COM86 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So I did. And was given this. It's a John Deere 770. 3cyl diesel, 4x4 tractor. The previous owner said that it smoked badly and the flat tire is a bad wheel. I replaced the hoses, fuel and vacuum. New fuel filter, clean out the fuel tank. And it fired right up. And hasn't smoked at all. I put in a new valve stem in the flat tire, and it still holds air. This little tractor has been beaten to death.

COM86 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 The brakes were not hooked up. So today I pulled off the cover and found the brakes were rusted. So I'm in the process of cleaning the rust off and refurbishing the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Nice score! Now, I have heard of John Deere. At first I thought this was the 1972 Bolens Husky tractor that 89 MJ has posted here. I like learning what other things you guys are tinkering with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many smaller tractors within the last couple of years (compared to the past). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
