RECOVERING ABANDONED JOHN DEERE FARM TRACTOR

This is like the non farming side of farming simulator, the logistic side. Really cool to see it all for real and how unrealistic the game is lol.

All he has to do is drag it to the workshop, hit the button and it will be 100% perfect again and if he's really flush a perfect fresh coat of paint as well.

As a farm kid in his 50’s there is nothing better then a 4440. Easy to work on, good runners, and that power shift is no big deal. You’ll need to get or build some stands to split the tractor. I’m betting it’s probably low on hydraulic oil and needs filters if it’s been sitting that long. That line leaking under the hood is more then likely a steel line that’s rubbed on the hood. Braze it and good to go. She sounds good! If it’s not steering the brake pads came apart and plugged the screen in the front pump under the radiator. Pull the axel housings and pull brake pistons out and get them redone. That screen is a bitch to get out because of the screen.

[@jamesrpm3920]

At least you have a use for it ; I bought mine repaired it , did the four hours actual loader work .Now it's my powered wheel barrow , and trash bin hauler. At 71 years old I can have one last toy.

[@Valhalla-trucks-123]

what a absolute BABE i helped a mate restor a 4440 about 20 years ago was in classic tractor amazing tractor and a very rewarding restoration project cant wait to watchyou bring her back to her former glory

[@PeterNissen878112]

Two things I noticed about Mr Hewe's videos. 1. It rains. A lot it seems. We here in Australia don't get rain. We get FLOOD or DROUGHT. And 2. You guys get spiderwebs but without a Huntsman spider the size of a dinner plate that wants to launch itself into a person's face. Well done. I may have to move.

[@shoots2001]

Biggest spider we have is the giant house spider its a baby compared to what you have there and not harmful to humans. They just give you a jump when they run across the floor in your house around autumn time.

[@3frogltd987]

The JD 4440 were a great tractors, the 466 cu.in.(7.6 L) engines were a game changer. If properly maintained and not abuse they 4440s can last almost forever, the engines were good for 10K+ hrs. If this tractor was sitting in the Midwest (US) it would have been found and recued years ago. The powershift trans is tough, and we'll worth rebuilding by an experienced and trained mechanic.

[@CarlosSchouten-ic4zt]

Absolutely love it.... Tractors & Tanks getting recscued absolutely love it... Best KZbin Channel ever....

[@KHGrinderboy]

"That want's going straight in the scrap bin" A thought that crossed every British Army Combat Engineers mind, when feeding cardboard Bar mines into a Bar Mine Layer, crossing Soltau training area in March, having been on the training area for weeks, stinking, hungry and freezing cold - Wise words that echo down the decades!

[@TLstu]

And then being told to dig them up to remove the tape holding them together because it wasn’t eco friendly

[@LucyEssex]

Someone, somewhere will buy it

[@chaz8758]

Pfftttt the barmine layer was a great bit of kit, especially when your other options are hand dig or go back to using Mk 7's with "the beast", I towed the barminelayer and carried the ranger on my 432 in Hameln

[@nialldaly7108]

What the crap are you on about, This is a TRACTOR video. What has that to do with British Army Engineers. If thats the attitude of A state organisation's way of spending Tax Payers Money, then shame on them. Scrap Bin??? They are a Very good tractor, well worth doing up. Can't sneeze at a 130hp Tractor. It looks in good condition, Do the gearbox, steering and brakes, A good service, No Rush and a Tractor for another 30 years.

Dam, the 4440 was probably the best tractor JD ever made. Some would say its the only good tractor they ever made. Had wet brakes, wet clutch......good on fuel, quiet. Decent engine.

[@Mike-Honcho-]

That wasn’t the “Case” I see what you did there. Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing.

[@ianwestmoreland5950]

Adam couldn't you hear me shouting to get away from that rope, pulling the excavator into the shed? Anyway you survived! 🙂 It started! You never know what's missing when something's been parked up on a farm for a while, going by the forrestation growing around it. An interesting project. Do you know how much it's worth before you go spending an unlimited amount on labour and parts? Good luck, great video. 👍😃🤔

After seeing lines like that snap violently in prervious scenes, I was thinking the same thing.

Defo have to agree,one of these lot are gunna get badly hurt one day,as much as they are funny etc and I'll watch every video,please boys be safe and use your heads when pulling with chains etc!!!!

That rope was a chain, but yeah really bad idea to stand right next to it (even with the sheet over it to help stop 'rebound') whilst it was under strain.

Although your fuel system needs a good going over (tank, lines, filters etc) could your air in the fuel system be being "drawn in" from the pipes on the T pieces for the injector fuel return pipes as we had this fault on a JD that we did, also if you steering leak is from a Danfoss unit at the bottom of the steering column we've got a few of them units we've salvaged from machinery.

Nearly 50 years ago on friends farm they had old abandoned tractor.wheels all seezed up hadnt been touched for yearsThey towed it with another tractor freed the brakes then bumped it .

What a tractor why would some one leave that to rot

[@killerkip1]

The repairs sometimes cost more than someone can afford, it happens a lot in the country/rural areas. It's cheaper to buy a different used tractor or sell the broken one to a junk collector so you can afford a different tractor. The repairs this tractor needs is not really something any farmer can do in their backyard, although it's not so complex you need an expert, but it def helps.

[@richardway3761]

Right but that's a new tire! Just to make the video!

[@chevyon37s]

I think the transmission not working was probably the reason for that.
