I remember watching each part of this series and LITERALLY jumping up and down when tge 4960 started. Always have and always will live the farming dream vicariously through this channel.
Got a 1964 Simplicity Landlord a year ago; the work it did on the property so got me so hooked on tractor capability that I was fascinated with your 4960 resurrection. I watched the entire series today and related to your inability to scrap the 4960. The meticulous attention to detail was noteworthy along with the occasional departures from reason. I anticipate there will be times I do things only to realize the approach came from you and your 4960 project. Thanks for the time it took to record and edit as well as the never again realization. I appreciate the look over your shoulder; it was a great way to spend a final flu recovery day.
I can't believe I just spent the majority of the day watching this entire rebuild from start to finish. Fantastic work, doesn't matter how it was done it's done it runs and able to keep going. The fire may have been a blessing in disguise?
Another fantastic video Wes, congrats on getting the head gasket issue resolved. Your 4960 looks and sounds like a new machine now that you and Tim have reworked the whole myriad of fire damaged components. Many good hours of field time will repay you for your efforts !
As a snot-nosed suburban raised kid i am totally impressed! So the tractor burns is a total loss, and sits in the field for awhile. I think many would sell or part out what was still usable. But you REBUILD it. I am officially blown away.
A job well done. It's been a pleasure to watch every obstacle overcome. Doff my cap to ya'll. I'll bet your Dad is fair proud that you got it running, late or not!
she went up that hill like she woz on a flat road excellent work wes we new you would get there in the end. just brilliant work my hat of to you and tim.
i agree she is snotty as a 3 year old!! i pulled a 20 ton load of hay up a hill that it would normally not do in 15 th gear but it yanked it up there like nothing..
I love the 4960s they are such damn good beautiful mean tractors we mostly use them on our farm but we're going to 8420s now I still love to run the 60s though it was the first tractor I learned to drive nice tractor btw
I personally like the 4960 better then any of your other tractors including the 8120. The 4960 was back when they were producing big well made tractors with high horsepower it's big and it's mean that's what I like about it and I love when you rev it up it rolls some coal that's what a tractor should do great work congrats must feel great. Can't wait to see it working
do you ever sleep? fixing the sprayer,going to wegners for a tire.Spray the fields repair the head! post videos! All in a days work for onelonleyfarmer! Cool to watch the hill climb! Nice work! Have a fun weekend!
Must be nice to have it finally finished ! just some finishing TLC and and the old JD with be good to go ! nice job , lots of GRUNT involved in this one ,LOL
Great job, great to see and hear it run. Look forward to seeing it work. As a guy that knows almost nothing about farming I was wondering if the 4 wheel drive is used a lot for your day to day jobs? It just seems that for many decades all tractors where 2WD and now it seems much more common for 4WD. Anyway, nice work and I would be steaming over the bad torque instructions you got. Damn that made a lot more work for you.
are there any pressure switches in the AC-Circuit? There may be low pressure (prevents freezing) and high pressure (prevent blowing) so without having the circuit filled, there will be no power to the clutch
Wes, I think she is better now then when you bought the baby. Give that girl a big hug and get her a dozen roses. As for the ac clutch check the relay on other model johnny's they're known to go bad. Again you and your boys did one hell of a job. A full restore on Dad's Farmall next?
Did the rebuild make you sick of this beautiful tractor, or is it your PHOENIX arising out of the ashes? I would have a special appreciation for this tractor if it were me, but I didn't spend all of that money or do all of that work. Great job!
If you don't have a charge it in the ac system the clutch probably will not have power. Low pressure cut out switch. Good job Tim its a good thing you have Wes to help.
its amazing how here in ireland a 130 horse tractor is considered big!, but of course anything bigger would be hitting all the trees down the tight country roads
Is it the low pressure safety switch on the air conditioning that isn't allowing power to the pump. Just wondering they can be a buger to get going them winter air machines.
You may not get electric to the clutch until it is charged. I hav no idea on that Deere but it is common pump won't run without a charge. You'll figure it out, I'll enjoy the video.
Yes good point! There is most likely a pressure switch on the refrigerant line and won't activate the compressor (to protect it from wear) until it's recharged.
Was going to say the same myself, on automotive there would be a high and low pressure switch to save the compressor if there is an issue... might be the same on a Deere...
AC compressor clutch won't get any juice without a charge on the system. The system should have two switches, one on the low side to ensure that the compressor gets refrigerant (and oil). The one on the high side keeps the pressure from getting to high, maybe from a blockage or a bad expansion valve, or not enough air moving across the condenser core to cool it. Jumping the wires at the low pressure switch and you should see the clutch work..

