Bringing this abandoned John Deere 830-Industrial back to life. Fixing coolant issues and bleeding the fuel system, and FINALLY, the #firststart for this tractor in at least 20 years. It is not really a #barnfind but rather a field find. #tractor #johndeere #revival #diesel #willitstart #classic

Back when I was a Mac Tools distributor in the early eighties there was a jig that was in our product line for drilling out broken exhaust manifold bolts. It was not so practical for every situation but it also help keep the drill bit aligned on the bolt and not track off. It is very hard to "eyeball" the squareness and centering of a drill bit when you are laying on your back and looking up at a hand drill and getting it right. That jig that was presented reminded me of that and jogged my memory. A lot of people in order to try and save time try the "eyeball method" waste more time and come out with a substandard fix rather than take the time to make a simple jig as was shown. I noticed that he also used the jig to drill out the hole for the Helicoil tap and also as a pilot for tapping the hole for the Helicoil insert. There are other thread replacement products on the market that are superior to the Helicoil but for most applications the Helicoil works OK. And until I forgrt again I'll have to remember that tip as well.

@@billywird I work on aircraft for my job and when we have to repair damage (either maintenance induced or corrosion or whatever) we always use drill jigs. That's why I went this route. Some of the jigs at work are very complex. But without them we couldn't hold the tolerances we require.

It sounds good. I was looking at the head gasket while you were working on the fuel filters. It looks original and never been apart. I run Seafoam in all my engines and works great. I have an 820 that had a funny pop to it. It had sat for many years not run. When I got it I could only move it 8 teeth on the ring gear. I poured a gallon of diesel down the exhaust and walked away for a week. After a week I worked it back and forth till I got full revolutions and then pull started it. It had that funny pop to it and I knew it just needed to work. 2 years later I was able to work it in a field at the antique show for 3 hours. That cleaned it up and runs great now, i think a sticky valve. Everyone was telling me fuel system trouble but I knew to work it first. Try to give it a good workout for a few hours and change your oils. Do use the John Deere power steering oil. It is available from the John Deere Dealer. Just got some a couple years ago. Lethbridge didn,t have it in stock so I went to Cardston and picked it of the shelf. 5 $ a liter i think.

One thing I do is pour seafoam in the fuel filters. I'm betting there is sludge in the fuel tank yet. I got an Oliver Super 77 diesel that had been sitting for ten years and made the mistake in my opinion of not emptying and cleaning out the fuel tank. I did change fuel filters. It's very difficult to start, misfires and smokes white. I rebuilt the injection pump and will be pulling the injectors next. I have to research a tool from Oliver for checking compression but I ran it 50 straight hours on my generator and it was down half a quart of oil and I believe most of it was on the ground. Its a leaky old girl. Once she's warmed up she's the smoothest tractor I have ever heard but at this point i don't think any additives will help and those injectors need to be physically cleaned.

Not juding or saying anything about your choices but I sure do make some questionable judgement calls over here ! My brother parked his nice original 1958 770 row crop wide front diesel outside the shed for a couple of days, about 15 years ago. Last fall I needed to set up 5 bins in that area so I did a quick dump of the tank into actual containers and flushed with diesel conditioner / cleaner concoction up to injection pump and then removed all the injector lines to keep as much crap out of pump and injectors as possible. Engine runs great. Put the CaCl from tires into barrels, blasted and painted rims, wheels and weights, newer US rubber. Just have to get correct green paint and the tractor will be almost as nice as what he set out for "a few days".

@@duncanwatson7297 hahaha. I know how "when I get around to it" seems to work out. I have gotten the rebuilt injectors replaced and have come to the conclusion that the ole girl is just plain tired. I have also found a crack in the transmission case which will require a complete tear down. Right now I will probably run it on light jobs and have it on standby for the generator until I can collect parts. Unfortunately to make things more complicated, Oliver has several variations of the casting part number. At least the fuel system is ready for an overhauled engine. anyway. If anyone has an Oliver Super 77 diesel parts tractor with a transmission case part number 1MA596D, feel free to comment back to me.

I have a 820 that i took 2 tractors and made one good one. 30 years ago Had every bolt out of that tractor but the radiator. Like yours one of them didnt have hydraulics from the factory, so a previous owner put the pto out of a R to gain hydraulics. It also had the angle iron brackets for the extra drawbar support, but the cross bar support was missing. While doing that tractor i heard of a 830 Industrial being at the local scrap yard, there wasnt a lot left of it i guess. A friend was able to save the head off of it. It was gone by the time i found out about it. Good luck with the old girl!!!

@frontagulus 3 ай бұрын

One approach that I've used successfully is, after drilling out using your carbide bit and guide, I then use a gas welding tip and I heat the remaining thread up then let it cool down. It can shrink enough to enable it to be wiggled/unscrewed out using a pick. Need to be careful to heat the whole length of the threads evenly and not so much that they melt and thus weld themselves to the hole or collapse and thus lose the shrinkage advantage. But if you get it right, it can work very well. I've had about a 75% success rate.

@jonelsonster 3 ай бұрын

I can see how that would work! Good idea

@lewiemcneely9143 3 ай бұрын

That's the way to do it. Give everything a chance to warm and limber up and not run everything wide open. Just fast enough to get the job done and lot lug it to death. The crud looks like the old red coloring the diesel had in it when it first came out. Where I was working they had a Miller welder with a diesel engine. It ran red fuel and once in a while it'd fade out and you knew it was starving for fuel. It had an automotive filter with the aluminum housing and a hose barb on each end. We'd take the filter off and tap the inlet on a wood block and the dye would come out in lumps. Put the filter back on and away it'd go. Now for the pony motor! Those old big bore 2-bangers had a lot to turn over like the old low speed Cats did. I really enjoyed cranking the Cats off and them playing catch-up with the cylinders lighting off one at a time and building up till all were sputtering and warming up. Sure glad you got that one going. Now to follow along. Thanks and God Bless Yall!

Yes sir it seems as though your Dad is as happy as a kid who just got a new toy for Xmas. I watch a lot of these "will it start videos" and although there are different circumstances the challenges of getting an engine started after sitting for many years can be difficult. The common thread however is that most of these people who do this stuff think that the engine should just run as though it was shut off yesterday and they do not give it time to warm up properly and get the lubrication circulating properly. Also they do not take into account the carbureted engines can be difficult as a carburetor gets stopped up and has gummy fuel which takes a while to get cleaned out (unless you just soak the carb in carb cleaner). Both tractors you have are good candidates for putting into service with the usual maintenance.🥸👍👍👍

I'm hopeful that the misfire issue is due to air in the lines or just an injector that is stubborn after not being used for so long. I'll run some injector additive in the fuel and see if it resolves itself with time. As far as the power steering goes, I'll check fluid and see if it's just low... But I'm worried I'll need to go through it. On your 80, do you use special Deere power steering fluid, or just normal auto grade?

Yes, dirty injector is a good possibility. Another thing, after we parked the 830-I that day, I was talking to my dad about it and one reason why one cylinder wasn't firing all the time could have been because I never put the ball and spring back in. Maybe it helps maintain pressure up to the injection pump while operating? I've since out the ball and spring back in. So that might help? Either way, I'm going to run some injector cleaner additive in the fuel and see if it helps.

We now have 5 two cylinder diesels: two 830s, a 70, and two Rs. The 830s and the 70 fire right away, like you mention, and never blow any white smoke during warm up. The R's on the other hand smoke quite a lot while cold. Then clear up when warm. So, it seems Deere made some advancements in diesel engine design between the R and the number series that followed.
