[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Yeah guess it depends on the budget. Wouldn't mind getting some new runner for her

I used to work at Vigoro fertilizer out of Dundee, Michigan. One of our customers was Mr. Milan George. Any relation? I believe his place was in Salem, MI.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

My Grandpa 😁

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

That was his tractor

[@larrybruck2949]

@@MichiganMarineFarmer I am happy to hear that! God Bless! Yep, I remember hauling anhydrous ammonia nurse tanks up there all the way from Dundee. I worked at Vigoro ( previously known as Kaiser Estech and Smith Douglas) from 89-1994. I went up there with my boss, Don Dunmore, and met your grandad years ago. Keep em' coming. Thank you for serving the USA.

Love these old beast I had a4840 and a 4850 tuff old tractors hard to beat that deer My dad had both internationals harvester and deers couldn't keep the The internationals out to shop. Meanwhile, the deers were in the field jumping getting it done so he went all green

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

[@kevindavis7822]

I hope you guys know it. That's a jewel Fix the AC in it.

[@CaryGuyer]

Hopefully you cleaned the packed up radiator out before taking it out and just hammer down pulling equipment especially since the tractor has sat for so long. The 8640 is a piece of American heritage and one that looks as good as that one does, you need to take care of it maintenance wise to keep it rolling.

Im sure pap is smiling wherever he may be

New to channel. Don't know your knowledge or experience, just throwing out some tips and tricks for you and audience. 1. The unpainted cup under priming pump should have a screen. You can get a glass bowl so that water and debris are easy to spot. 2. If tractor has been sitting one season to next, always a good idea to check water trap on fuel tank and drain. 3. If tractor is not even puffing when cranking, crack the injector lines loose on engine side and crank till they spit with pressure about 4 times. Tighten them individually as you get the air purged. 4. Ether, last resort. 5. All of the folks talking about putting atf in your fuel are not wrong. It is good lubricant and cleaner additive for low sulfer fuel. Add it when you get ready to hit the field. Burn that old fuel down low before adding new fuel so that you don't dilute the atf and let it clean and lubricate.

[@scottleininger6201]

Awesome

Thank you!

Hell Guys what's about the FORD behind???

40 series a real step up from 30 series. They were huge improvement over '20 series. Needs fluids and tires and go to work!!

She's a beast! Thanks for watch and comment

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Didn't know Deere ever made an 8620 !!! 8630 yes, but 8620 - I don't think so.

[@TheJohnDeereGuy]

Open an injection line or two at the injectors

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

It was the filters

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Spent 600$ on filters for trans and fuel. See if we can drive her home

it amazed me how small hp these big tractors are,I worked on a farm in Devon the UK and the farmer had a volvo tractor that he put a 12 leter 480hp truck engine it was awesome

Scoring those injectors dry firing with ether.

Runs fine

[@tjlqk3]

@@MichiganMarineFarmer report back in 500 or less hours after you replace them :-) she does sound good tho. Next time crack the injector lines and bleed the system correctly tho

Put air filter cover back on or run over

Michaganmarinefarmer you should use gas not ether in a diesel tractor

[@burrridgefarms]

Put some atf in the fuel tank.

[@MichiganMarineFarmer]

Thinking about adding a DEF tank. Make it California certified 😄

[@burrridgefarms]

Just thinking the atf will help loosen up the injector pump, it sure didn't sound right when it took off.

@@burrridgefarms yeah she's purring now. Trans fluid looked like some water got in it
