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, except for the seat and right front tire, it is all original.
The below right photo was taken after installing a new seat & JD grill badges.

My first project was to build a 3 point hitch. I searched the web for ideas & measurements. After purchasing some of the needed material, I began the fabrication. Click on the photos for descriptions.

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

I purchased a 4' WARN blade last year and fabricated a front mount. Below are photos of the fabrication.
It should be complete in a few days. All material used is from my scrap metal pile. I did purchase the 2" receiver tube.

Now that I have a larger tractor(JD750), the 330 will be sold. I tried to get the original owners grandsons to buy it back, but none were interested. I placed it for sale last month and a gentleman from Florida purchased it.
John Deere 750 (Mar. 2018)
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 changed 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 replaced the flex fuel lines. A good battery was installed and I had to clean the starter solenoid contacts. After solenoid repair, the injection system was bled and the engine started and ran as it should.

Besides my time, I had $1980 invested in this project and sold it for $3500. 👍

I purchased this 1966 John Deere 110 Lawn & Garden tractor. It's no beauty, but for 54 years old, it's relatively solid.
Other than some light surface rust, the metal is very workable and it has most of it's original parts in tact. Not sure what the future holds for it. It may end up being a fixture in my John Deere collection.

1953 John Deere model 40S.
I'll drove to northern Missouri (8/20/2021) to purchase this tractor.
I've been searching for a Model 40S for more than 35 years, preferably a 1953, as that's the years I was born. This one hit the mark. The previous owner took great care of it. Thanks, Lowell.
This will be my Show/Parade Tractor.
