Found Grandpa's John Deere 8640 sitting in a fence line! Moves after 8 years!!!!

[@markspradling6490]

Reminds me of the 8630 I drove back in the 1970's. It was fun times as a teenager! Loved the feel of turning it when it swang around!

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Nice man. You have brought some good vibes back into John Deere history. I’m impressed by the interest you have put in it and I am very inspired in the same thing you have done in your future. Let me know more about your future plans.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Build a huge farm and restore all of are tractors to new :)

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Getting more land weekly

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Appreciate the support!!

[@calebgalbreath0198]

You guys should repaint it this winter

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Come by. Paint it free of charge

[@rickiemckillip8124]

What did you have to adjust to get it to Move Forward

[@ericlakota1847]

Wish i had enough land for a big tractor like this

[@LeviDobbins-j1q]

Bad ass love the 8640s

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Appreciate that!

[@thomaswilliams2253]

The new tire bill for the beast will be something else. Worth it since you can’t plow effectively with the drag slicks on it now, but new (or new to you) rubber and it will plow like a champ.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Definitely gonna be used. Uncle put some on a Versatile. New was 13k

[@thomaswilliams2253]

⁠We put a set on my uncle’s 9120. Never seen him cry before…. Then he hitched up the chisel plow and the tears stopped.

[@heatmoon]

You'd be surprised how little trwad it takes to pull heavy equipment, we ran out allis 8550 down on fronts to near nothing, still pulled a big 34' chisel a 46' cultivator and oh yea a dmi 12 bottom plow. Likely were we lost tread. Id use those tires

[@heatmoon]

It's a actually in really good shape and was clearly taken. Care of before parked. Lots of times duals would be off and parts gone on these. Put it to work, it will only run better and better

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

@@heatmoon we are bringing to John deere and totally redoing it. Like new hopefully!!!

[@petebusch9069]

Badass tractor.

Good progress since the first video!

[@kathryngeorge3272]

Wow! This thing is a beast ❤

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Appreciate you

[@nwhitten7306]

That engine seems healthy ours needs new piston rings fumes from the breather are coming into the cab the mechanic hasn't got started to it yet!

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Just leave windows open. Are case 1370 will kill you if you shut windows 😄

[@leonsieberns9191]

The case 1370 uses the York brand air conditioning compressor. When the ac system is charged and compressor is working correctly it will you really keep you cool on 95 degree day.

[@Mike-226]

Where is the fence line? I don't see any fence. Is it metaphorical?

[@mchl8]

Lucky u got it back

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Thank you. Much appreciated

[@blakeolivia]

Take the ford 8600 home too.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Not in the funds unfortunately

[@LeviDobbins-j1q]

Repaint it and tune it up so runs great and use it

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Will barely fix not paint and use as is

@@MichiganMarineFarmer Exactly: "at the end of each" 14-word titles--it does not show up even when you're playing the video. Don't know how many there are, KZbin only shows the first five or six words. Love the video, love the tractor, love the story. Just KZbin does not make it easy, thanks.

Not worth spending money transmission

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Want to bet?

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

100$ says it plows dirt

[@charlesmoore2485]

I’d fix the transmission. Or whatever it needs in time. Some fresh coolant would likely be nice to prevent cavitation. This isn’t a throw away machine. !

[@jimposey8542]

Seems as though the xmission hydraulic clutch is bad...maybe trash...
