Ever own a tractor you can't part with

[Ductape]

Hard to argue with keeping the 755. For whatever reason, JD just plain 'got it right' with the 55 series tractors........ reliability, looks, etc. I've got to admit, I have a 55 fetish. Who knows, I may still own one some day.

I've toyed with the idea of parting with my JD 4300, but cannot do it. Does everything that I ask of it, and more.
Same with my 455 and 425.

Great to be happy with what one has in the barn.

I can't say I am completely happy with what is in the barn LOL. I could always make room for another tractor as long as I don't have to get rid of one to do so.

Yep, I don't think I could part with my BX25...:thumbsup:

I went over to pick up my 755 yesterday and they had it sitting out for me when I got there. There was a guy there looking at it thinking it was for sale. I told him he would have to pry it from my dead fingers. He said his neighbor has one that he will not part with either and that is what he is wanting. I told him where I knew of one that was for sale but mine was not. I got it home yesterday and used it for a couple of odd jobs around here, sure felt good to have it back. Wife and kids we might be able to work out a deal on. Dog and tractors don't ask. LOL.

Couple years ago I had my 755 back at the dealer for the first time since I bought it in 1993, for a water pump replacement. Amazing how many of the people there were telling me "wish I had that", or "would you sell it", or "what a great looking machine", or "those were the best". Does make you feel good about your tractor. Glad you have yours back.

I feel the same way about my 755, I think like a 57 Chevy the X55 series has classic JD lines. They're easy to work on, They have tons of grease fittings, Like any good piece of equipment should. Just a plain well engineered piece of machinery. Ok I'm getting carried away, But I love my 755 !

I only wish I could find a good used cab for it. Curtis doesn't make them anymore and the ones I do find they want 6 grand for. Anybody know of one ?
