Hi folks, I haven't posted on here in FOREVER, but I came across a local John Deere 650 that is being sold for parts. Obviously it doesn't run and it is in pretty rough shape. The seller says the motor is locked up from sitting outside with the exhaust open and getting rained on. I think these...

At the beginning of the summer, noticing slow lift and dragging of the loader, I drained the fluid, pulled the screen, (which was clean), and refilled the box to the correct level. Things seemed to work pretty good. Then the tractor sat much of the summer after a few mowing jobs due to drought...

Since I bought the tractor, my 1983 John Deere 650 has issues with the hydraulic stop valve. I have tried everything, but I can not get it to turn in either direction. There is some rust on the visible threads. From the best I can tell, it is in the fully open position. When I try to lift any...

Hello JD 650 owners, Sadly, I lost my 650 (which I'd owned since 1988) and my 740, in a fire a few weeks ago. I really liked the 650, it was a super tractor! There was little to save, as I loaded both it, and the 740 chassis into the bin with the excavator. But, I did remove the hood whole, as...

Hi all, was wondering if anyone knows if a John Deere Model 51 Loader will fit my 650. Im thinking i can make the loader fit, but im wondering about the valve. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, wondering if a model 51 loader from John deere would fit a 650? I can weld, so I could probably make it fit, but I'm more concerned about if the valve would work, or if I would need to get a aftermarket westendorf valve. Need some help asap. Thanks in advance

I have a Bushhog qt1846 front end loader on a John Deere 650. I have very little experience with FEL tractors but I can not help but feel like something is not quite right with my setup. Everything functions, but it is very noisy when operating/cycling any of the functions (in comparison to my...

Hello All! my little MFWD JD650 is getting meaner and meaner as I continue to rehab it (with quite a bit of help from ya'll). It has recently been relegated to hard labor in the more untamed/swampy parts of my property as a 60" Woods Mow n Machine fell into my lap and has taken over mowing duty...

Hi. I've had my JD 650 for a couple years and am in the process of mounting a 3 point WM6600 on it. It is going very well so far. I've read here and elsewhere for years about NOT using a 3 point backhoe on a CUT. There is a JD 650 locally on craigslist that is broken in half. I have no interest...

Hi all, wondering the specs of my 1985 John Deere 650. I am planning on putting a 54" Box blade on it, and I need to know if it can handle about 500lbs. The box blade weighs 295lbs, but I figure with dirt it will weigh more. Any idea of my 3PT hitch lifting capacity?

I purchsed a 1985 model. test drove and it was restarted several times. Hauled it home on a trailer and much jiggling neutral switches and it finally cranked and started. unloaded and parked in the shop. Ready to move it and it made 1 short starter engagement, then no voltage to starter wire...

A neighbor has a JD 650 for sell. Aesthetically it looks pretty good but it doesn't run and it's been through a flood. I pulled the dipstick and water squirted out of the hole for a good 3-5 minutes. YIKES!! Pulled the oil plug and water poured out for a good 60 secs before it turned into oil...

Hi folks, I'm newly joined, but want to thank you all for the past year of saving me time, grief, money and injury, but mainly money. There is a 2" diameter knob below the seat of my 650 tractor. It is a valve that when closed traps the fluid inside the hydraulic actuator for the 3pt, thus...

My 1986 JD 650 will not reliably start. On the rare occasion it will, it blows thick white smoke for a while, then it appears to run normally and suddenly stops running without explanation.

Hi, I have been trying to locate some brake parts for a JD 650. Several people suggested "Green Tractor" but their login setup is grossly over done, funky and basically does not function. Does anyone know of any potential sources for these parts? Thanks, James.

Excellent way to put a bit of weight on those rear tires. Under $30 (CND). Used about 10 baseball size rocks from around the yard as filler.

Just recently purchased a 1981 JD650 with an aftermarket loader. Last owner was using all kinds of bolt sizes/lengths. If someone has any information on the mid mounting bolts location/thread size/length, I would greatly appreciate it. It looks like there are two mounting bolts on each of the...

My tractor has always had a little leak where the open/close shaft goes in to the hydraulic stop valve but recently it's got much worse. Is this rebuildable or an easy fix? Maybe just an O ring?

I am looking to replace the seat belt that was removed from my 650 20 years ago. Deere wants ~$180 for a new assembly but a similar assemblies are available for less than $20. Lap Seat Belt, Chrome Lift Latch, 6 Inch Length What I would like to know is if anyone has an original seat belt...

