Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
Need the factory service data for your John Deere 2355? This 839-page John Deere 2355 technical manual PDF (OEM TM4434) also covers the 2555, 2755, and 2855N tractors, from engine and clutch through power train, steering, hydraulics, and the Sound-Gard cab. Inside: wiring harness diagrams for every serial number break, hydraulic schematics, a dedicated troubleshooting section, and torque tables for hardware across all systems. You get step-by-step teardown and rebuild procedures for the clutch, Hi-Lo shift unit, hydrostatic steering, and hydraulic pumps. Set hydraulic stand-by pressure to 16000 kPa (2320 psi) and hold pump shaft end play between 0.1 and 0.9 mm before you button it up. No more chasing wiring faults with a multimeter and a prayer. Bookmarked by section; load it on any device and take it straight to the shop floor.

John Deere 2355, 2555, 2755, 2855N Common Problems This Manual Covers
John Deere 2355 control valve spraying oil mist under pressure, hydraulics losing power
Replace the O-rings in the control valve spools; Deere upgraded these after the originals disintegrated under pressure. Remove each spool, clean the bores, and install the updated seal kit. After reassembly, test stand-by pressure against the 16000 kPa (160 bar; 2320 psi) spec on page 639 and recheck for misting at full relief.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 639Hydraulic oil leaking near transmission split on right side, puddle forming under shift cover
Inspect the steel pipe running from the shift cover to the transmission split, bottom right side; these wear through against the case. Replace the pipe, then refill and recheck the transmission-hydraulic oil level. If the leak source is unclear, trace the circuit on the hydraulic schematic, then confirm the system holds 16000 kPa (160 bar) after repair.
Manual Section: Power TrainEngine cranks slowly or will not turn over at all, especially on cold mornings
Check battery terminals for corrosion, then clean and tighten the clamps. Load-test the battery; never charge a frozen one, warm it to 16°C (60°F) first per the safety note on page 6. If the battery passes, test voltage drop across the starter circuit and inspect the starting motor and neutral start system in the Electrical System section on page 232.
Manual Section: Electrical System p. 232Three-point hitch lifts slowly and remote valves feel weak, implements creep down under load
Check transmission-hydraulic oil level and top up before anything else, then replace the hydraulic filter, a common cause of sluggish response. If performance stays weak, pull the hydraulic pump and measure shaft end play; without through drive the spec is 0.1 to 0.9 mm (0.004 to 0.035 in.) on page 639. Replace worn thrust washers while the pump is apart.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System p. 639Steering wheel feels loose with excessive free play, front end wanders at road speed
Torque the steering wheel hex nut to 70 Nm (50 ft-lb) per page 593 before condemning anything else. If play remains, verify hydraulic oil level, then inspect the hydrostatic steering metering unit and double-acting shock valves covered in the Steering System and Brakes section starting on page 564. Replace worn metering unit parts as a set.
Manual Section: Steering System and Brakes p. 593Frequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended service intervals?
Service intervals vary by component. For instance, engine oil should be changed every 100 hours, while transmission/hydraulic oil has a service interval of every 1200 hours. Lubricating points should be checked predelivery and every 50 hours. p. 82
What fluids and capacities does this machine require?
The fuel tank capacity is 84.0 liters (22.2 U.S. gal.), and the auxiliary tank holds 52.0 liters (13.7 U.S. gal.). The engine crankcase requires 10.5 liters (2.8 U.S. gal.) of oil, and the cooling system without a SOUND-GARD Body needs 13.0 liters (3.4 U.S. gal.) of coolant. Brake fluid should be DOT4. p. 26
