Yes, it was exactly what we were looking for. It wasn't cheap, but it's very nice. The video that releases tomorrow on my channel is an update on this tractor.
I like old tractors like this very much, nowadays I hardly even see old tractors, I really appreciate it if there are tractors like this one preserved.😊, from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️❤️❤️❤️
My neighbor borrowed my JD 3020 gas that had been in a shed for almost 12-14 years. He put a new battery and gas in it and it started almost as quick as that one. He used it 2 weeks to run an auger and it never missed a beat! I had just changed the oil and topped off the coolant before I put it away; when we pulled it out of hibernation, we checked all fluids and it only needed gas. My neighbor changed the oil and brought it back and told me if it had been a diesel, it would've been hard to bring back. These tractors just want to work.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing.Remarkable collection,glad your dad was able to get that machine-sounds great,I like that cab, that’s a unique addition.
We've been searching for an 830 for several years. We were very happy to be able to bring this one home. While the cab adds character, we've already removed it. It won't fit in our heated shop with that tall cab installed.
What a collection. Sad to say farms are going away.. replaced by subdivisions. Thank you to all those still keeping the family farm Or starting a family farm. Best of luck to y’all
@@jonelsonster I wish I knew that sooner. I had a set of 3 bottoms that could have sold you. I parted it out. It was a set we actually pulled behind an a.
Hello, your channel was recommended for my viewing, and i am very glad they recommend your channel. I like old equipment. I have some equipment. I just wanted to say, i am very impressed, the way you reply, to every comment. So impressed, i subscribed. Keep up the good work. 😊😊
Must be UT or ID... as you're on the wrong side of the mountain and I'm pretty sure that is a UP rail running in the background. Glad you showed the shed. I honestly thought it was just a single row of tractors... until you showed us it was 80+ feet deep. That's a life time of collecting in there. Never mind. Caught a glimpse of a license. Must be northern.
Had one years back , was just about identical to this except I had more wheel weights I farmed with it for twenty years and it needed a lot of work , tires , batteries, starter , wiring, one wheel bearing. A guy from Iowa phoned me up and offered me enough to buy a tractor in good shape twenty years newer Don't know how he heard about me having it , couple thousand miles away in a different country
If you ever spent any amount of time on them , a person becomes hypnotized by sound of 2 cylinder John Deere s when he hears one run ! As person such as myself I become hypnotized by the sound of John Deere 2 cylinder tractors . It's all so logical as my mother spent a large amount of time while pregnant with me ,at my grandparents farm . They used 3 John Deere A s to farm 350 acres. As a toddler I watched n listened , to those tractors being operated everyday for various chores , on the dairy farm . I'm was in the fenced in yard n my uncle's were in the other side running those big tractors . I was hooked thru n thru .
Just overhauled one, an R and a D before it. The R I broke in on my buddies M&W dyno. Had really put the fuel and 200 more RPMs to it. Do not let anyone tell you that you can't get 65 hp out of an R.
That's cool. We have two R's and one D. I have a video on my channel of is testing one of our R's on the dynamometer. It was just shy of 50 hp, if I remember correctly. I've heard that the R engine was not as stout as the later big diesels because it only had 2 main bearings (one on either end) whereas the 80 and later had a third main bearing added in the center to help support the crankshaft.
@@jonelsonster true, but if all you are going to do is pull it, it will be just fine. A R was a wonderful beast. I had a guy tell me his f20 foolemall could pull 3 Rs backwards. I told him it had better not be uphill on gravel.
@@jonelsonster you can bore the injectors, send the cam out and have the duration and lift adjusted so it wil breath. Get rid of the oil bath a/f and install a dry type. That alone is 5 hp. Set rack to really pump the fuel. They are a horse.
Sitting inside really seems to have helped it stay as nice as it is. We also just pulled a John Deere R and a John Deere 830-industrial from a field where they have sat outside for about 20 years. We got them started, but not nearly as easily as this!
