Title: John Deere 755 spare key?
Post by: Kimbo on March 01, 2015, 07:42:46 pm

Does anyone know whether its possible to get a spare key for a John Deere 755 compact tractor?
Ive seen some for sale on the Internet but im a bit puzzled about whether the spare keys are compatible when there hasn't been a serial number match.
Alternatively, if I sent the serial number to John Deere  could I get a key cut?
Thanks

Most tractor keys historically are just a standard key (for that make), so the ones you are seeing advertised should do the trick.
Indeed you should just be able to pop down to your local John Deere dealer and buy one.

Hello
I reckon thats a Yanmar tractor underneath- JD just paint it green and put their name on it.
So the key should be John Deere part number AM879480 Put that number into the interweb and you should see a picture to see if it's the same as yours
