    John Deere 630 Custom Powr-Trol Leaking

    This past weekend, I installed a 2 valve custom powr-trol valve and model 48 loader on my 1959 John Deere 630. I have one unresolved issue - the adapter between the powr-trol unit and the two lines that go up and around the seat is leaking where it bolts to the powr-trol valve. I took...

    John Deere 630 Custom Powr-trol Help

    I am preparing to install a custom powr-trol unit on my 1959 JD 630. While disassembling it for cleaning, these 3 pieces fell out, and I m not sure of the proper orientation for reassembly. Would anyone have a parts diagram showing how this goes together? Thanks!

    John Deere 630 Hydraulics

    I am prepping my 1959 John Deere 630 for the model 48 loader I picked up a few weekends ago. This is necessitating the installation of the "custom powr-trol" that I purchased last year, to upgrade from the single remote powr-trol my tractor came with. The paint on the custom powr-trol is...

    John Deere 630 - Stock Exhaust Question

    My 1959 630 has a straight pipe exhaust on it. I love how it sounds, and it's great for parade duty, but it's a killer on the ears when using the tractor for actual work. I always wear hearing protection if I'm using it for more than a few minutes. I have considered picking up an...

    JD 630 Fuel Problem

    I recently fired up my 1959 630 after sitting idle for a couple of months. It had about a half tank of fuel, and I was using my 5 woods rotary cutter. I was bush hogging flat ground with it for about an hour, when it suddenly started to sputter and lose speed, then died. I pulled the choke...

    Having trouble adjusting rear wheels on 630

    I have been trying to adjust the rear wheels on my 1959 630, to no avail. I was able to get both wedges loose on each wheel, but I have not had any luck getting getting the adjusting pinion gears to turn. I was able to move the wedges enough that I'm able to see the (rusty) pinion gears on...

    Forklift mast issues

    I purchased a forklift mast from an old Yale forklift that had been converted to connect to a 3 point hitch. It can only lift 6-7 due to the limited capacity of my tractors hydraulic system - it only has a single hose connection. I have been trying to figure out a solution that would allow me...

    Front end weights

    I saw a set of front end weights for sale semi-locally, advertised as for a JD 50/520/530. The part numbers are B3280R and B3281R. Would these fit my 1959 630? Thanks!

    John Deere 630 stuck in the mud

    I was out and about on the farm this evening, and unfortunately I ventured just a little too far into the swampy area. Thankfully there are numerous trees about 40 ft behind the tractor to pull from. My question is hooking to the tractor itself. Is it OK to pull it out of the mud from the...

    John Deere 350 sickle bar mower manual

    I just picked up this JD 350 sickle bar mower. I am not totally sure how to set this thing up. I cant seem to find a manual on the john deere website. Does anyone happen to have a copy available or a link to it? Thanks!

    Front weights for JD630

    I am looking to add some front weights to my 1959 JD630. I have seen some of the original front weights on eBay for ridiculous money. I have been trying to find a weight bracket that fits the tractor so that I could use suitcase style weights, but have not had any luck in the area. Does...

    JD 630 3 point hitch lift capacity

    Ive had my 1959 630 now for a few weeks. I have noticed the 3 point hitch seems to be capable of lifting a decent amount of weight, but I have not been able to find a specification published. It lifted 1500lbs effortlessly with the engine just above idle, but I do not want to overload the...

    JD 127 Gyramoor Slip Clutch

    I have an older JD127 gyramoor rotary cutter that Ive been using for about the past 5 years. Last summer, while out mowing, the slip clutch seemed to suddenly fail. The PTO shaft will spin and the blades will not. I got a large wrench and attempted to tighten the clutch pack, to no avail...

    Bought a '59 John Deere 630 - now I need to get it home

    So I went to look at the '59 630 I mentioned in another thread, and liked it so much that I decided to buy it. It seems to be a good running tractor that's been well maintained. My current issue is that the wheels are adjusted out as wide as they can go, meaning it is too wide to fit on my...

    Going to look at a 630 tomorrow

    I am going to look at a JD 630 tomorrow. This will be the first time Ive looked at buying a 2 cylinder (or any) Deere. I have owned a Farmall M in the past, and currently have an Allis B, so I have an idea of what to expect in an older machine, but Im curious if there are any specific things...

    Found a Massey 165 for sale with MF32 loader

    I found a Massey 165 for sale with MF32 loader. Is anyone familiar with this setup, and how difficult it is to take the loader on and off? Also would it be hard to add a quick attach plate to one of these? Thanks!

    Went to look at a Farmall 450 - need advice

    I went to look at a 57 Farmall 450 today, sn 10530. A little background - We own a small 25 acre farm, and I am looking for something larger than my 16HP Kubota B7100HST. We have about 12 acres that we mow with the bush hog, which is painfully slow with the Kubota. I want a more capable...