@@jonelsonster Thanks for the reply. I had watched your vids on the R and 830. What bothers me is the ones that were parked and they didn't cover the exhausts. The B414 I just got has the exhaust going under the engine and trans. That's what saved the engine from being locked up.
@@ClintsHobbiesDIY oh yeah, if the exhaust isn't covered, you can forget about it. Luckily the previous owner of the R and 830-I covered them. In fact, the can that was covering my 830-I was a shallow can (like a tuna fish can) but it fits perfectly over the end of the exhaust. Your have to look closely to even notice it's on there. But it did it's job and kept the engine free.
@@jonelsonster Hamiltonville Farms worked on a dozer that had a 5 gallon bucket on the exhaust pipe. This B414 fuel system has been a nightmare. From a hole in the tank to all 4 injectors being stuck and everything in between. I won't get started on the injector pump. I'm working on a very long "Will it start vid. Have a great day.
The John Deere 830 is a model of farm tractor produced by John Deere, a well-known manufacturer of agricultural machinery. The John Deere 830 was produced during the 1950s and early 1960s. The tractor was typically equipped with a two-cylinder engine. The exact specifications, including horsepower Depending on the specific model and configuration, the 830 might have been equipped with rear rubber tires or, in some cases, steel wheels.
Yes, we were excited. This is exactly what my dad wanted. Electric start with PTO. And while we were searching for this 830 we found a guy about 15 miles away from us that had an 830 Industrial. And for some dumb reason I felt I "needed" that 830-I... So I bought it about the same time my dad bought this Ag version 830. So now we have two. But I don't know if my industrial one will start yet.
Cool deal, 830's are getting hard to find. I recently found a model D i wanted for a few years. The D has the largest engine (501ci) but the 830 is the most powerful at (470ci)
@@BOREDGAMING1234 True, but only 125 were sold between 38 -41 and then it was discontinued. Sound Guard did set a higher standard in 73, designed by Chuck Pelly of Henry Dreyfuss and Associates.
@@bernardniesen8694 Well, there weren't that many girl farmers back then running machinery, so it's no wonder they didn't sell well. The '70's was right in the heart of women's lib.
There were other checks we performed off camera to make sure it was ready to turn over and try starting. But in the end, the only way to try starting it is to try starting it. In cool weather these engines sometimes don't like starting... And I'm cold weather you can forget it. That's why we used a quick shot of ether.
It's about 75 HP. It's actually the biggest tractor Deere (or anyone else, probably) made back in the late 50s and early 60s. It's liquid cooled. I'm not aware of any air cooled tractors made by Deere.
Some cabs were factory. But this one was aftermarket by a company called Excelsior. Both pony and E-start versions had a compression release. This one just needed a slight adjustment and then it started working again.
Yes. There are probably 12 to 15 BO Lindeman's in this collection. He had several other barns larger than this one full of probably 170 tractors. All John Deere. He has every single model of two cylinder tractors produced from the GP up to the 330. It's a fantastic collection and we are very grateful he sold this one to us.
@@jonelsonster I kind of doubt anyone will see the kind of tractor made today firing up 60+ years later like these old JD of years past or any other antique make.
I said the same thing to my dad, but he disagrees. He wants it to look brand new. I argued it would be like him going to the plastic surgeon and getting a face lift to look young again. 🤣 But it's his tractor and he'll do what he wants with it... So I think he's going to paint it.
If it is restored to John Deere specs I do not have a problem with it. Any other way yes I do have problems with it big time. The fuel system must be in good condition otherwise the tractor would not have started that easy. They are lucky they did not have to drain the fuel tank and put new filters on the fuel system also.
@@jonelsonster Been out there freezing many a day or night plowing when I was a kid wishing for protection from the cold/wind. Only 1 of our tractors when I was growing up had a cab and Grandpa had dibs on that. Funny - He thought it was a dumb idea when Dad put the cab on, then once He used it on a cold spring day - He was in there with his jacket off and that was his tractor from then on, LOL.
I think they are expensive anywhere you can find them these days. Too many know about their value. I suppose there is always someone somewhere who might not but....
