Throttle on my 420 keeps moving itself down

I just bought my second 455. I didn't need another tractor, but it came with a 3 point, rear PTO, 450 tiller, JD scraper blade, and a 4 way front blade. This tractor is a 96 and my 1st 455 is a 95 model. I want to swap the hitch and rear PTO from the 96 over to the 95. Can someone send me installation/removal instructions? After I remove the 96 hardware, I will have a 455 for sale.. . Thanks in advance.

Hey Chad,

It would probably be as easy to swap the two complete transmissions. JD still sells the rear PTO kit for around $880, but they do not sell any individual parts. I checked with my parts guy and he said I was correct! If you need to replace a part in the rear PTO, you cannot get one. I checked TM1517 and it does have information on the removal and installation of the rear 540 PTO.

Chad - I have the brand new (NOS) wiring harness for the 93-95 (if you need it) listed in the classified ads . But first , Being as how the transition occurred around that time (95-96) , check to B sure your ninety-five doesn't have the newer wiring change . Best way to know is : if it has the pto module installed at dash , and has the jumper wire connector at the front inside frame of left rear wheel for two wire plugs going to the rear pto itself . The old style did not have the separate module , and there was no break in the wiring inside the frame just forward of the left rear wheel . Some 95s can have the new style wiring , from what I read . Some may not ; but its all about the serial no.s. as follows : basically anything over 30,000 serial no should be new style with two plug connector at forward inside frame of r/r wheel , and will have the rear pto module (black plastic box) in place in right side dash pedestal just under the voltage regulator . The old Up < 30K serial no wont have this module . Its built into the old wiring harness .

Like I say..., I have one if you want/need it . They are obsolete now thru Deere .

Old style <30K serial no . The big bulge you see in the harness has the circuitry that the newer style module replaced .





NLA , but I have a 93' and rear pto kit to install , so found two of these . I could maybe spare one . Or you can buy the retro-fit wiring harness # am-121071 at 160 dollars + tax , and
module am-120840 at 65.oo + tax from deere .

Here is how Deere made the new 96 and up rear pto Kit Back-wards compatible (at your expense) = around 225 bucks to make a < 30K tractor work without the original obsolete harness I have . Either way gets you the same end result . Same thing , only different ..., I say .

Ps. All hard parts are basically the same , with only a couple non-noteworthy revisions here and there through-out the years .

You're right ! L0L .
