John Deere 730
Hi guys:
I'm from Argentina and I'm currently rebuilding an old 1959 John Deere 730, which was made in Argentina back in the day. I thought it could be interesting for you guys to see this rebuild. The tractor has some imported American parts, such as the engine starter and generator. Please give it a look, and if you can, give me some feedback on the matter.
Here is the link to my blog:

Thanks in advance! :)

PS: I forgot to mention that the language is spanish, but I think you can translate it with some google tool , should be no problem..
cheers!

Loved the 30 series.!! One sharp tractor style. A buddy of mine had an 830,and to me, that thing was awesome..!!

He had a 720 diesel too, and got to run both some years if he was behind on planting.

I looked at your blog and although I don't know spanish there was a lot to recognize! I hope you will be able to keep the tires, I love the old tread patterns. Great job it looks great!

Thanks very much DJ54 and mfreund for your kind words!, I will be keeping the old tires since they are in good condition. I'll be updating the blog soon. Happy New Year to you! :)

cheers!

Hi:
Any of you guys have the measures for the hood decals? I mean "John Deere" , "730" and "DIESEL" .. if you do, please let me know.
thanks in advance.

I thought those S. American 2 cyl's had a foot clutch instead of hand clutch. Nice pic's.

DJ54: The original decals are certainly a possibility, I have to check if they ship those to Argentina though..

Tx Jim: Here some people choose to modify the original hand clutch to a pedal system, but that is not my case. Personally, I prefer the hand clutch :)

cheers!

I thought the foot clutch was what JD offered not the hand clutch. Here's some photos of a nice one with a foot clutch
