John Deere 330 (Summer of 2015) - Note: This was not intended to be a "flip" project but turned out to be in the end.
The JD 330 is equipped with a 16HP Yanmar 3-cyl liquid-cooled diesel engine. Mower attachment is a 50" mid-mount mower deck (not shown). The below left photo is as I purchased it. With 1996 hours on the meter, it was all original, with the exception of the seat and right front tire. The below right photo was taken after installing a new seat & JD grill badge.

Fall of 2015 - The first project for the 330 was to build a 3-point hitch.
After purchasing some of the necessary material, I began the fabrication. Click on each photo for a descriptions.

Having the tractor for a while, I removed the fender deck to clean underneath. While this was being done, I decided to freshen it up a bit.

Oct. 4, 2017 - Front Push Blade for the 330. I purchased a 4' WARN blade and fabricated a front mount for it.
Below are photos of the fabrication. All material used to build the mount was from my scrap metal pile.
The 2" receiver tube, hydraulic cylinder, hoses and fittings were purchased new.

After purchasing a larger tractor (John Deere 750), I sold the 330.
John Deere 750 (Mar 2018) - Another "Flip" project
I purchased this 20 HP (1984-year model) 750 in March 2018. It had no battery, and the clutch stuck from sitting up. Once I got it home, I replaced the air filter, engine oil & filter, hydraulic oil & filter, and cleaned the trans/hyd suction screen. I also drained the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filter and the fuel lines/hoses. A good battery was installed, and I had to clean the starter solenoid contacts. With fresh fuel in the tank, the fuel injection system was bled and the engine started. It ran as it should. I then began the refurbishment of the tractor.

I purchased this 1966 John Deere 110 Lawn & Garden tractor. It's no beauty but for its age, it's relatively solid.
Other than some light surface rust, the metal is very solid, and it has most of its original parts intact. Not sure what the future holds for it.
