    Nice video, almost a period piece. Three calm, unflustered old men working peacefully together in a lovely cluttered shed and succeeding at their task.

    Mr. Wiley, I grew up on those ol'Jonny Poppers. I love it. Thank you for bringing us this save of history. I love it!!!! I spent a lot of time on the B, H, 630, and 730 series John Deere tractors.
    If you watched me on the Hayden Alabama Podcast, I told a story about our old 630 JD.
    Have a blessed day, and thank you again for great content.

    Nice to catch up to another video of yours again it's nice to see what you're doing with these tractors of working on trying to get them running after they've sat for a long time it's nice to watch these videos because when your 60s older tractors up I feel like I go down memory lane when I see some of these older tractors

    Two compression-release petcocks are located under the engine at the rear of the cylinders, which makes it easier to start.

    That John Deere aka "Popping John" because the way it sounds...
    My grandfather had one when i was a young boy he used in the garden and to run the big saw mill with occasionally had a long wide belt that went over the drum on the right side of the tractor...