Your a pretty darn good repairman. Anyone who can tear down and rebuild a tractor like that has got good mechanical abilities.
Great series. Well done on saving her, she's a beauty.

Sweet- 4960 looks great! Better than ever. Beautiful job on her boys !
Well done you two! Tonight we open bottle of nice red wine to celebrate!
That is my favorite tractor of all time

I miss our old 4960. Traded it and got an 8130. It was a great tractor and The one I grew up driving on the farm.
As a snot-nosed suburban raised kid i am totally impressed! So the tractor burns is a total loss, and sits in the field for awhile. I think many would sell or part out what was still usable. But you REBUILD it. I am officially blown away.
Great series, Great Job.
Congrats Wes and Tim...man that has to be a great feeling to see that thing run again!
Watched the entire series in one sitting ... now I got tractor ass ... big project and great job!
That was a big big job to rebuild a your burned out 4960 runs and looks great!!
A job well done. It's been a pleasure to watch every obstacle overcome. Doff my cap to ya'll. I'll bet your Dad is fair proud that you got it running, late or not!
Nice to see the tractor running rather than on the scrap heap. Glad you took the time and effort to save her.
i love JD 4960's i wanna do one up myself some day
Outstanding!!!
she went up that hill like she woz on a flat road excellent work wes we new you would get there in the end. just brilliant work my hat of to you and tim.
i agree she is snotty as a 3 year old!! i pulled a 20 ton load of hay up a hill that it would normally not do in 15 th gear but it yanked it up there like nothing..
Cant wait to see this 4960 working in the fields. Great video once again.
She looks nice! Haha glad it's up and runnin! Can't wait till you get to use it
Excellent work!
so happy to see the beast alive again! Wish I had your mechanical knowledge! Your the man Wes!
I love it when a plan comes together. Good job man.
Stellar restore, and looks like some upgrades as well ;)
So nice I watched it twice.
I love the 4960s they are such damn good beautiful mean tractors we mostly use them on our farm but we're going to 8420s now I still love to run the 60s though it was the first tractor I learned to drive nice tractor btw

Can't wait to see it working
hell yeah! glad to see it going again and just in time for planting season. Good Luck with the old girl and stay safe out there.
she looks great wes, just a few little things left. it was definitely worth the wait. take care and be safe.
Well done Wes and Tim ,the 4960 run's again, looking forward to seeing all the last bits and pieces done and still a coat of paint ?
Great job Bud for sticking with it
Great work!
Take care - Hubert, Germany
Mr Tim's four wheeler sounded a bit funny
CarolinaFarmWeld Sounded to me that it's a Automatic Artic Cat,they sound weird to me
Good job on the rebuild , liked the videos
great job on the 4960 love it
Cool. That motor came from where I used to work. : )
do you ever sleep? fixing the sprayer,going to wegners for a tire.Spray the fields
repair the head! post videos! All in a days work for onelonleyfarmer! Cool to watch the hill climb! Nice work! Have a fun weekend!
great work. looks good
Congratulations! Way to see it through.
Congrats, you worked really hard too get it running. Nice job.
Good work dude. It looks and sounds great!!!!
well done Tim, nice footage of Dad pulling the hill :)
Must be nice to have it finally finished ! just some finishing TLC and and the old JD with be good to go ! nice job , lots of GRUNT involved in this one ,LOL

