True, well they did build some reliable and durable tractors, 955 series was one. There was a 955 locally on CL for awhile, no R.O.P.S. but it looked worth investigating, tracks looked good in the photos, but you would have to inspect/measure etc. It was under 10k, though, forget what they were asking, looked decent.
The 850 I ran performed well, but the hydrostatic drive in it was different than anything I ran previously. I was on job with it 40 miles west of here and had hauled it in on a state road through the mountains over there, went out the back side and to the NYS thruway to catch I-88 off Rt 30, got on the thruway over width, but when at the toll, I had to get an overwidth permit, toll collector issued one for $20, this was in 1990, never forget that guy, cigar in his mouth and he got a chuckle out of the company name on the uniform, "Moon Construction" he said, "Don't moon me" I thought I was in big trouble, but wanted to avoid those long hills and really tight turns with this JD 850 on the trailer. Worked out and got it back to the yard, handed my receipts in to get reimbursed.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
