  • You haven't lived until you've heard a two cylinder 1959 John Deere under load... but you'd better bring ear plugs! Pop! Pop!

    As the owner of a JD70, it is truly something you only can understand after spending time behind the wheel for a while. It gets into your soul and each startup is a new spark of energy!

    Thanks for the video. That’s a great old tractor! My ears are still ringing from hundreds of hours on a ‘59 JD 730 in my youth. I second the ear plug vote! Ours had the pony motor start and no duals.

    My neighbor had a late model 730 with flattop fenders and rollomatic trycycle. Loved that sound in the mornings. We had an A but the rest Allis. A spin of those 730 wheels in wer sand and you were stuck.

    I have alot of hours on 720 diesel, 620, A, G, 70 gas, 40 and a B nothing is like hearing a 2 cylinder under a good load great video never saw a 2 banger with dauls that should make it snort in right loads. Ps I once took a wedding party home on a friend of mines 730 gas with a straight pipe not fun on the hills should have had ear protection

    Spent many years on a JD 720, basically the same tractor..it was a late model 720, had electric start and 3pt. When they started this 730 it immediately took me back to 1972, I could even smell the dirt. Could’ve done without the singing though..

    We had the same Eversman land plane but without the S tine scarifiers attachment it was junked out by my dad in 64 or 65 it had belonged to my Granddad. I think he used it behind either a 70 JD or U Moline... but it was a good leveling tool

  • @Ham68229
    @Ham68229 Рік тому +2

    Ah, the sounds of the awesome 2 cylinder. I've always loved the "lettered" and the 20/30 series 2 cylinders. Biggest misconception with these old JD's, everyone always talks about the HP, it's really about the torque these low rpm engines produced. Love these old tractors. Still have my grand dad's '35 non styled "B", really need to get it restored. Cheers :)

    • @terryanderson4366
      @terryanderson4366 Рік тому

      I have many new parts for B unstyled. I can let you have cheep. I was to inherit but another family member had a lawsuit against the executors. To settle, I lost the tractor but had bought almost everything to restore. Let me know if interested.

    The land plane I bought in 1981 was a Scott built in Dewitt Arkansas it was a 16 by 60 and I pulled it usally 2 to 4 times across the field first length wise then at 45 degrees then at opposite 45 degrees and lastly at 90 degrees to the first pass I made... it was a fantastic tool.

    My dad had a JD 730 diesel electric start but, sadly it gave up the ghost in 1970 broke crankshaft. Replaced by JD 4520 supposedly 125 hp tractor. We had a 1967 4020 that would do just as much work...

    • @kevindavis7822
      @kevindavis7822 2 роки тому +1

      Yes that 4020 was truly a Workhorse I think the best tractor John Deere made to date

    • @davidsignor7931
      @davidsignor7931 Рік тому +1

      @kevindavis7822 4010, 4020, 3010, 3020 are still used everyday on a lot of farms they are still some of the best tractors out there for their horsepower range

  • @robertpayne2717
    @robertpayne2717 2 роки тому +2

    The 730 diesel electric start had the decompression pedal as a starting aid it was a mechanical devise that was linked to the engine valve train by pushing it down with your left foot it opened the valves on the engine to disallow any compression allowing fast starting RPM you would release it and the engine usally started right up..

    Friend of mine had one of those animals. It had what was left of a muffler on it. But it sure would talk pullin the 4 16s he had a little wider than stock tire with more wheel weights on it, but it sure was a pulling machine in the field. So we would banter back n forth over green vs Red... 😎👍🇺🇸

    That would sure benefit from putting a turbo on there - use up that fuel you’re blowing out the exhaust, likely sound a lot better too (never liked the sound of those old twins).
