Recently Acquired John Deere 455 Diesel. 

I recently became in the market for another John Deere lawn tractor with a front mounted snowblower. I currently have a John Deere 425 with a front mounted snowblower however, it's very temperamental on starting in the spring and winter season for blowing snow or removing stones from the grass. I have a John Deere 445 all wheel steer that is strictly used for cutting lawn. so I decided to look for another John Deere, except I wanted the 455 diesel for blowing snow and brushing the stones in the spring. it was even more crucial since recently my 1977 owatonna 330 Mustang skid steer suddenly has a stuck valve or broken cam. my brother who's a diesel mechanic had advised me to get rid of it. so I came across this John Deere 455 with the three cylinder Yanmar diesel with a little over 1600 hours on it. it's got a new starter, new alternator, new glow plugs, and a new battery. I'm good to go.
