- John Deere 750B sitting in the woods by my house for about 12 years.
It was grown over but the power company just came through and did a bunch of clearing so it is more exposed. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I have been eyeballing a JD 550C sitting next to an old abandoned farmhouse on a state highway here in Louisiana for many years now. After discovering channels like yours here on YT, the curiosity got the best of me. I passed it for years driving down to my old hometown 40 miles south of me. I used an app on my phone to tell me who owns the property. With a little research, I found the owner. He lives five miles from me. lol. I could not find a good phone number for him. I simply drove up to his home and enquired. He tells me he purchased it at auction from the State Forestry here in Louisiana 20 years ago, that he put maybe 400 hours on the machine. He hired an "operator" to do some land clearing. This "operator" somehow managed to crack the right side final drive housing causing a leak. A 5 gallon or fluid/oil in a 10 hour day. He parked it where it now sits 12 or so years ago. I'm told he did his best to patch the crack with some JB Weld, but all that did was slow down the leak just a bit.
The undercarriage looks pretty good for its age. it most definitely has been well maintained being a former state-owned asset. He's an older gentleman now. I asked if he had kids that would be interested in bringing it back to life. He said his kids have zero interest in any of his old equipment. He said "I would take 8k for it. It runs fine and drives and shifts great" It has a 6-way blade and a Massive Winch on the rear and a ripper attachment he would throw-in. I'm considering it as we speak.
Thanks for sharing your find.
Cheers from Louisiana.
Awesome story! If you choose to purchase it I encourage you to make a video(s) to document the story and the repairs.
Wish I had money to just leave my dozer on the side of the road for 12yrs
Need to save that nice machine.
I would like to have it and make it run again
Sprockets cheap. Or can weld new shells on them. Tracks are probably about gone. It's still clean probably worth 10000.
If the engine runs get it running come in with a service truck and weld tips on the sprocket. Move it a 1/4 turn and weld more till it's welded all the way around the pump some more grease in the track tensioner to make it snug and then drive it out. This is after you buy it. Weld the heck out of the sprocket Later
I would get a battery, some fuel and get that machine running.
12 years sitting with an open exhaust stack? That motor is locked up solid.
@@kitchenengineer1731 clean it.
@@yvonrobillard5479 Really ? I want to see that. Do you use dawn dish soap?
@@kitchenengineer1731 yes.
The tracks look pretty worn but everything is repairable!
Seen this type of deal before. Saw an entire quarry abandoned full of half decent machines. Found out owner had back taxes due on land and he was in financial problems. May be this dozer was last thing on owners mind, but he would sell. Make good farm machine. That's a great engine in that dozer.
It's so beautiful!!!!! Hello from corfu Greece!!!!!!!
Sometimes people park things up with good intentions then life moves on, crap happens etc & they are unable to go back for it!
Everything costs $ including recovering a dozer, & if you haven’t got it handy to spend, well sometimes you have to choose to just walk away!
Who knows, track the owner down & make him an offer, he can only say no at worst case scenario!
Nothing runs like a deer except when they legs broke, then they don’t run much at all! 😂😂
I know I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream new movies online?
@Keenan Jimmy I would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it =)
Just need to get it out of there on a flatbed and yes it will move again! Use a skidder or another dozer.
Sad to see😢
Sad to see it here in the state it's in. I'm a John Deere fan myself. Think it will ever run again if somebody comes along and resques it?
I would gladly move it for them!
If the sprockets are that bad imagine how bad the rails are. Is it worth the time and money to resurrect that antique?
WOW...that sucker will need and undercarriage before you could even load it...probably why it was parked..right side sprocket is toast (1:13) and the rails are gone..would be a nice tinker toy tho, about $8K for the bottom and then start fixing the problems. :)
Don't just stand there, crank it up!
That's what I was waiting for! Tease
It is obvious why it is there; the right sprocket is completely worn and the left sprocket is on its last leg. The sprockets are only part of the problem, the chains are probably bad too. Just the parts for a bottom end job is north of $3500
But it's still cheaper to fix it
@@Jdl223 not now after 13 years of rain down the pipe.
Bottom end is gone, that being said I still love old iron. Although when it comes to dozers, pedal steer is not my first choice. Pilot control or stick steer all day.
Wow never seen a sprocket that badly worn.
Can't believe people are that cheap . You buy the heavy equipment but you're to cheap to do the repairs .
Any idea if the owner has plans on selling it ?
where is this
750 B is kinda hard to find anymore
That’s a nice dozer! Getter running and change the sprocket segments! Nothing to it!
When you showed under the seat was that the turbo under the seat? Wow that must burn your butt, literally.
Are you gonna try getting that dozer running? Or not
Couldnt find a parking space in town
If the land it is on is owned by someone that is ok with it being parked there, then other than an eyesore, a zoning or a pollution violation, there really isn’t anything that seems to be in violation or is grounds for removal?
with that exhaust pipe straight up it won't move with that sprocket or engine. Twelve years is a lot of water down the pipe. Don't know if deer has cylinder liners or not. but probably rebuildable.
Did you not notice the raincap ?
Where is it and how much do they want for it?
Cuanto vale ese bulldozer?.
Question is whats he want for it worth rescuing ever bit of it ?
Where is this dozer ill get it running and use it
No you won't.