Here's my scenario. Several weeks back, I had started up my infrequently used tractor, warmed it up, and run it around the block a couple of times to get the fluids moving and charge up the battery. Everything worked fine. I parked it and let it sit for a couple of hours while I was working...

Hi Guys and Girls, I am in need of a front wheel for a JD 650 compact tractor. It is 4wd, 4 lug and tire size 6 x 12. If you have one to sell, please holler, Thanks, James.

I have been working on a 1985 JD 650 compact that had been pretty abused most of it's life. It being a close relative of the Yanmar YM187D most parts will interchange, at least seals & bearings on the mfwd front ends. (Mine is mfwd) Hoye tractor parts, in Iowa Park, Tx. Has been a reliable and...

Just the last couple of days the hydraulics on the boom and bucket have become slow and shudder. There is also a noise like something is uinder pressure or strain in the guts. 3pt. is also slow and will kill the motor when lifted to the max. No water in system, has never run low on fluid, no...

OK, here's another question for you JD Gurus. I have a nice old JD 650 with the smaller #60 Loader. Should the 60 be able to lift the front of the tractor? I don't seem to have any down pressure at all. When curving the bucket, the front end will lift, but when back scraping, the bucket will...

This may be a lame question, but I know that one of you for real tractor people will at least send me in the right direction. Is there any kind of chart that will give me an approximation of how much weight to use in a rear ballast box? I have a JD 650 with a loader. Just found an almost new JD...

Here's one for you JD gurus out there. I just bought an '85 650. A nice clean old tractor with all original paint. (no cracked or repainted welds). It does sound like a bucket of bolts while running. But I assume that it just sounds like a two cylinder diesel. After bringing the baby home I...

I have a John Deere 650 with an electric clutch that operates the front PTO for the belly mower. The clutch seems to be slipping and the part number LVA801788 is no longer available. Is there another part number that I can retro-fit for this? What other options might I have here? Thanks Steve

I have a John Deere 650 that the electric clutch that drives the front PTO for the mower is slipping. This part is not available any longer. Does anyone know of a different part number that I can make work?

jd 650 left on our new farm has 1200 hours got it running and it runs good, the little tractor had been sitting for an unknown amount of time. transmission cap was off and had been rained on during this time, I have drained hydro system twice everything is clean now.

I just bought a JD 650 4wd with a bush hog and was wanting to put a 60" belly mower on it. I found one that in pretty good shape but I'm missing the 4 brackets that attach to the bottom of the tractor (1 pair at the front end and the other pair below the engine). I also need to install a front...

OK, got the tractor running yesterday with the new fuel pump installed (think the timing might be off a smidge, but that's another thread). Now trying to reassemble everything and have been wresting with the radiator installation. I replaced the radiator hoses with hoses from Hoye (so I'm...

So, I was able to find new fuel lines for my JD650 at CWP Parts Warehouse. However, the #2 cylinder line (CH17555) actually has a different bend where it goes to the injector and isn't a clean fit (otherwise it matches). Since CH17555 is a sub for CH15557, I'm wondering if the engine set up...

So, I received my brand spanking new fuel injection pump. It's so shiny and new with that new pump smell, I almost hate to use it! It may well be the last one in stock anywhere. Came direct from Yanmar and their inventory only showed 1 left.....could be a collectors item! Interesting thing...

So, I'm a freak'n idiot (no surprise to my wife) and in my frenzy to get some parts for my tractor the other night, I ordered the same parts from two different places without realizing it. Sigh. If anyone is looking for these parts(air intake hose and clamps), let me know. I will let them go...

So, I have a dream that I'll actually be comfortable on my little compact tractor. The seat is about 2 inches too far forward for a 6' (non-compact) person and I'd like to mount one on a swivel so I could use it for the backhoe too The backhoe has a separate seat mounted to the backhoe frame...

OK, been futzing with this for too long and not getting anywhere. Need advice before I end up hiring someone . Last year when I was using my tractor I had zero issues with it starting. first or second crank and it fired right up. Then I parked it for a couple of weeks.....and our story...

I am installing a Westendorf loader on my John Deere 650 and cannot get the loader to operate. My tractor had no additional hydraulics - no power steering, no Selective Control Valve. I purchased the loader new, direct from Westendorf, with all of the parts, including the control valve. I...

Bought a JD 650 with loader last year. Ive noticed that the loader can lift about 400lbs to about 4 ft. Any additional weight or height leads to a very loud relief valve releasing pressure. From my reading, there are much smaller garden tractors that can lift more than that. Any chance...

