Any idea what could be causing the no-start for this diesel engine? I tried to start the 455 after using a leaf blower to clean off the engine and it engine didn't start. Maybe I dislodged a wire?? I checked the battery and it tested at 12.5 volts. I have noticed the following: --the glow...

I've found that the fuel shutoff solenoid doesn't always pull-in when I turn the key and, therefore, it doesn't start. I've attached a few pictures of the fuel shutoff solenoid. This is before I cleaned it up but there really wasn't much to clean from it. Do I lubricate anything before I...

I have a 455 (with a 60" deck) and an x758 (with a 60" HC deck). I can't seem to find any documentation to help me determine if I can use the same blades on both mowers. Also, do they make hi-lift blades for 60" decks? I can't find them for sale. thanks

Anyone familiar with the only JD parts catalog? I was looking at: John Deere Parts Catalog and was trying to figure out the part number that item 11 (AM128925) connects to. If it is item 37 any idea why there isn't a corresponding 37 in the item descriptions? thanks

I am trying to replace AM128925 (Brake Safety Switch) on a 455. It is riveted on. Any idea why Deere would use rivets instead of a bolt?:confused: I will need to remove the footrest to get access to the brake safety switch. This diagram: John Deere Parts Catalog looks a bit different than my...

I have this problem more and more frequently. I'd say that about 3 out of 5 times that I try to start the 455 it just cranks and cranks but doesn't start. Sometimes it does this after it has been running for a while and I turn if off then try to restart and other times it won't start when it's...

Did you buy yours from a JD dealer or a private seller? I bought my 455 from a private seller and my x720 (which I have since sold) from a private seller. I've never bought used from a Deere dealer.

Any idea why there is about $2000 difference in price between the 2016 Polaris Ranger 570 XP versus 2016 Polaris Ranger 570 full-size? What makes the 2016 Polaris Ranger 570 XP worth/cost that much more? Thanks

Has anyone installed an aftermarket electronic power steering kit on their Ranger? Did it do what it was supposed to? Thanks

I am going to have headaches if I purchase this? It fits my budget but I hear that people have problems with them. It's somewhat scary that this only has a 6 months warranty. Should I save a few thousand more dollars and buy something different/better next year? Thanks.

I thought that all 2016 x750s had drive over decks (that's what I've seen and that's what two local dealers told me). But I've seen a few 2016 x750s that don't have the drive over decks and the sellers told me that this was the deck that came with the mower. Those decks were 62". I built an...

Hi. I have a 70' x 40' x 16' (ceiling height) metal building. The 2"x6" studs are 8' on center. The floor is concrete. I would like to insulate the building so I can heat it to about 60 degrees on a cold (10 degrees) Iowa winter day. I have priced spray foam and it is higher than what I would...

When I lower my deck the anti-scalp wheels firmly press the concrete in my shed. I know that the wheels are not supposed to touch the surface. The blade height is 2" and I'd like to get it closer to 2.5" But when I adust the depth stop control, the blade doesn't get any higher. What are the...

I have a John Deere 455 with a 60 inch deck. I'm trying to find the quickest way to remove the deck and connect to a different attachment (snow blower or power broom, for example). I was wondering if there is a way to build a ramp so I can drive over the deck after I release it from the mower...

Hello. I have read that spike aerator and spreader combos are available but what about PLUG aerator and spreader combination attachments. Are they out there? Thanks.

Am I allowed to ask questions about a John Deere 455 mower or is too small :o for this message board? If it's okay, I was thinking about getting a box blade for my 455 and was wondering if anyone has used this combo? Considering that I won't have any down pressure for the box blade will I be...
