      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.

    Dear Joseph,
    Normally a John Deere tractor is one of the most reliable tractors you can purchase. I think the thing has been put aside due to problems with the gearbox and that this tractor has been used for parts in the meantime, so I think that’s why many parts are missing. That the engine runs is a good sign for restoring this tractor. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

    "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!

    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.

    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.

      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.
