I borrowed my old 755 to finish cutting last week and I couldn't do that again)

    1526 cranks but will not fire

    It's the overpriced ($250.00) fuel cutoff solenoid. I'm waiting for the dealer to install it, now

    1526 cranks but will not fire

    I stopped cutting and as I lowered the throttle the engine dies and it will not restart. Cranks fine. Battery is fully charged. Never ran low on fuel and topped off 30 minutes before. All fuses good. Oil level good. Coolant level good. 283 hours. I tried to replace the fuel filter, but the...

    Diverter Valve

    Has anyone put a diverter valve on the FEL curl circuit on a 1526? (I'm not really looking at a third function... just a diverter to switch the curl function to angle for a Skid Steer Quick Attach snow plow). Thanks!

    1526 Trans oil Drain Plug Location

    I'm doing my 50 hour service and I'm stumped... Does anybody have a pic they can share of the drain points for the Transmission? (I found the two on the rear differential, but the one "below the mid-PTO gearbox eludes me). This manual is very frustrating. I already realized that the trans...

    Switching from Green to Red

    After 34 years with John Deere (and the last 24 on a 755), I'm switching to a Massey Ferguson 1526. It seemed like a no brainer... better specs, better price, better financing and the dealership is literally around the corner from me (I almost bought a Massey when I bought the 755, but I stayed...

    755 gremlins

    My 755 seems to be possessed by gremlins (not the AMC variety). Problem #1 - The Temp Warning light comes on after running the tractor. I don't think it's electrical, because it does seem really hot. So far I've checked the screen, which was clean, but the sky erupted, so I'll need to pick up...

    755 Headlight fuse keeps blowing

    The 25A Headlight Fuse keeps blowing (previously it would only blow when it was running, but I fixed that... now it blows as soon as I turn on the lights). I disconnected the switch and put a test light on each contact. The Yellow-White wire showed a ground, but that should be the feed from...
