Oh Ross, seeing your videos usually bring back memories for me! Buddy is s slacker today, letting the cows through the gate! When I was a kid, and farmers helped e/o out harvesting, we helped a neighbor pick corn. He didn't own the farm, and it didn't have much for cribs, so he always built temporary picket cribs in his driveway. But he had a dog that would sit all day long, and keep the cows in the pasture so the gate could be left open to drive through with loads. Then at the end of the day, he would just point at the cows, and the dog would go get them for the evening milking! Maybe if you leave that battery door open a little, it wouldn't be such a cozy place to your little mouse and he would move on? We had a JD MT my grandpa bought new. Mom raked a lot of the hay with it, and after she broke off a couple of gate post with the axle, they got cut off with a torch! I'd like to find that tractor again, and it won't be hard to know it with the chopped off axles! Keep the videos coming Ross!
On an IH 656 I took that solenoid off and put in a regular load needle. That tractor doesn't get run very hard, so he just shuts off the gas when it's parked.
I'd bet you're pretty glad to get that fuel shut off on there. I haven't had too much problems with the cows getting into the hay storage area when the gate is opened, but my youngest son helps me or I help him to put them back if that happens. Good to see the hydraulic valves you rebuilt are staying dry so far. Another enjoyable video, thanks Ross, I hope you day goes well!
That John Deere 2020 looks like a little sweet heart it really looks like it gives you everything that it has. So what you do to make it "more better" does look like a labor of love.
Neighbor has a 2020 that quit. Took that solonoid apart and used some thin wire to tie that needle open. Been running ever since. I would buy a new Zenith carb before spending that much for a solonoid. If you have an engine that diesels, there is too much carbon on the valves and in the combustion chambers. Get the engine hot, take the air intake hose off the carb, run it at high rpm and spray water from a spray bottle into the carb. That steam will help break up that carbon. The carbon stays hot enough to cause ignition after you shut the engine off causing the dieseling. I didn’t believe this either until I tried it. It works. May have to do it a couple times if it’s real bad. Engines that just putt around and don’t get used very hard to get up to temperature are more prone to bad carbon build up.
Ross, I kind of thought maybe Buddy the dog moved the shovels in the middle of the drive 😂🤣😂 and I'm not a big fan of the snow in the cold myself for Iowa. Thanks Michael
Ross would not say anything about so many farmers of that period of time, who would not buy diesel tractor, or buying under size tractor because of such a big change in farming. old ways are truely hard to change, older farmers were well set in not borrowing big money, or stepping out with farming more land.
Just wondering if have a 1959 oliver 550 and the three point is constantly raising and lowering about an inch, weither there's weight or non. Is there a valve to check by the pump? Hydraulics are full. Any hell would be appreciated.
$700 😢😢😢 Geeeeze... Thats like the price of a whole other tractor. I retaught myself to shut the tractor off in gear and use the clutch to avoid a much cheaper anti desiel solenoid. But I'm cheap .😂
My goodness that’s a lot of money!! And I get it that you want to fix it correctly but $700 seems way too much for that. Darn sure starts easy in this chilly Willy weather.
What is Winter? Some think it is beautiful but then there are the ones that have to get out and work in it. Cows? Animals that have brains that are attracted by crazy things. Burn a little pile of brush and they will all be standing around watching it. If they could strike matches they would be called Pryomaniacs. Oh well, they are just a challenge that keeps your mind busy and your vocabulary to the point you could be a sailor.
😊😊 HI ROSS animals are funny 😮😮 like that food they don't like they don't want 2 eat it its just the way it is when they get hungry enough they will eat it or go hungry cats dogs or other wise 😮😮 OMG 1 18 2O25
Great video Ross. Buddy the dog seemed happy. Nice to see the John Deere up and running good again and not leaking. A great day. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you have grandpa’s tractor working so well

great video proud you got your grandpa's tractor going again hopefully with no leaks
Another adventure with Buddy the Dog, I see Ross has now has a hard surface driveway without the expense of concrete or asphalt
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Ribeyes anyone!!!!
Good video Ross
I appreciate your summer scenes this time of year, it warms me . Thanks
Glad the john deere is back in good shape again. It does a good job
Buddy the dog ! Good repair and great video , see ya tomorrow.
We use to call it run on back in the day Ross , always great videos from you ...

It’s been cold and windy here in southern Minnesota

1020s and 2020s were great 1010s and 2010s were garbage.
@danw6014 we run a 3020 gasser and it never lets us down.

🎉another great video!!

Good one 😂
Well you learn something every day, I haven't heard of "the dieselling effect" over here in England. Another great video Ross. All the best. Peter 🇬🇧🚜
Ross, you need chains on one of those loader tractors. They are a pain to put on but make a world of difference in frozen ground.
Thanks for sharing
May I suggest a Greg Judy bale unloader to spread the hay around, and distribute the excess organic matter.
thanks for the Awesome video
Nice video
Got to look a this way free fertilizer

Success in the tundra
Great video Ross

Ross may know better, but that hunting of the 3pt hitch usually has something to do with the adjustment on the draft control.
Thank will check into that more on adjustment
Need a box blade nock down that rough mud make easy to drive on
$700 😢😢😢 Geeeeze... Thats like the price of a whole other tractor. I retaught myself to shut the tractor off in gear and use the clutch to avoid a much cheaper anti desiel solenoid. But I'm cheap .😂
They should be called John Dear with the cost of replacement parts
Those frozen ruts does suck too drive through
Buddy The Dog was not on the job today, that’s like a Senator who wants to fire all the cattle guards on the roads.
My goodness that’s a lot of money!! And I get it that you want to fix it correctly but $700 seems way too much for that. Darn sure starts easy in this chilly Willy weather.

We had a neighbor neighbor that took a 4430 to the dealer they charged as much for the overall as his dad paid for it new
Green is gold
Everything is overpriced on JD
Why do you have donkeys?
Donkeys are excellent guard animals that keep predators away.
The 700 dollar part is an example of why i try to avoid Deere at all costs
Need a horn to drive a herd
