- This 1985 John Deere 750 sat in a barn for 20-30 years. Only 166 original hours. Changed fluids, few small parts, fixed tires, and bleed diesel fuel lines, and then it fired right up!
I’ve got a 1982 950 with 1800 hours. Bought it 8 years ago. No problems! Built like a tank
That is quite the little workhorse, nice tractor and a great job getting it back up and running.
I have a 1985 650 with a front loader and 4 wheel drive. It just turned 1000 hours. This is the toughest tractor made.
Nice score. We just picked up one of these at a local auction for a great price. Little rust on sheet metal but a great deal. Love it
I have one with a loader on it. It’s my prime mover . Tough little machine . They are big enough to do real work and small enough that one man can Handle most trouble it might get into. Parts on line are not really a problem yet. Then again I haven’t had to get that much. I did put in anew clutch after moving a 2.5 ton rock....my bad. Keep up on the fluids and filters and they are very dependable.
One of the toughest little tractors Deere built. What a find.
John Deere didn't build it. Yammer built these with a few changes of they're existing tractors
@@gregambrose2566 that is true. Still a great little tractorm
I have a 1050. I get parts from hoye yammer parts. Com
@@gregambrose2566 is your 1050 mfwd?
It’s basically a Yanmar
Wow! Lucky you! I have a 650 that my dad bought used about 30 years ago. Yep. The plastic sediment bowl will crack and leak. Had that happen. Also had to replace the fuel cap/gauge assembly because water was getting in the fuel. So I got good a bleeding lines until I figured that out.
I saw another one once on FB Marketplace they couldn’t crank. And sure enough there was an oily spot right beneath the sediment bowl.
Only problem with these is they’re discontinuing some of the parts. I really need a new hydraulic fluid cap but they’re discontinued. Also watch the boot around the shifter. It may dry rot and leak water into the hydraulic fluid.
Teenager happy face reminded me in the 80’s when I was 15 old, working in cotton farm when I was in school vacation, my dad was the manager, he no like it but I like much.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏼👍👍👍
I need one of these finds. Awesome.
I've got a 1050 I got in a similar way I've had it for 7 years with zero issues great yanmar deere tractors
Only deere thing on that tractor is the serial number tags
I had a 750 almost identical. Late 70’s. Had about a 30-35 hp diesel. Ran like a top.
I,ve got a 970 bought it new love it.
This is such a cool tractor!
Put 4 new tires on good to go Great find 👍
I'd put a more expensive oil filter on it than a Fram
@G Money You are correct sir!
I hope you got the brush mower to?
I would love to have one of those. I really want a 950 like I ran years ago but 4x4 would be nice. I would settle for whatever I found if I got a deal like that though. Did you guys get the mower and and attachments?
No plastic on that.
Bulletproof tractor. Great find.
No america steel either
You're very lucky in 3 ways. One, finding that tractor in the first place. 2nd, very lucky you didn't blow that diesel because it can NOT handle starting fluid and 3rd lucky you didn't have the huge mouse nest catch on fire with the wires chewed through. Very lucky on all 3. You should have fixed the tires so you could load it on the trailer and checked everything out before attempting to start. If a diesel doesn't start right up there is something wrong, find and fix the problem. Glad to see you did find out how to correctly bleed the system but that busted clear fuel guage is a good indication that the fuel tank probably needs to be cleaned. Yes, I do have a nice 1984 750, 4 wd, with power steering and the turf tires. Love it. Hopefully you picked up the 3 pt. cutter and what was the green thing by the front door?
Yes on all three! 1) Extremely lucky to find it. 2) This is my first experience with a diesel, so I just didn't know. And 3) I had cleaned most of the mouse nest out, it wasn't until I dug deeper that I discovered how much was still in there - mouse nest + diesel fuel (from leaky return line) + exposed wires.... very lucky indeed!! This is why I keep going to church... :)
I owned one a few years ago. Seat is tiny and the place for your feet is really small. Tough to work clutch and brakes with size 13 feet. I put a lot of weight on front end to use a shredder. Sold it for $5,000 to a guy who put on a rototiller. Since low 1st gear is so slow, it should work ok for that.
Yeah, it’s tough to get on and off of cause foot space is so small. Plus the clutch is too close to the steering arm that it’s easy to miss the clutch sometimes.
I’ve been rototilling with it this week and it handles a 50” tiller without any trouble in 2nd gear.
STOP with the starting fluid!!!