The grousers wore down I'll bet the carriage is worn out as well needs a bottom overhaul so I'd bet that the cost outweighs the worth or the owner doesn't have the money to haul out or repair. I didn't see anything covering the exhaust pipe I'll bet the motors froze up as well.
@@greentree328 I look for people finding old machines in the woods. Most of the time they do not look half as good as this machine, which other than the undercarriage looks perfect. Till you try to turn it over. froze solid as hell after twelve years and no exhaust cover.
That's like saying my car had a flat tire, so I just parked it on the side of the road and abandoned it.
I was pulling out of a parking lot with my dad pulling out not far behind. I stopped for an ambulance to go by and some idiot tried passing me and slammed into the car i was driving and tried to take off. I got out and ran after him eventually getting ahead of his car and standing in front so he wouldn't take of again. My dad, who saw everything from where he was driving stopped and got out going up to the window to request drivers details. The driver took off with me on the hood making sharp turns left and right, not that the road wasn't curvy enough, driving as fast as he could. I was on there for a long time when he relized he wasn't throwing me off so he stopped, got out and tried running after me with a screwdriver. By then enough people saw what was happening and road down is plate number. So i got off doubled back, and got the number from someone. When i returned to where it started, there were medics and police. So some time checking me out physically and giving info to the police, and it was decided i should go to er just incase though i was fine. Where am i getting at? After all this, actually while i was in er, they took my car to the police lot, and tgen my father looked for his car. Then the police helped him look for his car. Where can it be, must be stolen. Additional police report and looking. Eventually he found it, exactly where he stopped, behind the offending driver when he asked for his details, in a no stopping zone with the engine running (i think) and his laptop computer inside and untouched (and no parking tickets). The trauma of seeing his kid dragged of at high speed on the front of a car hood made him forget where he parked his vehicle. So you never know what was going through the tractor operators mind, causing him to leave it there. Though it was probably because it was a p.o.s. not worth purting anymore money into. And everyone says "i'd take it and fix it up", hell i would too, that doesn't mean it is a good idea.
What a line of bullshit.
esta maquina esta en estado de abandono como si fuera chatarra llena de maleza y sus orugas estan semi enterradas y cubiertas demasiado oxidadas, tiene años que no la encienden o la usan esta entera la estacionaron y la abandonaron.-
Why do people just leave their perfectly running equipment like that? Even with a little problem, it's still valuable. Now its sitting out in the element's and just rusting away to scrap. What a shame.
I think the owner should put a for sale sign on it before it turn in to a rust away
Bet track chains are done too
sad needs to be rescued
how much will it cost to get one of those bulldozer repaired
8 to 10 thousand without knowing what the engine is like
What town is this in
Wonder machine start please.
There's one in lou ky on a property no one knows who owns it . Just rotting away
Faz esse motor voltar a vida !!
Looks like it was sold by Grappone Industrial in Pembroke N.H. 603-225-2769 (1:19)...I would guess it isnt too far away from there.
It's not abandoned and the property owner keeps a close eye on it. and yes it's been 13 years.
@@greentree328 Bill is a little bit eccentric. he doesn't need the money and hasn't needed the machine. he's semi retired and likes restoring his collection of farm tractors. he left a front end loader in a gravel pit for as long once, then he had a use for it and he went and moved it. just his nature.
@Roger Loesch lol, very well could be
The under carriage is gone! Lol lots of money to rebuild it.
Get it running
I never find a dozer or skid steer in the woods.
Buy it and replace the sprockets. Then re-sell it.
I bet it would run
What has become of it?
les apuesto que si me vieran limpiándola y tratando de encender el motor para revivirla por el tiempo parada, de inmediato le sale dueño que prefieren verla podrirse antes que venderla o cederla a alguien que la necesitase para hacer trabajos en alguna granja.-
Trust me it’ll start....
Also those tracks are way to tight no wonder that sprocket it worn out
Mine. At least it would be if i knew where it was. another owner or not. It is abandoned plain and simple. If no attempt has been made to repair it or claim it , it is yours bro.
What's the matter with you? Are you just stupid? How about someone come to your place and take your stuff? You would end up in jail or hospital or worse if you tried to steal my stuff.
Wonder who the owner is??
Bill Huckins, New Hampton, N.H. The property belongs to Greg Turmel, Rumney NH. It's technically not abandoned.
Tragic video. I want my 3:55 back.
I can't believe how cheap some people are.
Needs undercarriage and track chains pads and sprockets
So could someone purchase this?? Please reply. Thanks you.
Rhino Wrecker just take it.
@@OOpSjm the property owner will not allow anyone to touch it. the dozer belongs to Bill Huckins in New Hampton, N.H. He just doesn't have a need for it at the moment.
Easy fix 6 hours max
Abandoned? I doubt it.
Sad
Get yourself a Russian diesel mechanic, he'll get it running and drive it out of there.
YES, THEIR GOOD.
What the fuck you gonna do about it?
??
I think there's more wrong here than it looks....undercarriage is shot....probably cost more to repair than this machine is worth....I don't see an economic path for this machine....dont see the point of owning a piece of equipment if not to make $$$
The owner died in prison
B
🖒🖒😍😍😍
What a waste
What was the point of looking it over unless you were in a position to acquire it? Yes it can be fixed, but until I've got (or can get) the authority to work on something, I'm not going to worry about a machine. No offense meant, but you wasted your time.
To make this video..

It’s in the woods because it’s a deer 😉
