This is a series of clips I made surrounding the resurrection of my early serial number 1975 John Deere 300 that I got for free from a coworker back early in March. It came with the 42" mechanical tiller only. It's actually an ex-Alberta Public Works and Supply Services tractor that worked for many years maintaining government properties before it was sold privately. The side panel and carburetor were left exposed for quite some time, so the choke cable seized and the fuel bowl rusted. A little work on the carburetor and it came right to life. A further fluid and filter change for the hydrostatic drive brought the transmission back to life and I kept it around the yard for a bit before a friend of mine made a good offer and I let it go.
