I have a 4955 that radio quit working. Clock doesn't display either. Was working fine one day and nothing the next. Thought it might be a fuse but they all look ok and when I press the power button for the radio I can hear a slight chhhhh sound for just a split second in the speakers then nothing so it must be getting power. Any thoughts??? Thanks
 
My thought is that they are cheap radios and yours has went the trip,,Darn it,,and also to add the new replacement radios do not need a memory power wire, the new ones have a storage cell built into them that will hold the stations and the clock for a long period of time,,but it don't know exactly how long...
 
It"s gotten hard to find a radio suitable for tractors. Our dealership quit selling radios and send everyone up town where all the kids go. They have small buttons and too many features to be able to change the station going across the field. My 6410 has a remote that has bigger buttons, but that"s just crazy. Remotes are for the TV. I wish you could still go and buy a radio built for the tractor cab environment.
 
I've been using radios from Wmart. Probably the same size and feature issues you stated but way cheaper than Deere. Usually get the cheapest one on sale for $50-60.
 
I had one that was bad in my 4640 right after I bought it. I went to Radio Shack and was amazed with the fact they did not even sell automotive radios. I bought a Kenwood radio and CD player and it also has a remote control. I also updated the speakers, but had to build frames that moved the speakers away from the headlinder because the magnets in the back were too big. It works fine, but the buttons, as you say are too small to operate. Has anyone ever tried those replacement radios and headliner "pods" that are offered in either the Sloan Express or Schoup catalogs? Those might be another option.
