A John deere 8640 is going to be really nice to have around!! Even better to have a tractor that was once in the family back!! My grandpa has has 2 8630s and a 8440 and a 8430! Impressive pretty sure he bought them all new too and hes been using them even since!!! Keep us posted one your's!

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Appreciate the watch and the comment. Good stuff. They had some horses

[@Thewaywefarm]

We got a tractor back from my father in law and one from my Dad. Glad you got 2 of your family’s tractors back!

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Thanks. Going to pick up white one next few days

[@KatiePeairs-LouisianaRealtor]

Really neat! Sounds like there is a good back story to this video.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Yep so glad we got to find her! Thanks for support! I'll send a shirt

[@flywayne9362]

i cringe when i see people abusing starting fluid like this. NEVER spray a load of ether before the engine is turning over, and then just spirts until it fires. Secondly , if its warm enough to wear shortsleeves, that motor will easily start on its own. even if it has sat. as soon as it gets fuel.. it will fire. After hearing that motor knock from over ether, it will never be the same. Starting fluid should only be used under extreme cold temperatures , and then with respect. Just sayin

[@AnglesideFarm]

That is so cool to buy back a tractor/s your family once owned. I keep hoping I’ll stumble across my old JD 5020.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Where did it go? Any ideas?

[@AnglesideFarm]

@@MichiganMarineFarmer not really. I’ve asked around, but it’s probably long gone and scrapped out by now.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

You might already know this but after it has sat awhile, before starting I recommend checking the oil. Also loosen the engine oil drain plug carefully until something comes out.. if all you get it is good. If the first thing to come out is coolant, not so good. Drain that off until you get oil and take note of how much you get. If just a few drops or a tiny amount, Run it, but check oil often and check drain plug again the next day before start-up... 8640's are notorious for having head or head gasket problems. Also there are liners that can let coolant in the oil. Also, at least where I am, the 619 engines are obsolete and hard to find.

[@TheFarmerfitz]

But, if you get a large amount of coolant out the oil drain and your oil level is way overfill, don't run it until you find the issue, as antifreeze is bad for engine.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Yes sir checked all fluids. Thank you for tip and support

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Only tractor that I would like to have again is a 4010 that I remember growing up. I sold the 4020 to a buddy, and have an "A" still ready for resto, 1 of the first JD's my family had. There are several tractors that were traded that I never want to see again, and if I do, I will know that I didn't live right and am probably in hell...😯🙄😂

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Good stuff

[@BillCoxoutfit]

I love that tractor. Glad you guys got it back. Did your grandpa buy it new?👍💯 No technician needed if you have problems. Unlike the ones we use. Breaking down sucks with these internationals. But they sure are comfortable though.

No he owned it about 15 years. Thabks for watching and the support

[@kevindavis7822]

Kool find i love these old jd. But Yall better get somebody who know what they're doing. Cause yall gon, burn something up, or ruin a good engine if fuel is primed up properly no starter fluid is needed but it Is your video keep them coming

[@cadenwillett]

What a coincidence cause I have a John Deere 8640 to I just used it today

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Hows it running? Where you located?

[@cadenwillett]

@@MichiganMarineFarmerpretty good but it started leaking hydraulic fluid and so now it has to be worked on but it got us through the rest of the field work and now we have more time to work on it

[@TheFarmerfitz]

I have 2 8640's and 8650. Personally, except for when the hood needs lifted, Imo the 8640's are easier to do daily oil and coolant checks and crop ups. Because on 8650 you have to lift the hood every time to check or add coolant or to add oil. The 8640's you only need to lift hood to fix a problem under there.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Hell yeah that would be a pain!! Thanks for sharing and the watch

Why is someone not using this valuable asset on their farm. At 275 hp this would fit right in with the modern tractors except for technology - but that too can be added.

[@GMT400Chevy]

As long as the fuel system is fully primed, there shouldnt be any need for either on a warm day. As long as the starter works they fire right up.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Well brother wish I had faith like you. Would probably be married still 🤔

[@GMT400Chevy]

@MichiganMarineFarmer they're really easy starting engines🤷‍♂️ as long as they have fuel they start, unless it's below 32 degrees they'll crank a little longer, but still Fire up fine.

[@michaelanthony3816]

Your solenoid does 2 things at once turn the engine over and engage the starter drive Pull the starter take to a shop and see if yo need a selonide or starter or both. Good luck

[@bobhickling1837]

Sorry you're getting so many snarky comments. Truth is, the bendix on the starter wasn't engaging the flywheel. Pull the starter, free up/lube the bendix and you should be good to go, if you haven't already done that.
