Reserection of a 4960

[@jimsneed562]

I can't wait for this project. I'll learn a lot. It does make me cringe when I think of the cost though. Good luck and thanks for letting us hang around.

[@aarr44]

Great news. Really looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. New cab at $5,500 sounds a good one. Greetings from a storm wrecked UK.

[@EngineerLikesFarming]

[@onelonleyfarmer]

[@Northern_Farmer]

[@areents]

[@TheBighammerstudios]

[@aloysmentink]

TheBighammerstudios I thought that the new mower came in the new season.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

TheBighammerstudios the mower is not built yet

[@BepBepStev]

Dude youre amazing with that skid steer. I couldnt even get that in the shed in a day.

[@carmichaelmoritz8662]

really ? a whole day ?

[@sjstaton252]

Know a farmer in the area that took 2 damaged 60 series and made a nice one. Pulls 8 row kmc strip till planter with 3 liquid tanks on the tractor each spring. Turned up hoss. Good project and it will pay off

[@farmer2ooo]

Great tractor , well worth restoration

[@jimcreamer1925]

About 5 years ago had a 2955 fire. Fix was a Cab $4500,Hood $1000, Wiring harness $600,misc parts $2500 About 1/2 of tractor value. Still using it Today.

[@Tf9500]

I drove a 4760 on a forage harvester for a couple days and thought it was one of the best tractors I've ever drove, if they brought that series back I don't think they would have a problem selling everyone they built. If you ever get a chance to drive one don't turn it down. Th

[@timmcneil1536]

never mind the haters, that tractor is a project worth tackling.

[@bill65264]

I've done a few cab changes, It can seem kind of overwhelming, but, it's not that bad. A little hint, go find one that's all together, take a few pictures for reference, and you'll save yourself some head scratching.

[@carls.5433]

Awesome I have been looking forward to these videos and wondering if it was still around

[@olnamgrunt9857]

Oldies but goodies , way to go .

[@IAMdevilwomen]

cute and knows how to fix his own vehicles, what a man!! would LOVE to live on a farm I'm so sick of city life

[@Bediasman]

I look forward to your rebuild videos.

[@colescreekfarms]

hope we gets a lot of video of this project! Keep up the good work!

[@elkslaxer18]

Compared to having wheels, do those tracks tear up the ground more when trying to turn?

[@MRblastRM]

This gone be fun to watch! I`m excited.

[@angus4202]

i keep coming back to this video to show people that things can be rebuilt

[@FishFind3000]

Can't wait to see her run again good luck finding all your parts and pieces. Don't go broke on this one

[@carmichaelmoritz8662]

is there that much foam and plastic on those tractors to make them burn with such a intense heat ?

[@w056007568]

I'm really glad to see that you plan to resurrect this machine, as you say finding many of the parts second hand will definitely help to lessen the financial pain, but, how difficult do you expect that to be within your time constraints? Are there any personal safety issues for you from the results of the fire? I know the emergency services are very wary about burnt out cars for some reason - what I don't know!

[@ih1206]

cant wait for the next video about the old girl. Is there any concern about any thing wrong internally due to the heat?

[@XSniper16]

How long do you expect this project to take?

[@farmerchris7438]

Glad you fixing it. :).

[@leifeline]

Get her DONE :) Awesome project

[@y2kxj]

Lauren industries in Quebec makes some nice replacement cabs

[@rageingredneck1]

wheres part 2 i have been waiting on this project ever sence the tractor burnt

[@wildcoyote34]

I won't ever give you a thumbs down on any video you make,,I have enjoyed them immensely ,, of particular interest to me were the 4450 transmission series ,,and the 7810 power quad rebuild ,,I am learning a lot from watching you do it yourself ,,currently I am rebuilding a 445 Minneapolis Moline ,and I have done a 5020 Re-power ,,I replaced the original Deere engine with an 8V-92TT detroit diesel which came out of a large truck ,, a lot of guys use tractors modified like mine for tractor pulling ,,I don't I use mine for WORK ,,I got a jeep J-30 I use for pulling

[@maxwellknapp9994]

How did the tractor cetch fire anyway

[@Graveltrucking]

Sure would be nice to find a parts machine have them sitting side by side swap what you need sell the rest. Like you said it should be a fairly easy repair looks like the cab was gutted and burned across the top of the engine. I guess until you start tearing into it then you will know what you got ahead of you.

