Bought another 445 and like my last one needs a lot of TLC to get it back to its former glory. Maybe it should list the trouble spots and go from there? 1. Runs rough, or surges, unless at full throttle. The plugs were nasty and caked with soot so i put new plugs in with no discernable...

I just bought another 445 so I could use one for mowing and have the loader on the other one for doing other work. I put my deck on the new 445 (which was supposed to be a 2001, but is really a 1994 according to the serial) only to find that the deck doesn't raise and lower only about an inch or...

My 445 has always ran hotter than I'd like but whenever the gauge got up to the red the thermostat would seemingly open up because the gauge would drop back to around halfway and start climbing again. The last time I had it out I noticed the center light started blinking. Its one long followed...

Bought a 445 back in May and have been upgrading and fixing things ever since. The latest acquisition was a JD 40 loader for it. I have found and fixed so many cob jobs done to this poor tractor that I can't count, but I thought hooking up the loader should be a piece of cake. Well, when I...

I've purchased a used PTO kit for my 1994 445 and I can't seem to connect it up to my harness without this mysterious AM121071 Wire Harness and I cannot find one anywhere! I've found wiring harnesses from newer 445's and wonder if that will solve my problems or will I then need that jumper wire...

Recently bought my first John Deere, an older 445 with a 54" deck. Been looking at them for years, drooling, and finally bit the bullet and bought it! Love it so far, but have found less parts available for it than I expected. Alas, that's to be expected when the tractor was made in 1994, I...

I bought a 540 rear pto kit for my 445 and the outer cases are damaged. I bought a new inner cover and am trying to take the outer cover off from the damaged inner cover and it won't come apart. To make matters worse, some of the gears fell out while I was trying to gently pull the two covers...