I have a john deere 650 that ran well before someone attempted to hot wire it to steal. Know all it does is click at a relay under the dash..I have traced all the wiring to see if wires where burnt and everything looks good, the iginion switch seem to act alright but the pre heat light stays on...

Purchased this JD 650 6 months ago. The tractor was working fine. I just used it for pulling a light trailer up a hill from my shoppe and some box blade work. I have no idea how many hours on the tractor the hour meter does not work. Had some 3pt lift issues recently was able to resolve by...

This tractor has always been murder on rectifiers when using the front electro-magnet clutch. For the past 10 or more years I have had the charge circuit disconnected and use a combination start/deep cycle battery instead; putting that on a Deltran Tender when finished for the day. But, I...

So, had to share this story and ask about next steps. I changed all the fluids on my auction bought JD650 (never trust another man's maintenance). Glad I did, it was a mess. The gear oil in the front end came out like liquid ****. Brown, think, almost chunky, it was gross. Then I pulled the...

Now that I have my brakes torn down, all my parts have arrived, I'm looking forward to a weekend of cleaning and reassembly...finally. A couple of questions. 1.) on the drum shaft, I'm assuming anti-seize grease should be applied after a proper cleaning before installing the new drum. Don't...

So, my JD650 has an aftermarket seat on it that just has 2 angle brackets mounting it to the pivot. Was thinking I can just get a longer piece of angle bracket to set the seat back a few inches to accommodate my height. I can barely operate the pedals I'm so close. But, I'm wondering if there...

Pulled my brake covers this weekend to replace pads and see why my left brake was not operable. A couple issues I need some advice on. 1.) actuator cam/lever on left brake cover is fused to the cover. Soaked it in WD40, beat the snot out of it with a rubber mallet and I cannot get the lever...

Will a 2 cylinder engine out of a yanmar ym1500 fit into and bolt up to a John Deere 650 tractor?

Just picked up an '83 (I think) John Deere 650 at auction this weekend. My first tractor and I haven't operated one in many many (many) years. I ordered manuals for it and should get them sometime next week, but I'm hoping there are a few JD 650 owners that might be able to help with a few...

Have a jd 650 that is hard to crank. Sometimes you turn the switch and it cranks right up. The next time you turn the key to crank it and nothing happens. If you turn the key on and off sometimes it will crank. After it runs for awhile and you cut it off it is hard to crank again.

My 3pt drops slowly while I am mowing. Hydro fluid is good. Can't figure it out and I don't have a manual it was passed down from my Granddad and I am so frustrated. I can mow but have to keep checking to see if it needs raised back up often. I have just had to self learn everything with this...

does anyone know the flow rate of the hydraulic pump on a 1986 jd 650? manual lists pressure at 2030 psi. i'll be powering a cylinder for a homebuilt log splitter.

I need to fix light wiring and troubleshoot the cold start circuit. Can anyone point me to a free or reasonable PDF version? Thanks in advance, Phil

OK, I was out planting onions yesterday when I heard a terrible sound - thankfully, it wasn't a hose as I feared. It was a tire! How odd I thought as it was just sitting on the pasture, flat land. Anyway, I am trying to change the tire as it's a pretty wide gash it looks like, and green ooze is...

Does anyone know if the bolt pattern on a JD 650 or 750 is the same as a 855? Or if any 650 or 750 owners could tell me what their rims bolt patterns are.

What is the correct model number of a 60'' belly mower for a 650? Also, is the electric pto clutch already on the machine, or is it an additional purchase along with the deck?

New JD 650 owner. Glad to be here.

I recently replaced my voltage regulator on my 650 compact. I need a schematic for the tractor. I don't have any problems, but I would like to have a schematic for the next time. Or I might decide to repair my lights. It is an '84 model. Does anyone have one they could forward? I could...

I have a JD 650 compact tractor with turf tires. I recently purchased a Gaspardo FBR 7' Sickle Bar mower for light mowing around the edges of my pond. Would it be possible to run the sickle bar mower with the JD 650? I also have a Kubota L3130 which I know will power the sickle mower, but I...

I posted this a few weeks ago. Had some lookers but no replies. So I'll try this again. Looking at a John Deere 650 Tractor with Front loader, Brushhog, rototiller, bellymower, and blade. Sold as a package. Tractor is a 1981-89 model; 2WD; runs great; 1800 hrs. ASKING $6000. My concern is the...