[@roundtopdorpers]

Wes. Did you purchase that back from the insurance company or was it insured at all? Just curious.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

they paid me for it then never picked it up.so after a year its abandoned!!

[@kdbritt48]

Why did it catch fire?

[@nathanielprice7857]

Hey Wes, would you ever do this again if (god-forbid) it happens with another one of your tractors? And what is the hardest part of rebuilding a tractor in this condition?

[@onelonleyfarmer]

the hardest part is figuring out where everything goes

[@XSniper16]

Sweet another project!

[@lazyj1001]

what year is that tractor

[@allied1394]

Wes where do you find the cabs I need one for my case 1394

[@annoyingapple1042]

What caused it to Brun

[@ShnitzlHaus]

will be good to see, is the cj2a still around?

[@markgamble8377]

watched ur 4960 videos caught up .nice job

[@8430IVT]

Was this tractor from Europe or Aisa ? I see different lights hanging in the front and having short rear axles.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

Europe is where i got it from!

[@PeterbiltTruckin15]

I changed the cab on our 4840 used the load and a chain on my 4320 and set it in place not to bad of a job really

[@sfu9194]

is that the tractor you pt the patch on the outside of the of the tire?

[@45Deere9500]

Yes, it is. The bad tire that he mentions in this video is the tire that he put the patch on. The patch is still on it though. It has a split on the inside sidewall.

[@hanratty450]

Can't wait too see it finished

[@kameronprice3337]

What caused the tractor to burn up.

[@LUNITICWILL]

electrical fire. watch "more bad luck"

[@Farmerboy20001]

Wish you a good luck with the john deere 4960

[@Cat320ELRR]

Howd it catch fire? Is there a video on it?

[@onelonleyfarmer]

wire shorted out. and yes there is a video.

[@bobbyharvill4225]

The 60 series. Last of the best. It was all downhill from there.

[@radarwill]

LOL, I just have to sweep and I'll be all set. You need about a month to clean that crap hole up!!

[@karenknoop2326]

I think up every video of your I watch

[@blessedman3253]

what caused the fire

[@gregshearer423]

Bryan Henderson he was mowing with it and electrics caught fire or it was something like that

[@Dragonballguy270]

Good old farmers workshop, full of "you never know when I will need this" stuff

[@sarahmattison8965]

[@gobloit4473]

If you decide to sell your ten tonne floor jack let me know!!!! I believe its a ten tonne.

[@VideosByAl]

Pretty close to a Rolling Wreck.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

yes it is but i miss this tractor so it will run again.

[@VideosByAl]

You are made the right decision to fix the tractor.

[@bobbobson7790]

Nice video, just to let you know it is resurrection and not reserection.

[@sarahmattison8965]

we also have a 4850

[@clearingbaffles]

Interesting that the insurance company paid you off and didn’t take it

[@ryanbeyea2834]

What's up

[@churchparkfarm3178]

I didn't think vicon sold in America 😊

[@rusty10162]

First lol But really can wait to see the rest

[@woodman1241]

Sweeeeeeeeet

[@karenknoop2326]

Do more jobs with the 4960 when repaired

[@ryanbeyea2834]

Hi

[@banshee8989]

That's the kind of project that will nickel and dime you to death. I look forward to the end result and it will be interesting to see what the final $ amount is.

[@Marshmouse100]

Oh goody.. another project!... w/ accompanying costs.. Why do you want to fix it up? Why not just sell it.. other than you'll get a much better price for a working machine.. Make your time worth some bucks...

[@mg1135]

but working it will pay off the money needed to fix her...

[@storminnormanz]

u should just get it running and cut the old cab off and make tim use it

[@750masseyman]

I give you a thumbs up hopefully it counteracts the thumbs down bone head. Good luck with the old girl looks like fun

[@areents]
