My father recently bought a John Deere 655 with mid mount mower and front hyd. blade. He is having just a couple of problems. #1 There dosen't seem to be any float detent on the front blade. When he plows snow it wants to dig down,has down pressure all the time. #2 It is hard starting when cold even with the block heater plugged in. Thanks, Ash

There should be glow plugs on this tractor to assist in starting. I believe they come on automatically when the key is tuned to the on position. You then wait until the glow plug light goes out and then turn to the start position. If you have been doing this, the glow plugs might be faulty. You can check them first with a test light to see that power is getting to them when the light on the dash is on. There is a relay on the firewall, in front of the battery that controls the glow plugs. That could be faulty. It the glow plugs are getting power, you can check the glow plugs themselves by removing the wires from them and check the resistance from the post on the glow plug to ground. If there is no continuity to ground, then they are burned out and need replacing. There is a spec. for what the resistance should be. You can get that from your local dealer. I hope this helps.

If the hydraulics are hooked up correctly, when the joy stick is pushed all the way forward, it should stay there. That is the up-down float position.

They are a bit easier to start if you're not trying to raise the hydraulics at the same time. Be sure both the rockshaft lever and the joy stick are in a position so that nothing wants to raise up as the engine starts. It's winter. Are you using number one Diesel?
