John Deere 3650 project

[Cab-over Pete]

Only just noticed this thread.

You’ve done well to get one with the original JD front linkage.

I had a front linkage here but sold it when I sold my two 3650s to help fund the purchase of a new spreader.

Really wish I could have kept them both. Cracking tractors.

Think I may have had a front linkage from you a few years back Pete...

Really? I did have a linkage similar to the above at one time. I think it came with one of my 3650s and I took it off intending to fit the proper JD one but never got around to it.

That tractor looks smashing.

I remember admiring your set-up. Think you had two or three big As, as well as a fantastic looking 3650. I seem to recall a rather special little 2850 if my memory serves me right??
Don't think I could ever part with my 33! Great classic tractors in my opinion.

I still have my 3350. I’ll never sell it, being the first tractor I ever bought. I still have the 2850 too. My lad would disown me if I sold that!

Still doing bits and bobs with them, maybe 100-150 hrs per year.

I keep promising the 33 a respray but always have more pressing things to spend the money on!

It’s a few years since you bought that front linkage. I’m afraid I really can’t remember it at all.

Came over from Suffolk in my little red Vauxhall combo van. We lumped it in the back, I admired your kit, money's were exchanged and off I went on my axle stops!
Glad to hear you still have those two gems and perhaps we could compare 33s when you've had the re-spray.

Ah yes!! I remember now. She was groaning a bit!

I must get the 33 done. She is getting a bit tatty now, especially in the cab.

I’ll see what cash I have left after building up my Xerion spreader.
