Yes sir!👍👍I started driving a 8n@ 6 when I was 8 we acquired a 7000 and yes like yourself it brings back some pretty good memories. That tractor was awesome.👍👍👊
A John deere 8640 is going to be really nice to have around!! Even better to have a tractor that was once in the family back!! My grandpa has has 2 8630s and a 8440 and a 8430! Impressive pretty sure he bought them all new too and hes been using them even since!!! Keep us posted one your's!
You might already know this but after it has sat awhile, before starting I recommend checking the oil. Also loosen the engine oil drain plug carefully until something comes out.. if all you get it is good. If the first thing to come out is coolant, not so good. Drain that off until you get oil and take note of how much you get. If just a few drops or a tiny amount, Run it, but check oil often and check drain plug again the next day before start-up... 8640's are notorious for having head or head gasket problems. Also there are liners that can let coolant in the oil. Also, at least where I am, the 619 engines are obsolete and hard to find.
But, if you get a large amount of coolant out the oil drain and your oil level is way overfill, don't run it until you find the issue, as antifreeze is bad for engine.
@@MichiganMarineFarmerthat starter sounds like a cow making that noise sounds funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have 2 8640's and 8650. Personally, except for when the hood needs lifted, Imo the 8640's are easier to do daily oil and coolant checks and crop ups. Because on 8650 you have to lift the hood every time to check or add coolant or to add oil. The 8640's you only need to lift hood to fix a problem under there.
Nice to see these classic john deere tractors being restored hoping farming simulator 22 will release it no computers just hp torque diesel pto hydraulic
I love that tractor. Glad you guys got it back. Did your grandpa buy it new?👍💯 No technician needed if you have problems. Unlike the ones we use. Breaking down sucks with these internationals. But they sure are comfortable though.
Just found your channel. Im a die hard international guy, but i love the fact that you found grandad's old tractor!!! Hope you can bring her back to life!!!👍 Great video, and i subbed ya. Im also in Michigan, just south of Travers city .
My Grandpa's auction was in 2014, Sept or so i think. Wish i could find his Farmall B "Culti-vision" And the Old Skid steer. Love that Old Ford sitting next too the 8640. They selling that?
Why is someone not using this valuable asset on their farm. At 275 hp this would fit right in with the modern tractors except for technology - but that too can be added.
@MichiganMarineFarmer they're really easy starting engines🤷♂️ as long as they have fuel they start, unless it's below 32 degrees they'll crank a little longer, but still Fire up fine.
Kool find i love these old jd. But Yall better get somebody who know what they're doing. Cause yall gon, burn something up, or ruin a good engine if fuel is primed up properly no starter fluid is needed but it Is your video keep them coming
Sorry you're getting so many snarky comments. Truth is, the bendix on the starter wasn't engaging the flywheel. Pull the starter, free up/lube the bendix and you should be good to go, if you haven't already done that.
Is that Marine as in the U.S Marine Corps? I spent 8 years in the Marine Corps. So, Semper Fi. It's always good to see something good done. Congrats on getting it running
Your solenoid does 2 things at once turn the engine over and engage the starter drive Pull the starter take to a shop and see if yo need a selonide or starter or both. Good luck
@@MichiganMarineFarmerpretty good but it started leaking hydraulic fluid and so now it has to be worked on but it got us through the rest of the field work and now we have more time to work on it
I have an 8650. Deere has stopped making the 619 engine for these and I can't get one. Even a used block that isn't cracked is almost nn existent.... I am current waiting for a bock to be tested. It's too bad, cause these can put out when they are running good.
Wow, that's nice!! Most farmers I know would walk over a mile of broken glass for a tractor like that, parked and left untouched, I just don't get it!! That's alot of money sitting outside wasting away
@@MichiganMarineFarmer I’m a history buff myself but John Deere has basically went woke and sold out to cheap ass parts and I won’t and don’t agree with it if you want a tractor built in USA every bolt buy kubota
That Ford 7000 behind it brings back a lot of memories.
Yes sir!👍👍I started driving a 8n@ 6 when I was 8 we acquired a 7000 and yes like yourself it brings back some pretty good memories. That tractor was awesome.👍👍👊

Brought you by Michigan Marine..The exclusive starter tool 😆😆 great video 👍👍👍
Appreciated
We got a tractor back from my father in law and one from my Dad. Glad you got 2 of your family’s tractors back!
Thanks. Going to pick up white one next few days
Really neat! Sounds like there is a good back story to this video.
Yep so glad we got to find her! Thanks for support! I'll send a shirt
That’s so awesome!
Appreciate the support!
Gonna post the rebuild and her ripping hopefully

Hell yeah that would be a pain!! Thanks for sharing and the watch
That is so cool to buy back a tractor/s your family once owned. I keep hoping I’ll stumble across my old JD 5020.
Where did it go? Any ideas?
@@MichiganMarineFarmer not really. I’ve asked around, but it’s probably long gone and scrapped out by now.
Nice to see these classic john deere tractors being restored hoping farming simulator 22 will release it no computers just hp torque diesel pto hydraulic
Hell yeah. Come by the farm ill put you in a real simulation. No a.c !! Haha
My dad currently has 2 tractors that belonged to his Grandfather, and I have one that was my grandfather’s
Lucky man! so glad we found them
The sale is finalized!! We bought both tractors! Picking up soon!!!
What a beast.
Same horse power as my ex wife 😀
I love that tractor. Glad you guys got it back. Did your grandpa buy it new?👍💯 No technician needed if you have problems. Unlike the ones we use. Breaking down sucks with these internationals. But they sure are comfortable though.
No he owned it about 15 years. Thabks for watching and the support

