    John Deere 855 - will my 70 Loader fit?

    Hello All - been coming to this forum for some time to find answers but this has me stumped. I own a 1992 755 with model 70 loader. I recently found a great deal on a 1994 855 4x4 with no loader. According to the serial numbers, the 70 loader should fit on the tractor, but it is too short to...

    Where to find hydraulic cylinders for my John Deere 70 loader on my 790.

    Anyone know where I can find hydraulic cylinders for my John Deere 70 loader on my 790, as the dealer wants $1200 per each, and there are 4. I tried rebuilding them with the kit, but it has dents and scratches on the tubes, so they just break the seals and leak.

    John Deere 70 back up and running.

    Taper-lock flywheel for a 1956 John Deere 70

    I am looking for a place in Canada preferably close to British Columbia that can machine a taper-lock into my flywheel or sell me a one ready to go with a taper-lock already istalled. I have found plases in the USA but shipping and customs makes it cost prohibitive.

    john Deere 70

    Okay I feel very stupid about this. Where is the oil dip stick on the 70? Before winter I want to change all fluids but having trouble finding it. Or is it one of those fill holes you fill till it runs out ? Last what weight oil ? It's a 1954. Thanks

    A John Deere 70 series tractor

    I was mowing grass and chopping up leaves today. I like this tractor, it only has 18 hp, but it does everything I want. The 55 & 70 series are great tractors. One of my goals for this tractor is to get narrower R1 rear tires and then get a 3 pt. one bottom plow for it. Then I'll have another...

    What is the major difference in the 2 planters? Do both have different population settings? Do they use the same plates as the 494's do? I am thinking about buying a 70 model. I would like to be able to change planting populations and have settings I can trust. My 494 is just guess work, I have...
