CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT CRAWLER LOADERS MODEL NO.
Introducing two good machines made great: the 655C and 755C Series II. These newand-improved loaders feature significant, contractor-driven enhancements including an optimized power management system, more responsive steering, an increased low speed range, and several design changes to enhance operator comfort and convenience. All of this added to an already popular pair of hydrostatic loaders known for impressive breakout force, tipping load capacities, and unsurpassed maneuverability. Read on for details.

CRAWLER LOADERS DRIVETRAIN Multi-tasking made easier We’ve enhanced hydraulic response for faster boom, bucket cycle times, and improved metering during fine grading. For more than 25 years, full-featured hydrostatic drivetrains have provided John Deere crawler owners with unsurpassed operating ease and flexibility. Now with our new optimized power management system, you’ll feel more power when you need it, and an overall better engine/tranmission performance match.
Just set maximum desired ground speed and the crawler does the rest. As the loads change, the drivetrain responds, automatically powering up or down to maintain peak engine rpm and efficiency. Low-speed working range was increased to 4 mph to allow most performance needs to be met in one speed setting for faster cycle times. Innovative control system keeps these loaders tracking straight in either direction or on level ground or steep slopes. Delivers smooth, predictable turns under full load, too.
Room with a view Spacious walk-through air-conditioned cab is standard. Visibility is virtually unobstructed, with a large tinted windshield providing a panoramic view of the work ahead. Series II enhancements include improved steering response. Pedal steering now better matches pedal movement so steering is smooth and predictable, even on rough terrain.
CRAWLER LOADERS OPERATOR STATION Sun in your eyes? Use the roll shade to block it out or to help keep the cab cooler. Load-sensing hydraulic system delivers smooth, low-effort, combined function metering and control. Pushbuttons on the top of the handle control return-to-dig and float. Deluxe suspension seat with new wider armrests fully adjusts for daylong support and comfort. Speed-range control switch and horn button are now more conveniently located to keep the operator focused on the work.
CRAWLER LOADERS UNDERCARRIAGE Steady as you go Cast-steel-alloy segmented bolt-on sprockets are easy to remove and replace. Hydrostatic drive motors are mounted externally where they’re well-protected, yet readily accessible should servicing be necessary. Heavy-duty final drives are integrated into the track roller frames with the hydraulic drive motors.
Maintenance-free rubber isolators in the track-frame suspension absorb shock and vibration for smooth moves and enhanced gradeability. L u b r i c a t e d c h a i n k e e p s lubricant between pins and bushings sealed in, abrasives out for long life. Rollers and idlers are sealed, too. Generous track on the ground, oscillating track frames, cushioned pivot shaft, and 52-degree bucket rollback help keep the bucket heaped when transporting material on slopes or across rough terrain.
As maintenance free as a crawler can be Wet-sleeve engines with gear-driven water pumps. Lifetime-lubricated bucket pins. Weekly loader lube points. These crawlers are literally loaded with features that minimize maintenance. Daily checks are accomplished on the same side. Even periodic service points are conveniently grouped, with many protected behind lockable easy-access doors that swing open wide — to simplify fluid and filter checks and changes.
CRAWLER LOADERS SERVICE Sight gauges let you check hydraulic and drive system fluid levels quickly. Bucket pins are oil-filled and sealed for virtually maintenance-free service and long life. Bolt-on rod guides are easy to remove, should cylinder repair ever become necessary. Five fin-per-inch radiator core p r o v i d e s e f f i c i e n t c o o l i n g , resists plugging, and cleans easily. Lockable doors swing open wide to simplify fluid and filter checks, changes, and additions.
