Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This 570-page John Deere Compact Utility Tractor Technical Manual (OEM #TM1360) covers the 655, 755, 855, 955, 756, and 856 in one factory reference, so you're not hunting three different books to service your fleet. Open it up and you get full wiring diagrams for the electrical system, hydraulic schematics covering the hydrostatic transmission and rockshaft, plus a dedicated troubleshooting section for when the tractor won't do what it's supposed to. Set the relief valve spring free length to 50.7 mm and tighten SCV cap screws to 25 N-m, exactly as Deere's engineers specified, not a forum estimate. Your hydraulic system is down and every hour of guessing costs you real money. This one has bookmarked sections so you jump straight from Fuel and Air Repair to Steering and Brake Operation without flipping through 200 pages, right there on your tablet in the shop.