I'm not sure if anyone will find this amusing, but being new to tractors I see there is a lot to learn. My father in law was in a serious motorcycle accident, so I've offered to help out on their ranch. I went to pick up a John Deere 650 tractor, so I inserted the key, pushed in the clutch and...

I have a 650 John Deere tractor and someone decided they needed a three point hitch more than I do. I checked with the local Deere dealer and all they told me was happy hunting as parts are no longer available for that model. So my question is somewhat two fold, is there a Yanmar cross or will...

I am going to buy a 1981 JD 650 4WD from my Brother-in-Law. It has power steering and when you turn the steering wheel, the engine bogs down considerably. Also, the wheels turn much further to the left than they do to the right. Any body out there seen this problem and offer help? My search of...

For those who need obsolete parts, I found the following list that cross-references JD part#'s to Yanmar Part#s so that you can order the Yanmar equivalent. http://www.fredricksequipment.com/Portals/0/John%20Deere%20Catalog.doc I talked to Rob at Fredricks Equipment and he was most helpful...

Does anyone have General or specific Information about the John deere 650.

I have a pretty decent 650, but I really want to run a snow blower off the front. Problem is I got no front pto, is there a way I can add a front pto?

I've been wanting to buy a JD 650 for mowing. A friend told me that the early 80's Yanmar engines had some troubles. The 650 has a 2 cyl diesel. does anybody know if these engines had problems? How about the 750 & 850.

I've searched and read small tractor info for a few months now. JD's, Kubota, Greys, Power tracs, Yanmars, Isekis. I hate driving and the closest tractor, and the best price i think, is a JD 650 4x4 with 1200 hrs, FEL and ROP for $6900. I like the physical size of this tractor. Does that price...

I have a 1984 JD 650 with belly mower it has about 950 hours on the clock. It is powered by a 17 HP Yanmar Diesel Recently I have developed a starting problem. The starter will not turn the engine over when on the compression stroke. To date I have replaced the battery and the starter. Both are...

I had posted this in a different forum, but it was suggested that I move the post over here since it's more likely I'll find additional 650 owners. As an update to below, I did get confirmation that turning the key to the left gets the glowplugs going. Any help or advice is greatly...

Well, I found this website and it seems very helpful, so I'm hoping I can get some basic help considering the situation I'm in. My sister was recently widowed, very shockingly because her husband was only 45 (heart attack). The problem is that they lived on 15 acres of property of which my...

This is a corrected diagram of one I posted on another thread. For the Hydraulics experts.... does this look right?? This will go on an old John Deere 650 1982 vintage.

I posted this initially on the General Owner/Operating, perhaps it belongs here. Recently purchased a '84 JD 650 w/snowblower and I've got a few questions for those familiar with this unit. 1. I need an owners/service manual. Any suggestions? If I had a manual I wouldn't need to ask the next...

I figure I'd toss this out for an easy way to fix this problem for a customer. There is a wire (Rectifier) by the JD parts list that grounds out and goes through to the starter. part number CH20161 this part has been discontinued since 1988 and is currently unavailable thru the dealer. Is...

All, just curious, it seems that many customers out there can basically repair their JD 650 unless it involves the crankshaft. JD quit selling them and many out there cannot find one. I know there is an aftermarket JD 750 crankshaft now available, does anyone know if they plan on making a JD...

All, the JD 650 I have is 4WD, all works except low range second and high range 5th. Was looking to either live with this or possibly fix for under grand. Ebay has a salvage tractor, rear end and transmission from a 2WD. It is at 400.00 with no bids. I was wondering, would'nt most of the...

All, I am trying to track down why my headlights do not work, I started with the simple, bulbs, corrosion, loose wire etc, now I am at the switch. Not knowing what is supposed to be on since lights never on, here is my question. Based upon the switch, using the continuity tester, I have...

Well, all, I have asked for help with my tractor regarding the need of a wiring schematic to help diagnose a problem and I yet have a single respone. What I find Ironic, is that when I was not a JD owner buy a yammar owner, I recieved responses. I guess I am the only JD 650 owner out there.

I bought a JD 650, not a single light works, does anyone have the schematic so I can troubleshoot?

Anybody know if I can put a fuel gauge on the 650 tractor? I'm just tired of having to deal with that float that is in there and I can't ever read it right. I really hate to have to use an autometer fuel gauge, does anybody know if there are fuel gauges for tractors out there or am I out of...

All, new to posting in the JD site, own a JD 650 Yanmar, prior to this, I owned a Yanmar 1300, Although, parts getting harder, still love the tractor. 4WD with loader. Hate to trade it in but would like for 5th gear to work. When in 5th, if gear shift held, will proceed but does not like it...