Yeah im lucky to have found them
This is so cool. I frequently wonder where my dad's Ford 9600 is. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in that seat.
Yeah awesome I couod find them
Oh yeah 9600 ford Real beauty! Hard to find now!
@@SchnelleKat😊
Maybe it’s right next to their 8640
I’ve driven one before for a local farmer
Why is someone not using this valuable asset on their farm. At 275 hp this would fit right in with the modern tractors except for technology - but that too can be added.
Should jump the starter across the starter relay on the firewall. Starter is probably fine
Cool appreciate the tip
As long as the fuel system is fully primed, there shouldnt be any need for either on a warm day. As long as the starter works they fire right up.
Well brother wish I had faith like you. Would probably be married still 🤔

The old blue ford would be a good tractor to
Not in the budget!!
I’d love to have our 8630 back. Just to have it. Not sure why or the 4020 I learned on
Yeah drove grandpa's grandpa's 4020 all day. Thanks for sharing

I used to drive one of those in the 70s
Nice! Back when the a.c worked
@@MichiganMarineFarmer yep, that was one hell of a nice tractor back then
@@logpile1318 biggest tractor we own
Your solenoid does 2 things at once turn the engine over and engage the starter drive
Pull the starter take to a shop and see if yo need a selonide or starter or both.
Good luck
Yep got new starter. Gonna try again soon. Thank you for tip and watch
That’s awesome you got it back! Do you think that guy would sell that Ford tractor?
He is interested in selling it
Solid find gents. The old ford worth saving also?
Not Grandpa's. Sure it is. Not in the wants or budget right now
Appreciate the watch and comment
I spent many hours running a 8640
I havnt had much time. Looking forward to having a chance!
power quad transmission 16 by 4 or synchro plus 12 by 3?
What a coincidence cause I have a John Deere 8640 to I just used it today
Hows it running? Where you located?
@@MichiganMarineFarmerpretty good but it started leaking hydraulic fluid and so now it has to be worked on but it got us through the rest of the field work and now we have more time to work on it
The thumbnail made me watch your video
Good to know! Thanks!
There goes 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back
Sorry you didn't enjoy. I appreciate the watch. Can send you shirt to make up for it
I have an 8650. Deere has stopped making the 619 engine for these and I can't get one. Even a used block that isn't cracked is almost nn existent.... I am current waiting for a bock to be tested. It's too bad, cause these can put out when they are running good.
🚜 💪
Thanks for watching!
I’d be worried that a lot of the o rings and caskets will be dry rotted.
Yeah it was in rough shape. Got a lot fixed but still a lot needed
If it's not green it's not to been seen y'all Andy the jd man
They are beautiful
Did that have a Cummins engine in it? The intake looks like it
Hear starter motor running. But bendix is not working properly.
Needed starter re built
Near Flint Michigan where are you at ??
South lyon
Do you have a video of it starting?
Just put starter in . Havnt got it to roll. Baling hay like crazy. Gonna next few days and drive it home
Thanks for watching!
Lol fired right??? Wow yours and mines a Lil different I guess..
The whole video it never started but he said it started right up????
Did catch for a second. That all I wanted was to see her turn over
Should probably not spray a whole can of ether when it is barely rolling over?? Doesn't need 10 sprays to get it going.
Was that a shorthair in the truck?
Yes it is. GOOSE . He's in 90% of videos. I know who's cute 😄
@@MichiganMarineFarmer I have two of them. They are awesome hard working dogs and always loyal!
@UplandHunter354 yes sir! My 3rd one. Won't have anything else!!
I want the ford
It's for sale I believe .
9000?
Is the 8000 for sale. No that’s a tractor
Yes it is
Hate to price them tires
Why would someone buy this if they are not going to use it?? That’s worse than me buying a kubota L2850 to mow less than 1 acre.
Well better then destroying it I guess
Wow, that's nice!! Most farmers I know would walk over a mile of broken glass for a tractor like that, parked and left untouched, I just don't get it!! That's alot of money sitting outside wasting away
Forsure. Thanks for the watch/ comment
Please follow up with starting as I’m about to jump out of my seat
Hell yeah will do! Busy baling hay while sun's out then will make more videos
Appreciate you caring :)
What part of Michigan? Im.from. Kalamazoo
Whitmore lake
Absolutely no idea why you are asking me about starting a tractor l work with slot car engines only.
My bad bud.
Ill haze myself
Is the Ford for sale.
Yes
Fords the better tractor 👍
@@Florida239 I like the history behind the Deere
@@MichiganMarineFarmer I’m a history buff myself but John Deere has basically went woke and sold out to cheap ass parts and I won’t and don’t agree with it if you want a tractor built in USA every bolt buy kubota
@@Florida239 can't afford Kubota haha
The answer is no.
Took a few tries. We got her!
Just hire someone that knows what their doing to get it started
What was the point of this? Big failure.
Got it to roll over
Hit selienoid
Keep these guys away from equipment.
Why? Please tell me how we did it wrong?
@MichiganMarineFarmer probably just a troll.
@tractorjunkco9431 all good. Appreciate the support
@@MichiganMarineFarmerBeating a Starter with a Bad or Dirty Bendix is not the solution.
