Thinking about buying a used JD455 Diesel. Are they a good tractor? Any problems that I should be looking for? Less than a 1000 hours on it. Nice shape.
Thanks for any help that you can give!
 
Very low hour machine. Mine has 3300 hours. Is it a all wheel steer? Great garden tractor. I have replaced over the years implement lift cylinder, mower deck gear box(my fault), steering tie rods (twice), and the steering shaft and steering valve(what a job!). The engine is bullet proof. I use the John Deere maintenance kit every year. I also replaced the reverse pedal with aftermarket giving it more speed in reverse. You can't go wrong if your satisfied with the price.

I've had one for 8-9 years bought used. Really nice machine. I did manage to break the differential using the loader. But mine is an early model, the later ones have an improved axle and spider set.
 
I do not have a 455, but I do have a 425 all wheel steer. I have been around the Yanmar diesel engines and they are a very good engine. You could not go wrong with that series tractor. I love mine!
