Spent many many hours on one of those.... we were lucky ours had electric start. Best tractor to cultivate, front mount of course, will run a silo blower all day on 5 gallons of fuel and will pull a 4 bottom plow. Until the 4020 came along this had to be one of the best JD ever built.
I can remember running a 720 and an ol R when I was a kid they were easy on fuel and worked hard that was Bach in the 70's they were ol back then good to see you guy fixing one.
My Grandfather had a 720, 520, B, an A and horses before that. We have them restored now (the tractors not the horses) and looking like new. I spent many hours on them growing up. The 720 was a good workhorse for sure. The B was kid friendly and the first tractor I learned on. Spent time wrenching on all of them, back when you could get parts. But at least they don't require computer chips and you can't get squeezed that way. LOL
We are keeping the pony for old time sake I'd like to find another and make it electric start for a chore tractor it sure is nice to jump on the 620 hit the pedal and go!
Cool! Haven't heard one of these in a while. We used to have a 730 . The pups are indeed expensive to work on, we had to rebuild ours once and I don't even think it lasted a whole summer before it cratered again... That was like 40 some years ago though and our mechanical skills were a little sketchy, lol!
What we've done to break gas motors loose is mix atf with diesel I think, but that was on my great grandpa's 1939 A, it had sit for I'd say 40 years in the one Quonset and then before that in a old shed, which that A after sitting so long was still free, you could spin the flywheel pretty good
When they are well worn, they can be quite a challenge. When they were 10 years old, you could turn the steering wheel with one finger if it had a 2 row picker on it or a loader bucket full of manure.

Can't believe that thing started! One of the best tractors on the planet!

The most beautiful Diesel engine sound
As said “Nothing Runs Like A Deere”!

Those diesel Johnny Poppers have a nice sound all their own. Good find.
Yes they do!! After harvest I'll get back working on this project
Excellent video and hope show more videos on old 720 John Deere tractor on fix up too!
As soon as harvest is over we will get back on the 720 project and get some more videos so stay tuned and thanks for watching!!!
I hope you all pulled it decompressed to build oil pressure after sitting all that time. You are very fortunate it pull starts so easily.
We converted ours to a24 volt start system the same as a 730 diesel

A 730 is next on our list to find!!! Yeah them little ponies are definitely not cheap to rebuild!!!
Just so ya know .you can use a 12volt battery to start it but have to be switched over to 6volt right after .but great lil vid godbless
Nice find !
A two cylinder diesel has a very unique sound to them which is cool
Yes especially when you work them the get that real deep sound

Well I got some PB Blaster in it now so we will see if that works if not I'll give the atf a try!!
@@dirtgrainsteel just talked to the head honcho it was Brake fluid and diesel fuel we mixed, it's worked before for some friends of ours
SWEET! Hope to see more video on the 720!
Doc
You definitely will be seeing more!!!
8:54 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!
John deere two cylinder factory power steering is a joke
