Two grand is way too cheap for that thing it is absolutely running in working and operating that means it is worth at least $5,000

You da man!!! Growing up on the family farm in northern Maine, I've had my share of seeing my uncle lose his sh!t attempting to get farm equipment running. He taught me a lot. When I went into the Army in 1982, all them city boys thought I was some kind of mechanical savant just because I fixed a broken starter on a jeep...lol I admire you, sir! You truly are a mechanical savant, unlike me. I'm no expert mechanic, that's for sure. I absolutely love what you do. Unfortunately I'm a disabled Army veteran these days, and being housebound makes it even worse. Watching guys like yourself gives me some freedom albeit I'm doing it from a chair sitting in my living room. I'm a huge fan, bro! Thank you for posting videos about your passion and what obviously brings you joy and satisfaction. I took it for granted and lost. Keep up the great work!

[@bertgrau3934]

I've worked on a few tractor, one I remember was a case, it had a 4 cylinder Perkins engine, someone left it outside without the exhaust stack uncovered. Took the head off, it was very bad shape. Ordered a rebuild kit, took the head to a very good machine shop. Cost $600 just for the head, but after putting in new rings, and bearings it started up fairly quickly, ran rough for about 15 seconds, then ran great. The biggest problem was, like you found the hoses were bad. The gentleman that bought it, changed all the hoses. And some other stuff. For a tractor that was built in 1968, it's earning its keep. It has the front end loader, and the back hoe as well. The man that bought it says he is very happy to have it. Sir, you did a very good job, and kept a good machine from being junked. I enjoy your videos, some times I kind of wish I was younger. Seriously though, I don't want to go through all that again so I will stay at my old age .

[@ChrisDenny28]

You are a great teacher! For example, when you explain how to hammer the valve springs, you explain why and how to do it and then demonstrate...then explain again on the second one in case we missed it. From Delco, PA, keep the diesel videos coming!

[@kathyruuska7941]

He learned that from Gus.

[@dancarney106]

You are a good man. You offered the owner a very fair price considering you had no idea and then you sold the machine at a very fair price. Thank you for worrying about the bees. We people depend on those little guys.

[@luckysevenairammo1217]

@Tango Downx2 All bees assist in the pollination of most plants, many of which we consume to stay alive, many plants can only reproduce with the direct pollination of bees. Other plants don't 100% rely on bee pollination but they definetly benefit from it. Without bees many plants that we consume would be in big trouble.

[@vmikeb1]

There’s a pressure dump solenoid on the hyd pump to relieve pressure while cranking that’s wired to the starting pole of the switch. Or you can “rock” the steering wheel while cranking. Will make all the difference in starting. I owned several 310’s, 310A’s & 410’s. Great old machine in its day.

[@chugaaa]

Wow that was impressive!!!! I bet 99% of people would off quit after the compression results but not Chris, that thing just had its second chance, well deserved though it looks like it has potential. Looking forward for the next videos!!! Great job 👏🏻

[@ionracer24]

Nah, the rings just get sticky, its and easy fix

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

The previous owner seems like a good person, and quite good with their hive of bees. That driver who picked up the 310 for transport is truly a madlad with pushing the limits of his rig, considering how you see the entire front end of the truck get a solid 2 feet off the ground while the ass end was pushing into the dirt.

[@ericstegner5730]

Don't worry about the horse just load the wagon

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

@@ericstegner5730 _the horse becomes a pancake smear on the ground_ Uh.......should I worry about the horse now?

[@walkerhawes2200]

My father had a 1979 410 JD that looked exactly like that 310. I remember when he would go level dirt out for people or dig a “trash hole” I would sit on the fender and hold the armrest on his seat. I spent many hours on that fender. I really wish my dad still had that backhoe. It was a true workhorse. Great video and great job saving her from the scrap heap.

[@doighorning5180]

Just want to thank you ..had back surgery about a month ago started watching your last videos and just love them so just wanted to say a big thank you

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks so much for checking them out and I wish you a speedy recovery

[@stroys7061]

I watch your videos in part because I love the sound of an old iron engine coming back to life.

[@itsnotjunkyet1290]

Well I’m a new fan of your channel! You keep repairing all over the map, tractors,boats,cars,diesels, etc. Myself, and I’m sure many others really appreciate the analysis you use and procedures to test and fix stuff are very helpful. It’s obvious your a gold star mechanic and generous with your knowledge, seeing stuff come back to life on here is awesome! Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your channel!

[@1965ace]

I own a 300B circa 1980 and it starts every time within the first few revolutions! I love JD!!

[@t1259sw]

I own a JD410 four cylinder backhoe with a cab, very first heavy equipment I bought. I use it for maintenance on my two properties, it's not going anywhere. One nice feature about these when operating the front bucket up and down it has no affect on the angle of the bucket and yours has the two cylinders to swing the hoe boom. Great job saving this old iron.

[@bryanewing5058]

That was awesome. It feels good to see an old backhoe come back to life and get put to good use. Great video!

[@markduncan6690]

The Content and “Your very Amusing Dialogue gets the job done!

[@rp1645]

Thank you for saving the great old JD backhoe Think the lever on left of steering wheel. midway is NEUTRAL. up is forward Down is backup. the gear shifters are one is HIGH/ Low Range. The other is just standard Four speed gear shifter.