Dont worry the 2nd ring will catch all the unburnt starting fliud and help separate the ring lands whens she does fire lol
166 hrs? The darn thing is new!
Like brand new yanmar tractor painted green
Wish I could find a project like this I need a tractor for. My business I found a ford 1220 for 6500 is that a good deal it has a loader and a belly mower
That's really cool! Next, you should post some videos of you out in the field working with it.
That looks like a 3 cylinder Yanmar engine. Looks like almost the same one they use in the straight truck reefers.
It is a 3 cylinder Yanmar!
The whole tractor was built by Yanmar. The 50 series were built in Japan and badged as Deere's until the 55 series replaced them in '86.
@@MichaelTJD60 The 50 series was replaced by the gear transmission 70 series, also made by Yanmar. The 55 series were all hydrostatic and made by Yanmar too.
Man i wish i could find a deal like that...
I buy that in a heartbeat!
Could you tell me the type of injector line socket you have or purchased?
17 mm diesel injector fuel line socket. I bought on Amazon a 3-piece (14mm, 17mm, 19mm) for $54, but now I see it is $74. Good luck.

@@ptnelsonster Thank you so much!
@@ptnelsonstero
i have the yanmar version of that tractor. which is the 226d.
Most folks will tell you Fram is about as good as roll of toilet paper when it comes to filtering.
Fluid fill tires.
No fluid. Im glad, else the rims would probably be rusted and shot after sitting for so long. Now that I’m using it, a little extra weight would help though.
Didn’t you take the mower also ?
Yes, I’ve got the mower. Haven’t used it yet. I’ve hardly looked at it so I’m not sure if it needs any work. It will get plenty of use this summer.
if it sat for 30 years how did the late model mower get behind it ? mower is less than 10 years old, you can tell by the stickers
This is what the owner told me. But it clearly didn't sit in that exact spot for 30 years; it had to have sat outside for a decade or so, by the looks of the rust and sun-bleaching. If it had sat in that barn the entire time then it would have been in much better shape.
@@ptnelsonster fair enough, I'm a farmer and i have tractors that only move once a year, for less than an hour or 2
That would be a killer belly mower.
This one doesn’t have the front power take off so I can’t do the OEM belly mower.
Wow just wow
I would run some marvel in that fuel for awhile.
FYI Starting fluid is a no no on these. Great way to blow up a piston.
Why?
@@thepitpatrol it can get in between the rings then when it does ignite well use your imagination
@@thepitpatrol it can cause severe detonation and break pistons. Worst case it can blow the head or oil pan off
@@ericvogel1126 it can, but people in my family have used it for 40 years
The secret is to know when and how to use it, not just issue a balnket statement that it is bad.
@@thepitpatrol You are absolutely wrong there buddy. You must be careful using starting fluid on all diesels but this engine cannot handle it at all. It's the design of this diesel. This is a precombustion chamber design. Some diesels even come with remote starting fluid assist from the factory including John Deere equipment. Says right here in my original John Deere 750 owners manual. Page 18, "Do Not Use Starting Fluid in this engine." Even has a slash through a can of John Deeres fluid. Talks about using the Thermo-Start which is standard equipment and/or using coolant heater that I installed and using booster battery. So you go ahead and use the starting fluid on your Yanmar diesels but I'm not willing to explode mine. I'll plug it in for 2 hrs and have it start like summer time and avoid a major bill.
How did you find the tractor?
My buddy was was helping me there, he cares for the owner who is in poor health, he connected me with the owner.
@@ptnelsonster Man you are lucky. Right place, right time I assume all these barn finds are.
THIS SHOULD BE CALLED HOW TO FUCK PISTON RIGS WITH STARTER FLUID!!!!!!!!! CHUCK THAT SIT AWAYYYYYY
How much did you pay??????
Did he pay for it before or after it ran
I always drag them away as junk cause I don't like letting the people I bought it from see it run and then they think I screwed them over with a low ball offer
great little tractor, lord help you getting parts
Him spraying all that starting fluid made me cringe.
If the hour meter is accurate, that was probably the first time she'd had a whiff. Doesn't make it ok, but it looked and sounded like he got away with it.

This Yanmar is from your side of the pond! It's a great little tractor; love it.
She's a green Yanmar.
I did a wheelie on mine
But I got different tiers
We have a 750, no mfwd.
Wanna sell it?
Forza IRL
Yanmar junk, don’t ever get it hot.
Amen to that!
