Smile on Dad's face was priceless. Does a person good to see family working so well together. Just totally awesome and sure brings back old memories. thank you
A lot of times, people use the clutch as a break. That's a pet peve of mine. Due to the fact that there are breaks on the tractor. Lol. Im 55, and I've been around 2 cyclinders all my life. I still have 2 b john deeres that i use as chores tractors.
Yeah my Dad always told me don't use that pulley wheel brake use the tractor brakes....I love the Two-Cylinders I wish they would have made them alittle longer I wish they would have made some smaller diesel's like a 60 and 620 diesel
when i was young my uncle had a 1 cylinder STEYR tractor 15 horse you could for hear it miles away at night when he ploughed with it . We called it 1pot awesome sound from it .your 2cylinder brought back good memories when it fired up sounds awesome to
A friend of mine has a 720, I have helped him do the clutch, a replacement flywheel and we serviced the pony engine drive assy. It needed a new bushing at the drive end and new seals. How fun! It was a new experience for both of us, lots of book looking.
Thanks for this clutch video. Very interesting for sure. Dad looked tickled to be up starting it. I know what he will be using a little in the fields this year!
I remember taking my gramps to an estate auction. The guy was a biiig JD collector and with them all lined up for the auction it covered at least 15 acres and all but 2 ran. Before it started they all running and then right before bidding started on each tractor they restarted for a moment. I was sitting on a 830 front tire and they warned me they were starting and i then got off because once running it was gonna bounce me off. I love those diesel
Boy it's sure running nice. There is a couple things people may not know. The drive disk has a timing mark and there is a bearing inside the pulley that I'll repack especially if it was a neglected tractor. Nice work, the pony is running great and no smoke. Can't wait to see more.
A farm near where I grew up had a 70 on of the nicest tractors I ever drove. Compared to the many other colors of the tractors of the farmers around us.
Well done guys :) very impressed I am how all did and running perfectly nice with bit of bounce on front too ! Super excellent video too and glad all okay too now !
How does the diesel fuel get metered to the engine? No Injection pump like other tractors?? I have several gas 2 cyl . But no diesels!! Just curious!!!
They have 2 push rod actuated injection pumps under a cover on top of the engine block John Deere used Bosch or Bendix brand injection pumps on the cylinders same with the 2 injectors
Do you have videos of the tear down by chance? I have to go do mine and I don’t have any tools at the storage place it’s at. I’d love to see what I’m in for before I head there. Thanks so much.
I'm not sure how many turns dad made actually basically you tighten the nuts till it take 40 to 80 pounds of pressure at the top of the clutch leaver to apply the clutch
Where is your farm located? I'm about 1 hr. from New Paris tractor, South West Mi. Would like to talk to you about my 720 Diesel? Had problem last spring.
@@dirtgrainsteel While plowing with it in the spring, running great, it all of a sudden popped hard twice and locked-up, not sure what happened. Oil full, didn't get hot not pulling hard? Tried to roll it over later in the fall still tight. Great looking tractor all most everything works except the big motor now. Cranking engine works fine.
@@jefffirefighter12106 it sounds to me like you need to pull the pony off take the covers off and loosen the rod caps and see with the crank will move regardless shes probably going to need torn down it sounds like it's a bad deal its either a issue in the block or it's in the crank case....before you do anything pull the valve cover and see if it dropped a valve that could also cause a major problem