Nice repair.
good show !
Good job. Well done. You should be proud!
the green monster lives again mahahaha. great video
are there any pressure switches in the AC-Circuit? There may be low pressure (prevents freezing) and high pressure (prevent blowing) so without having the circuit filled, there will be no power to the clutch
TOP JOB WES
Yea!!! Its a thing of beauty!! Now get that tractor to work.
Nice Work with that tractor. Good luck with it in the future!
awesome
cool nice tractor
How did you fix that alternator problem - runs real well - how long many hours approximately did it take to do this?????? the hole thing???
Can I ask how much you put back into it to restore the 4960?
Wes, I think she is better now then when you bought the baby. Give that girl a big hug and get her a dozen roses. As for the ac clutch check the relay on other model johnny's they're known to go bad. Again you and your boys did one hell of a job. A full restore on Dad's Farmall next?
It looks great and sounds great. Are you going to get it painted? I know you thought about that on one of previous videos.
Nice job guys. A couple little things to tidy up and she'll be better than new.
AWSOME
Did the rebuild make you sick of this beautiful tractor, or is it your PHOENIX arising out of the ashes? I would have a special appreciation for this tractor if it were me, but I didn't spend all of that money or do all of that work. Great job!
that made my day!!
Wes, do you make your own hydraulic hoses?
Nice!
You win the prize for the biggest rat rod!
lol this rat will pull like a bull..
onelonleyfarmer i got a question whos dodge is that in background
jacob techau desperados truck..
oh never seen it before well thats a hell of a nice tractor you got there
njce job wes hope she pulls like she use too.
If you don't have a charge it in the ac system the clutch probably will not have power. Low pressure cut out switch. Good job Tim its a good thing you have Wes to help.
Nice one Wes :)
its amazing how here in ireland a 130 horse tractor is considered big!, but of course anything bigger would be hitting all the trees down the tight country roads
out of all ur tractors, what is your favorite?
Hey Wes did you ever get around to putting a cab kit in?
Is it the low pressure safety switch on the air conditioning that isn't allowing power to the pump. Just wondering they can be a buger to get going them winter air machines.
Tim nice job, you do much better than I do keeping your mouth shut while holding a camera. I always end up talking to myself.
out of ur fleet what is ur favorite tractor
What channel do you listen to for your music I like country do you can you let me know what you like please thank you
sounds nice
Looking great. Btw Tim should make his own channel, maybe make himself a few extra bucks too.
He does have his own channel
Whats his channel name? Never seen it.
It's Tim Pandy for anyone interested. Just type in his name and it'll be at the top.
awesome it live again ,,,now lets see how much work it can do
you've done an awesome job ,, and it sure is a beauty seeing it out in the sunshine
My condolences for your loss.I m sure many on youtube would have like to have known her .
Nothing runs like that DEERE
Do you still have the 4960 and what do you use it for
great job guys on 4960
9:17 well thats kind of neat 96.1 is also a country station over here on the west coast!
Same here in Eastern Indiana
How long did it take u to rebuild the 4960
YAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You may not get electric to the clutch until it is charged. I hav no idea on that Deere but it is common pump won't run without a charge. You'll figure it out, I'll enjoy the video.

Holy cow I had the biggest smile on my face
Successful resurrection !
Yay!!! Yup, put her work!!
just curious , will your insurance cover it now , being they wrote it off once before ???
Why wouldn't they?
Shockedbywater some will not cover a car that was deemed a total loss ...
congratulations....Job well done! freaks , let's pull something is right!!
Nothing runs like a Deere
Mine too. It is my phone wallpaper
Micah Harman nothing runs like a deer with a Massey up it's rear! lol

Looks like the 4960 is back from the deid
hey wes who blue dodge is that?
