Just received my CD for John Deere Manual TM1291 and maybe I missed it but where is the rear crossbar / sprocket adjustment section ?
Thanks, Frank

It's about time for me to purchase the repair manual so instead I purchased the repair manual on CD. It will be here next week.

I searched online and cannot find the adjustment procedure. Could someone post the directions or the correct way to do it? Since I have to go out of town for business I'll probably order the shims so I'll have them when I get back.

I've been ignoring a 4 year old problem on my John Deere 455D . How do I adjust the rear crossbar ? On both the left and right side sprockets, the inside of both sprockets is hitting against the inside edge of the track roller. In my parts manual I noticed that the brackets ( AT52179 on the left and...

Hey Cuttingedge, do you go to Bridgton, Maine? I might have some lot clearing work for you. Where are you located?

I have a 1984 455D with about 7500 hours. It was totally rebuilt at 7000 hours about 10 years ago and marginally used since then. The machine starts right up with no starting fluid on the coldest day in the Maine winter. I use it to plow snow and fill potholes in my driveway. Pins are 90 plus %. Run...

I have a 1984 John Deere 455d. It was mentioned that in a HLR trany that if it was ran properly that it shouldn't be the clutch. I use my clutch all the time. I always step on the clutch, come to a complete stop before changing direction and let the clutch out. Just like I was driving a standard shi...

I have a similar question in that can I use full synthetic oil in my 1984 John Deere 455D crawler loader? And would I use 15w-40 for year round use..Thanks, Frank

As far as the existing fluid in the lines, I first collapsed all the cylinders and didn't worry about it. The amount in the lines VS the holding tanks is minimal.................Also, Change all the filters !!!!!!!! And for argument sake.......I always use all John Deere products...............That ...

I thought about the same thing when I decided to change all the fluids in my John Deere 455D crawler loader. I had leftover staging planks which I set 2 on each side and drove the machine onto which raised it up about 5 inches. I then set a cheap plastic reinforced tarp under the center section . I ...
