I have never seen any tractor tires that badly worn. Those are shot! Those were great tractors and still are. Alot of farmers still running the 60 series still today.

Hey man, I just wanted to share a safety tip, it’s about your batwing bush hog. My brother borrowed my 15ft Woods batwing bush hog back in 2013, and he had it sitting in his front yard with both wings up. It was not running, and the key was not in it. He was working second shift at the police department, and when his 9yo son and 5yo daughter got off the school bus, about 15 minutes after he left to work. He gets a call one minute after he went on duty, that a 5yo little girl was trapped under a bush hog. Then give him his own address. You could only imagine how he felt responding to that call, and when he got there, both batwings was down on it, and sure enough his little girl was trapped under the left batwing. He got on the tractor and lifted it, got her out, where she was transferred VIA helicopter to the UK Hospital in Lexington Kentucky, where she was pronounced dead about 30 minutes after she got there. That was the worst day my family has had, to date! What had happened, is the little boy was in the cab, playing like he was driving it, and the girl just happened to be right under the left wing, and the boy was playing with the leavers, and you know them batwings are heavy and will gravity feed down really fast if you hit the lever, even though the damn thing isn’t running! I noticed in the first seen in that video, that both wings was up! I know you have kids, grandkids or whoever in your family has kids, and I highly suggest dropping them when it’s parked, or at least put a chain and binder to insure it can’t fall. I can’t emphasize how critical it is to do that, one, very small insignificant step to ensure your family safety. I know most people think that would not ever happen to them, but it did happen to us, and it can happen to you too.

I want to see you guys start that Ford in the background. Im a huge Ford tractor fan.

Those are great tractors that’s the series that jd put the exhaust on the side of cab and opened the view over the hood they had the better front wheel assist and a good transmission for a power shift you could put it in gear without the clutch thanks for sharing You should check trans/hydro fluid it could be leaked out and that’s why it doesn’t move

Best tractors ever made..40, 50,55,60 series Deeres. Auction results will testify to this. Sad to see these tractors in this condition.

Hey guys I love to see two you working in the old tractor, I love tractor too, blessings guys!!

Who would park the biggest 40 series deere made! Crazy!!

I worked in Gastonia. NC many years ago rebuilding the Shoney's eatery . I commuted there weekly from New Castle, Pa. I'd leave here at 6pm Sunday evening and arrive about an hour before starting time Monday morning. Nice place Hank! 😊

Fuel- check Batteries- check Crescent wrench- check Wasp spray- ? Either - ?

Nothing runs like a dear when it's chased by a case.

Great job Hank and Wily! That bad Larry started right up lol. Thanks for sharing!!

You may tell us sometime in the video but its so crisp like i am standing beside you gentlemen

You have become like family. You are like most everyone I know- Great content and human interaction. I grew up being the "go to" on our little farm in East Texas 60's- 70's. We raised a few crops, made small bale hay and had a few tractors and equipment, some cows-

Wiley sounds like he's doing a great barry white impression. Hope you feel better soon wiley👍

Wow great video quality on this one hank. Keep them coming

Just totally brightens my day to hear "this things makin oil."

Another awesome will it start Hank and Wiley. You guys are awesome. I appreciate you guys 👍

Do the Ford 7700s behind it.

I drove. A 4650 for years for. My. Brother. Excellent tractor

I live in Kings mountain, North Carolina that wicks filter company is no longer wix. It was bought out. It still has the big wicks filter outside the warehouse

Up at the Buckley old engine show in Michigan they used to do drawbar testing. Had what looked like a hydraulic cylinder with a pressure gauge attached and they would hook one end into the tractor being tested and the other to a tractor that they would use as moving weight. They had some way of mathmatically figuring out how much power due to the weight of the anchor tractor and how much pressure showed up on the gauge..

