  • R.W.P.: Ran when parked! How many times have you heard that?! This is Part 1 of attempting to start a 1980 John Deere Track Loader that has been sitting for years.
    Spoiler Alert: The battery Disconnect Switch was the guilty party in preventing the engine crank.

    I just figured something out. If your tractor ever breaks, put it up for sale for to have a price but say you’ll negotiate. Then you get some guy to come out to your house and put a ton of work into it fixing things up trying to get it going and then don’t go down on the price so you either sell it for a lot or you get somebody else to fix your tractor for free. ;)
    From what I saw I think it’s gonna run. For whatever reason I like to watch RUclips channels were people fix all the diesels and once they see the smoke coming out even if it doesn’t start everybody seems to get excited like that’s a good thing so I’m thinking it’s going to start eventually. Also a lot of them use that ether starter spray so I can grab a can of that.

      Exactly. My problem is.... I have to acquire an inventory of decrepit tractors in order to execute that genuis plan of yours.
      Excitement: ✔️
      Starting fluid: ✔️

      @@OffGridandWhiskey I think the plan is pretty good, as well drain almost all the gas out so they got to put gas in it, maybe even the same with oil and hydraulic fluid and take all the little parts like switches and knobs and just pull the suckers off and keep some broken ones around. Then once it started knocked her can of ether down inside so they can’t get it out easily then of course they get mad about the price and leave and you just saved $1000. ;)
      I almost feel guilty thinking this way 😂

      Don't forget the case of Old English 800's to classify the ad as 'PENDING'

      Lol. Another thing that makes me feel guilty. There was a liquor store that had a chain-link storage bin in back and the old English 800 was all we could reach through there and grab. Panels so we got a lot of that and a lot of Andre champagne Boonesfarm and cold duck. Lol poor kids.

    So the other one fell through? Talk to anyone about those bent frames?

      The Dozer deal is still on the table. I'm just exploring all options. Bent frames, like every other part.... $$$$$$.
