Wow! Talk about something that's been rode hard! I too have never seen a blade like that.

And that poor machine. Saddens me when I see something that's been that neglected. Hard to believe it has given that many years of service given it's appearance. I'd love to have one of those myself, but I'd run away from that if it were on the auction block. Hahahaha

To Dean VP,



I am the ‘operator’ of a Deere 455 at work. Which also means I’m the mechanic. Because of your uploading of the manual on such machines on the associated JD page on Faceplant I now have access to info I would have had to wing it through. Heck, it’s almost an antique, a 1999. I love that poor abused machine. I want to take it home badly. It fires right up ever single time, even tho the starter is a wire to the battery that has to be touched to the post to get it to crank. But varoom and it’s off and running. That and replacing the 21 year old mower blades, now it actually mows. They literally tossed a rear blade and a drag before I could salvage them. More money then sense and a need to ‘clean’ things up.

Again, thanks for that upload. A wealth of information.



Brad