Hope you fill better soon Wiley buddy

The 6076 engines blocks were interchangeable. The only real differences would have been injection pump calibration and some of the hookups on the front of the engine (water pump ect.). These tractors were some of the first ones with computers, one that ran the injection pump on the later tractors and a hitch control unit. The HCU took the place of some of the mechanical linkages used for draft control on the 3 point hitch. The tractors that had a switch on the back to raise and lower the 3 point while standing on the ground all had HCU. The tractor HAS to have hydraulic pressure to get anything to work. Steering and brakes have priority in the high pressure hydraulic system, and when Hank had the brakes down to the floor with the engine running he demonstrated the high pressure system was not functioning. Also, once the high pressure system meets the needs of the steering and brakes, the oil then goes to the 3 point and SCV outlets. The traction clutch must be cycled one time with high pressure oil present to allow the transmission to move. This is supposed to keep someone from bypass-starting the tractor while the transmission is in gear and having it run over them. Once the clutch has been cycled, it is possible to shift into forward or reverse at any time without clutching. This transmission is still completely mechanical-there are no electrical relays or solenoids other than the MFWD (mechanical front wheel drive). BTW, if you need to move one of these MFWD tractors which does not run, there is a tow disconnect on the left side of the transmission case ahead of the final drive housing above the hydraulic and transmission filters. This will disconnect the rear wheels from the transmission, but the front wheels are still in park because the MFWD clutch is spring loaded applied. To free them up the easiest way, remove the MFWD driveshaft. I was a John Deere ag tech for 21 years, and hauled all sorts of broken ones into the shop as a dealership driver. There are a few tricks a person learns over the years! Great content, I enjoy your videos!

I have an idea for you hank if you are interested how about labeling the tool drawers so both of y'all can find any tool

HAY HANK, I SAW WILY PUTTIN' YOUR WRENCHES UP. AND WHEELIES ARE FOR WHEN YA-ALL'S FIXIN' DOZERS, YOU'D PROBABLY GET A GOOD ROSTER TAIL OFF THAT 4960, I BELIEVE, TILL I BELIEVE OTHERWISE, YA-SEE. TAKE CARE AND STAY COOL GUYS, PEACE, FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...

4960 up to 19000 lbs pto 210hp built between 1992-94

I have never seen a tractor that in it’s day was probably around 80,000.00 to 100,000.00 so beat to heck. I don’t think it probably had the maintenance done .

Sounds like me in the morning 😂😂

Let me talk to Keefe first fellas! Randy might not think y'all can drive a big tractor as good as him. 😂😂😂😂😅🤔🤔 God bless you both

The only time you get your hands dirty is when Wiley let's you check the oil. 😂 But, I appreciate you because you always mention Real old school Country Music 🎶 George Jones! You can't be too bad.

Used to work for Deere when these were new, and in the 4960 they had the horsepower pushed to the limit and they had head gasket troubles fairly often if you worked them hard. The 4760 and down didn't. What a shame to see it in this condition. Pull the dipstick in the back and check the oil, if you had no brakes then it is not pumping oil.

I am in Gaston County! This was one of my fav tractors to run back in the day.

In UK nearly all tractors have Pick Up Hitches, we never seem to use the Draw-Bar. This also means that our equipments, Trailers, Rollers, Cultivators, etc. are all Ring-Hitches.

The tractor engine puts out about 200hp but it requires 24hp to drive everything on the tractor and get it to move without any other equipment, so you are actually left with 176.48 hp available to pull something at the drawbar.

Love me some 60's series tractors! Thanks for the video guy's.

Hank I really like them older john deere sound gaurds that you are posting will you do the 4840 john deere tractor too?

Gastonia I knew there was something off about Hank! Back when I was dating 34 years ago my wife was from Forest City and loved to go shopping at the malls in Gastonia I drove by the Wix factory many times.

Hank you were close on the fuel capacity guess. That tractor actually holds 102 gallons of fuel.

You guys are great, keep it up 👍👍

Great production value on your vids. Love that you have everybody miced up. Really clear and easy to understand everything you are talking about.

🤣 Y'all are a mess!! Great job y'all and Thank You for the laughs and sharing your knowledge with us!!

Good job getting the old JD running guys

John Deere rules!!! Yeahh!!!