Sorry about new post, also a post in the Yanmar section. Having traded in my Yanmar 2wd 1300 for a 4WD JD 650, I posted in this site because everyone here takes the time to help one out. I could not find anything in the JD site about shift forks on this tractor. I believe that this is the...

Haven't posted in a while, but last time I posted was thinking about selling my yanmar 1300 and buying a 4wd yanmar 1610 or 2210. Since then, came across a private dealer who my dad has dealt with and as a favor, sold me the tractor cheaper than normal. For my yanmar 1300 and 2 point tiller...

I have a JD 650 and am looking for powersteering parts. Does anyone have a line on parts that would fit my 650. I believe the 186D is almost identical to my unit.

I am interested in installing a Buhler 95 or 195 Front end loader on my JD 650 4wd utility tractor. I am looking for information on loaders that people have installed on JD 650's. I don't have power steering and am wondering if installing a loader will make steering too difficult to enjoy using...

Finnally got my 650 MFWD home after the purchase and need a little help. It came with the model 365 front blade that was only used once when it was new in 1983 and the previous then took it off and never used it again. The problem is that he did not have the loader valve because he used it on...

I would like to install power steering on my JD 650 4WD. I know this was an option and there was a kit available. I have been told it is no longer available. Does anyone know where I can find the parts I need to make the install. Maybe there is a non operative 650 out there that has some good...

Need some help with questions on a JD 650 as I am looking at one to buy. Does it have a live pto/two stage clutch like the bigger 50's. Does it have an overrunning clutch built in? Any other little things that I should be aware of? Thanks for the help.

I have a JD 650 4wd with 550hrs. I bought it last year and I love it so far. But I have found what I think is a great deal on a 790 4wd with only 200hrs. I was wondering what ya'll think would be a good price to ask for the 650 with a 5ft box blade and a plow. I have added rops to the tractor...

We've just gotten 10 acres in W.TX and the last owner has a ~'85 4wd JD 650 diesel with 481hrs and a bush hog 5' (not turf tires); he's asking 6k. It looks to be in really good shape, runs good and seems to have made short work of half the overgrown back 5 and the front 5 is gorgeous seems to...

I have a JD 655 and have found a 365 blade that came off a 650. This blade mounts under the body of the tractor, not just on the front. The owner can't find a S/N on the blade. Anyone have any thoughts about whether this would fit? Thanks in advance, sorry I can't be more specific.

Has any tried to install a JD 650 snow blade on a Yanmar ym165? The blade is similar to this one snow blade. Anyone else come up with a snow blade option for the 165?

I recently purchased a 650 4wd tractor, it has impressed me with its power for its small size. I am currently using 5ft implements on this tractor is it to much for it am I indanger of damaging the tractor or the hydraulics. The box blade I'm using weighs about 450lbs and it works it like it...

Going in the morning to look at a John deere 650 4wd with only 500 and some hours they said it has been kept under shelter its whole life. I'll find out in the morning. They are asking only $3500.00 does this sound about right. Has a few pieces of equipment with it a couple of plows and a...

Hi, I found a nice 650 owned by a retired engineer who took care of the machine like it was his child. For a 20 year old tractor, it looks much like brand new. He rebuilt and repainted the deck (JD colors of course). Hours are just shy of 600 and he completed the 600 hr service interval...

Does anybody know if the John Deere 670 Turf tire rims will fit on a Jonh Deere 650? They both use 31 x 15.5 x 15 tires. I checked the Deere web site and the part numbers are not the same: the 650 uses a part number CH15049 the 670 uses a part number M802863 or AM877013 The rims physically...

When I lift a heavy load with my FEL and the hydraulic relief valve begins to bypass it squeals. It used to be silent about a year ago. Has anybody else experienced anything like this? Would it be dirt or possibly a metal shaving caught up in the ball and seat assembly on the relief valve...

I have a John Deere 650 Diesel. It's a pretty good tractor, does most anything I want it to, but it doesn't have a beverage holder. Without a beverage (beer) holder you can't get much done... or at least it seems that way. Where would be a good place to mount one? I would like to position...

Hello Forum, I've got a JD 650 (18 hp compact 2 cyl Yanmar diesel). The throttle is sticking. My JD dealer told me it sounds like the governor needs to be rebuilt and recommended I remove it myself and send it out to the same shop they would so I don't have to pay him to do it. Question is, I...