[@jamesjansen8386]

I am the proud owner of a1977 / 310 gas engine . It's still in occasional service today and is iron clad reliable! Anyway I enjoy the video.

[@mudhustle]

I have a 310A, it's a beast. I wasn't surprised when it ran. Good job man. The ignition on mine is on the same part as the throttle just behind towards the back.

[@haroldjohnson3591]

[@jdtv...9134]

I love stuff like this. I pull weed wackers and lawn mowers that people toss away or have been sitting outside for years and get them running cars as well haven't done any major equipment except for a few bobcats

Those old diesels are awesome 👍

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

You're probably one of five people on the planet that would've gotten that rig firing. Super cool video, super stoked JD, going to a good home, ready for work. Keep on doing your thing!!!

[@wheeler391970]

Great video! One quick tip on starting these machines, on top of the arm of the clutch pedal there's a part that pivots up which allows the pedal to be pushed in further. I believe that it bypasses the hydraulic pump which will make the engine turn over easier and faster. I used to run the exact same hoe. Great machine! Thank you for your entertaining vids!!

[@cubleycat]

Wow we would not scrap something like this in the UK. Im sure you could use this at home! Brilliant job, well done, I wouldn’t have done anything differently to what you did to get it running. I am so pleased it got saved and is working for a new owner. I was thinking you were going to take it home thought lol.

[@RiggyRonnie]

Perseverance pays off! Most people would’ve quit after the no compression check, it wasn’t an easy one, but you got it done 👍

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Always enjoy watching you perform your magic Chris. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Best wishes.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

Yea saving equipment that can be put to use to help a fella get business going or get up running, or help a person get more done, is what was needed for this old girl. Thats a steal of deal 2k for running (needs love) backhoe...

[@CPthetooladdict]

You are the first guy that finally put thick oil down the cylinders to get something started on the youtubes I laugh at all the other channels that don't do that and struggle lol great video!!

You saved the Deere and that is your goal. Good sticking with it.

[@gunjiweber42]

Another success, that's cool you save them from being scrapped.

[@tractormatt4301]

Awesome video Chris, I have some crazy story’s from buying and selling tractors, wish I wore a go pro for some of them, people can’t remember what they ate for breakfast, let alone how well a tractor ran 20 years ago. I’ve had people tell me tractors are blown up, and we’re parked due to it 20 years again that start up with a jump and some starting fluid.

[@ksw501]

Had a similar vintage model 410, was a great machine. Only issue I ever heard about is condensation/water getting in the transmission housing and causing problems with the drivetrain.

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

A good representation of determination.

[@paulcarter2907]

Chris you are ever the optimist!!!..Never mind AG, if we could bottle you we'd make a mint! I noticed at 21mins, despite having turned it over many times, that valve gear is as dry as a bone!

[@wyatt1476]

Stumbled across you channel and you have great content man!! Your narrating is almost exactly the same as my internal dialogue when working on projects. Makes your stuff very relatable. And along with your mechanical knowledge makes for a great combo! Cheers!

[@Kenneth2515]

Dude got a steal on this for $2000. Where I’m at any heavy equipment like this (even in worse condition) go no less than $9500.

[@barnacles62]

First piece of equipment I ever ran, a good machine. My uncle had one exactly like that. He showed me once or twice what did what, then left. I was leveling dirt in about a 5 acre lot. I was scared I was going to mess it all up, he laughed and said, its dirt, you cant tear it up. Dont go near the woods, dont go near the highway and try everything on it front and back, so youll get used to it. He left me there for 6 hrs, when he come back I had it graded, and had that machine figured out. We went and got a lot of Budweiser then.....

[@gbh559]

Hello. The slow cranking speed is most likely the electric dump valve in the hydraulic pump. The valve is on the left side of tractor on the pump at front, in front of fuel tank. It has two wires feeding a magnetic switch. It is energized when you hit the starter to relieve hydraulic pressure while starting.. I have owned and worked on the 310 and 410 series and this was a rather common prob.

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 thanks for getting the John Deer back in the game 😊

Excellent, keep up the video's, and the enthusiasm, and the love for bees

[@docktorleaky5869]

Just recently bought an old Case 580C that had been sitting. Basically what I have learned is that old equipment is like having a boat. A boat is a hole in the water of which you throw money. A backhoe makes the hole of which you throw money. Rebuilt several hydro cylinders and redid the brakes top to bottom. Few smaller items to sort out, but it digs! Enjoy the channel!

Thanks Kenneth

[@BS.-.-]

If you look at how that exhaust manifold is built, the fact that the exhaust was open and the #3 cylinder has the worst compression it all makes sence. Thst exhaust wasn't always covered and the engine filled with water.

Need a "Clore JNC660" jumper, they give a lil more jump power for longer than the lithium packs, but of course bigger n heavier. But can be more of a stand-alone battery than a lithium pack.

[@hiscifi2986]

Most likely the piston rings are tight in their grooves, by all the rust they have scrapped off the cylinders. If you could clean the ring grooves, they need about 2 thou play for the rings to make a good seal. The cylinders will most likely get better polished with use. (but the re-build kit seems cheap enough, as there are only three to do..!)