Entertaining and amusing. One of the best videos.

It honestly upsets me to see such a great tractor absolutely ragged out! The owner obviously didn't give 2 shits about taking care of his machinery...SAD!

I’m a little star struck 🤩 realizing Wiley played froggy in the little rascals 🤩

Good luck guys love your videos

Those tractors are more valuable than a new one you can't work on, I would buy that tractor in a heart beat. Got the old piston style injection pump and pencil injectors. Some of those John Deere's have to be in neutral to start them also they have a clutch switch clutch has to be pushed in to make them start and sometimes you to have to push them hard and bang them to make work.

Hey guys I want to thank you guys for what you do I recently have become ill I injoy watching you guys wish I was stronger and could do the same

I like this two young man,cool,nice and easy.keep firing an engine.

Love the sound of a John Deere Diesel!!!

Wiley and Hank are at it again they will be starting something 😂

Old deers never die

Wes over at onelonlyfarmer lost his a few yrs back. I'm not sure if he wants another at this time but I will say he really enjoyed that machine.

DAMN! She sounds REAL nice!

I would love to take one of those old john deeres(pretty much i see prolly they are cheap all rusted and done)and take it to my hometown with some good plows and go straight to working cheers from serbia✌🏻

Very good job and God bless y'all

So that’s why John Deere’s have toolboxes. 😂 Great vid you guys! *Keep on tractoring!*

Old is gold ❤❤

Well for me call me old goat ,geezer,viewer ,part of the peanut gallery. I enjoy your videos ,extremely intertertaining videos.

Wow lived 15 years in Gastonia NC now back in WV

Watching from Gastonia! Raised in Shelby, now live in the gas house. Enjoy your channel.

Good Evening Gentlemen , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you have a wonderful day today !

How do you guys find? A new tractor or over the road truck gray lasts of how do you guys find that stuff just curious

Well I knew I liked you for some unknown reason! LoL I born and raised in Gastonia. My mom retired from Wix filters. I worked there for a few years myself. Grew up in south Gastonia, same neighborhood where Southwest Jr high school is.

But, Thank you for your service Hank👍

I've driven this exact model for many hours in Australia around the farm.

A great looking Ole John Deere 4960. Big boy too.

What a shame to see such a beauty tractor abandoned to rot! Even the drawbar is missing!

New Hope Road native here! I'm also from Gastonia. Used to live by the speed way and Daniel Stowe

Wow that must have been some rig back in the day.

It's the Col.Hank and Wily show!..😁

I think that was used for parts and tires for a while but it runs!!

Nice work boys good choice to work on big tractor wow happy Holloween guys🎃🎃🎃

In order to start it with a key wouldn't you have to also press down the clutch pedal?

Smarter than the average bear just no better looking 😅

Nice work.

nice truck - I have to catch up on old episodes to get the story on it

Fan of the site!

It would run away with a 30 foot disk or a 12 row planter

That thang fired right up it’s a Deere man

SG2 cabin was nice in those days ;)

466 and 404 two best engines that JD ever made

Never would’ve thought y’all would be around Kinston Alabama😂 we farm all of that guys land

IF YOU GUYS EVER ARE GOING TO BE ON HIGHWAY 59 IN ATLANTA TEXAS THERE ARE OLD DOZERS AND EXCAVATORS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT ALL OVER THE PLACE............I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT SOME OF IT FOR OVER 20 YEARS..............

Good sounding motor

See Hank finally got a vice

Incredible good running! Nothing runs like a .....!

I have to admit im curious about that rig with the oversized load tarp and wether yall gonna try it

Great job guys

@34:39 LOL you crazy! lol

Can you do one on the ford tractor behind it

Ha ha!! Can't quite see the air! 😅 very punny.

That would run my Belsaw sawmill. Very cool.

thats awesome having one of them ol deeres would be nice

Thanks!

Good guess on fuel capacity...102 gallons

i wish you would pick iron tractors to work on... all the ones in the vids lately are wooden... well wooden go for hank...

The difference between "pull" horsepower vs. horsepower at the PTO?
