JOHN DEERE 140 H3 TRACTOR | Hydraulic Levers & Steering Box Issues

Hey gang!
This is not the most useful installment in the John Deere 140 series. But it’s been some time since I’ve made any contribution, the thing has been out of commission for several months, and I just wanted to recap what all has been going into it lately.
Please excuse the rambling on and on. I just hope that if you’re looking for some insights about how to disassemble your levers or steering gearbox that it’ll at least help someone somewhere!
I’ll try to get more to the point and improve the filming quality on the next one… if I have time… no promises!

The 3000 series John Deere brought me here, the livestock and land adventures keeps me here.

Love the deere content man. I got a 140H3 due to your video when you first picked it up and then i got into the 400 series when you got the 400. I have now grown my collection really fast. I has a 318, 332, 400 with tiller, deck and snowblower, 420 with loader, 420 with mower deck, 430, 140H3 and 110RF. I enjoy the videos about them but it seems like you have other priorities. Ill continue to watch the deere content whenever you uploade but dont become one of those youtubers that post project videos and then they are never finished.

Ha! This project is finished! The other 2 episodes come out later today. Pretty impressive collection you’ve got there! Are you planning on restoring them, or are they in good workable condition?

I like the videos the random things are cool. But I do enjoy the garden tractors and the farm stuff! I've got a 1978 316K john deere the one year only 316 with a single cylinder kohler it's a glorified 300. I dig this style machine and I picked it up non running to be my mowing machine and slowly fix up. My other machines are a Case 222 I repowered and made into my snow pusher, trailer puller all around working machine. I did also just get a Cub Cadet 124 along with a parts machine for it. No real reason for having the Cubs but they are cool might someday be a replacement for my Case 222 which was a cobbled up and worn out machine when I got it. All that being said I'm a John Deere guy more then any other brand I'm finding out lol

[@NewMoonRanch]

That’s awesome! And thanks a lot for participating! I’d not turn down any Cub Cadets. I’d probably look to add just one stout rare one to the collection one day. And a Case too! Whenever I see unique ones, like vintage Wheelhorse or others, I definitely want to nab them! I’ll always be a Deere guy too, but there’s so much history and much to enjoy about all the other yard tractors!

[@iowafox2206]

@@NewMoonRanch oh I agree I can't turn down any they all have a rich history and each machine has its own story to tell. Like my current 316K just from what I can tell has had a rough past until I got my hands on it.
