Additional Notes

  • The John Deere 55 series cooling system specifications cover five tractor models across the 1989-1994 production span, with capacity being the primary differentiating factor between configurations.
  • The 4055, 4255, and 4455 share a cooling system capacity of 25.6 liters, indicating a common engine cooling architecture across those three models.
  • The 4755 and 4955 carry a larger cooling system capacity of 30.3 liters, reflecting the greater thermal load associated with their higher-displacement engines.
  • A coolant level check interval of 10 hours applies uniformly across all five models, which in agricultural equipment terms corresponds to roughly daily checks during active field operation.
  • The change interval of 24 months is consistent across all five models under normal use conditions, meaning a calendar-based schedule rather than an hours-based one governs full coolant replacement.
  • The 4055 carries a production window of 1989-1992, making its applicable service period shorter than the 1989-1994 range shared by the remaining four models in the series.
