JOHN DEERE 2850

[@goldfire1676]

Beautiful and awesome well done and proud

[@pliston1]

Stunning job Jerry. That machine is something you guys can be very proud of altogether. 👏🏼 I can imagine the disinclination to use it and get it worn in again alright!!

[@MrE30]

Truly remarkable Gerry, hats off to you

[@johnsheahan7914]

Great video your tractor looks great

[@gjbingham1]

Well done, lovely tractor!

[@gerry6420]

Gordon Bingham thanks Gordon. Yes she’s turned out well

[@jjdeere2650]

Looking like new, a credit to you, great to see it after all the work that was done to it .

[@gerry6420]

John Kelly thanks john. yea she turned out well. Happy with it I must say

[@hughmarcus1]

Super job on that tractor. The SG2 cab was well ahead of its time, particularly in ergonomics. Everything was within easy reach, making it a great place to spend a day. The only downside nowadays is that refurbishing them is an expensive job.

[@gerry6420]

Hugh Marcus yes I agree on all fronts. Expenses is the biggest issue with the refurbishment. Need to be able to do lot of it your self. Paying someone runs in to lot of money.

[@himself2]

Tractor looks fantastic!!!

[@davie2606]

I would be parking that back in the shed not putting it to work. Stunning job you have made of it.

[@6900pilot]

Gerry you did a great job on it. If it were mine I'd put it behind a glass wall.

[@gerry6420]

John O Neill yea she turned out well. Happy with it. That’s an idea,... glass wall

[@patrick0connell772]

Super job lad lovely tractor some were fitted with dromond hitch later in there live that's why some had yellow hook best cab ever made I had one lovely tractor but constant break downs I still buy one again if got clean one

[@gerry6420]

Patrick Oconnell I’ve seen more hens teeth then I’ve had break downs in 20 years using this 50 series 😂 I found them very reliable. They give no bother. Unless it was dogged and not looked after 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@patrick0connell772]

I say the one I had was clocked had double the hours work done than clocked showed still loved the tractor would love to pick up good one

[@daniell7398]

Neusa C very happy with it neusa. Can’t wait to get using it myself 😂

[@Bambinohead1]

Super super job Gerry. Unreal really. Better than the day it came off the production line even. We'll done to us all. A lot of hard work and dedication to detail. She's a stunner. I love the fact that there's no overspray on tyres/plastic or rubber hoses. Pet peve of mine!

[@gerry6420]

Bambinohead1 hate overspray on things myself. Not hard to cover things up when painting and do it right. Lot of work but was all worth. Now.... who puts the first mark on it..... 😂

[@liamsmith1310]

She sounds like a beast mate nothin runs like a Deere

[@robbone1189]

Awesome. Very jealous 😄

[@slavekoslaveko5589]

[@rebelcounty2078]

Fantastic job 😀👍

[@letshaveago6077]

What a job, lovely example! Will it be keep on cleaner jobs or be used as a full time farm tractor?

[@gerry6420]

Lets Have A Go o she’s going bk to work.... gradually

[@jonmv211]

Excellent job Gerry its a credit to you.

[@Martin-nq1om]

You did an awesome job, I really love it! Which things would you recommend to have especially an eye on when purchasing a used 2850? Regards, Martin

[@eoghanhayes7699]

Just another quick question there,what's the little control box over on the right hand side of the handbrake, lovely restoration aswell lad

[@gerry6420]

It’s a little control box for overriding power going to the Massey drill we had. If you flicked it off then it’s stop powering up the tramline system and save you having to keep resetting the tramlines. Very simple. We could take it out. If I wanna put the gps into it it can power it. So I just leave it in.

[@mucahitdikmen6093]

Very good video 2850 hp???

[@Shep-nf3wk]

Really great to see your 2850 it looks amazing. 3650 next??????

[@kevinflynn6711]

Well gerry super job..where did u get it done?iv a 3650 that needs a good clean up any idea how much it would cost?

[@gerry6420]

kevin flynn with out tyres it’ll cost you up to 5000€ depending on how good a job u wana do.

[@mikemurphy8830]

She's mint!!. Is it missing a tank on the inside of the left rear wheel Gerry, our 2650 has one there, it's like a reserve fuel tank.

[@gerry6420]

Mike Murphy no it never had the reserve tank. Could be ordered with it new. But ours never had it

[@mikemurphy8830]

@@gerry6420 It's actually amazing that that was an option back in the late 80's/90's. They don't make them like they used to.

[@pauric141]

Top class work 👌🏻 where do you get the zinc plating done? Have some stuff to get done myself

[@gerry6420]

pauric141 crown in co.down. If you google it they show up. Do all kinds of plating and powder coating.

[@eoinreilly083]

gerry6420 she’s good old machine id say

[@colmcoakley3916]

Hi Jerry, did you do anything to the engine? re conditioned?

[@gerry6420]

Yes head gaskit rotted away. Was never touched in 25 years so took head off and sent it for skimming. New head GASKIT, dropped the pistons out for al look. We’re like the first day. But dad insisted on new piston ring kit and replace big end bearings so as not to have to go in at a later date after the paint work was done. There’s almost 12000 hrs on her. You’d never think it to drive it. Was vell looked after and maintained

[@johnwmurphy]

Hi Gerry great video, I watch all your videos, questions for you I have a John Deere 4050 and just looking at tidying it up over the next year or so just wondering is there a John Deere black for the cab and wheel arches and other bits of trim or is it any old back paint, I like how yours has turned out.

[@esis8318]

It looks like it rolled off the factory line yesterday

[@Tractorista44]

Que artista como brilla jajaj ahora a ensuciarlo trabajando?

[@eoinoreilly1712]

those bonnet decals are EXPENSIVE 2650 ones for me where a big ass price

[@castrolgtx5064]

Looks fantastic 👍 attention to detail is unbelievable you pulled out all the stops if you’re going to do something right do it yourself and you proved it here. I loved these tractors I drove them in their day, also the John Deere 4055 4wd but I never see anyone with one or a rebuild one.. the one I drove had the front linkage for the mower which was nearly unheard of back in 1989

[@gofish1468]

Ah jeez bud ya told me it turned out good as ya could have done, but OMG !!!!!!!! She's an absolute credit to ye Ger!!! Details are absolutely spot on!!! Down to the eye rope aswell in fairness !!!! Get her on a Herron for me and go for a blow!!!!!!!!! As good a full resto as iv'e ever seen lad!!!!

[@casto-]

You've done a great job on her gerry👍I reckon I could let you repaint my trac now I've seen your work quality 😉. I know what you mean, you don't wanna scratch such a nice job but then could you realy let your self leave it tucked away In a shed?

[@Bambinohead1]

I a seperate note, what's going on with the gate pillars @ 10.20/10.37? They seem miles up in the air!

[@gerry6420]

Bambinohead1 they have to be cut. The were long post that can be cut in place and weld the off cuts to make another couple of posts. Great posts don’t want to waste them. Some asked were we putting a shed up at the gates 😂

[@DattITrappan8400]

The colors dont look original?

[@gerry6420]

Green is right but the yellow is a little too white , there’s 3 John Deere yellows. Very little in differance but I noticed it just didn’t want to spray them again at the time. I’ll re spray them at some point…. I done a 3650 recent and it’s got the right yellow.

Shouldn’t it have telescopic mirror arms, all the 50 series I’ve seen have them !.
