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.

John Deere 655–955 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
John Deere 655/755/855/955 hydraulic lift won't hold load, bucket droops under loader use
Check the hydraulic troubleshooting chart on page 532 for lift failures. Pull the metal screen filter behind the drain plug and inspect for debris; a clogged screen starves the relief valve of flow. If pressure won't hold, remove the relief valve plug, inspect the shim stack, then torque the plug to 44 N·m (33 lb-ft) on reassembly.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Troubleshooting Chart p. 532Loader lacks lift power and tractor feels underpowered during FEL operations on hydrostatic-drive models
Verify engine speed reaches the rated 3200 rpm on page 17 under load; low power often traces to the hydrostatic transmission diverting horsepower to the wheels before flow reaches the loader pump, a known trait versus gear-drive siblings. Run the power train drive test to rule out charge pump wear, then top hydraulic fluid to 4.5 gal (17 L) per page 19.
Manual Section: Power Train Drive TestRockshaft cannot reach dead-head unload position or bucket won't fully unload on the loader
Check the control valve linkage before condemning the valve. If the arms bottom out before the valve pushes fully in, the turnbuckle is too short. Loosen the jam nut and lengthen the turnbuckle 4 to 6 flats per the adjustment on page 334, then retorque the lift arm-to-rockshaft connection to 52 N·m (38 lb-ft) and recheck travel.
Manual Section: Hydraulics p. 334Tires and wheel bolt patterns are odd-sized and difficult to source for replacement
Measure the rim bolt circle and offset directly off the machine before ordering tires, since these odd-size wheels are frequently misquoted online. Torque the rear wheel lug bolts to 115 N·m (85 lb-ft) on page 106 in a star pattern when reinstalling, then recheck torque after the first 10 hours of operation.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Transmission p. 106Engine won't start or turns over slowly in cold weather despite good battery
Check the engine diagnosis troubleshooting procedures on page 394 for no-start conditions first. Inspect the electrical system for preheat and starter circuit faults, common cold-weather culprits, then verify battery terminals are clean and tight. Once it fires, confirm engine speed reaches the rated 3200 rpm on page 17, ruling out a governor or fuel restriction.
Manual Section: Eng/Fuel Operation and Tests p. 394Frequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended engine oil types and viscosities for North America?
For North America, the preferred engine oils are John Deere PLUS–50® SAE 15W-40 and TORQ–GARD SUPREME® SAE 5W-30. The appropriate oil viscosity should be selected based on the expected air temperature range during the period between oil changes to prevent premature engine failure. p. 27
What is the engine oil capacity (with filter) for different tractor models?
The engine oil capacity (with filter) varies by model: 2.5 U.S. qt. (2.4 L) for the 655, 2.86 U.S. qt. (2.7 L) for the 755/756, 4.1 U.S. qt. (3.9 L) for the 855/856, and 4.4 U.S. qt. (4.2 L) for the 955 compact utility tractors. p. 19
What is the service interval for engine valve adjustment?
The recommended service interval for engine valve adjustment is 300 hours for all models (655, 755/756, 855/856, 955). p. 19
What is the torque value for Class 10.9 M10 dry metric fasteners?
For Class 10.9 M10 dry metric fasteners, the torque value is 80 N•m (60 lb-ft). These are general values, and specific applications may have different torque requirements. p. 21
What is the hydraulic oil capacity for the hydrostatic transmission and hydraulic system?
The capacity for the hydrostatic transmission and hydraulic system is 4.5 U.S. gallons (17 L) for all models (655, 755/756, 855/856, 955). p. 19
