This is like the non farming side of farming simulator, the logistic side. Really cool to see it all for real and how unrealistic the game is lol.
🤣🤣
All he has to do is drag it to the workshop, hit the button and it will be 100% perfect again and if he's really flush a perfect fresh coat of paint as well.
It’s called real life😂

As a farm kid in his 50’s there is nothing better then a 4440. Easy to work on, good runners, and that power shift is no big deal. You’ll need to get or build some stands to split the tractor. I’m betting it’s probably low on hydraulic oil and needs filters if it’s been sitting that long. That line leaking under the hood is more then likely a steel line that’s rubbed on the hood. Braze it and good to go. She sounds good! If it’s not steering the brake pads came apart and plugged the screen in the front pump under the radiator. Pull the axel housings and pull brake pistons out and get them redone. That screen is a bitch to get out because of the screen.
Dear Joseph, Normally a John Deere tractor is one of the most reliable tractors you can purchase. I think the thing has been put aside due to problems with the gearbox and that this tractor has been used for parts in the meantime, so I think that’s why many parts are missing. That the engine runs is a good sign for restoring this tractor. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
what a absolute BABE i helped a mate restor a 4440 about 20 years ago was in classic tractor amazing tractor and a very rewarding restoration project cant wait to watchyou bring her back to her former glory
"That want's going straight in the scrap bin" A thought that crossed every British Army Combat Engineers mind, when feeding cardboard Bar mines into a Bar Mine Layer, crossing Soltau training area in March, having been on the training area for weeks, stinking, hungry and freezing cold - Wise words that echo down the decades!
And then being told to dig them up to remove the tape holding them together because it wasn’t eco friendly
Someone, somewhere will buy it
Love it!! Tractors and tanks… best KZhead channel ever!
At least you have a use for it ; I bought mine repaired it , did the four hours actual loader work .Now it's my powered wheel barrow , and trash bin hauler. At 71 years old I can have one last toy.
You guys have too much fun ! Always enjoy your videos so much. Thanks !
Never a dull moment watching joes channel ❤️
Two things I noticed about Mr Hewe's videos. 1. It rains. A lot it seems. We here in Australia don't get rain. We get FLOOD or DROUGHT. And 2. You guys get spiderwebs but without a Huntsman spider the size of a dinner plate that wants to launch itself into a person's face. Well done. I may have to move.
Biggest spider we have is the giant house spider its a baby compared to what you have there and not harmful to humans. They just give you a jump when they run across the floor in your house around autumn time.
Shadows! thanks for that! Anyone who don't know look em up, Apache is a good start. Cheers from the U.S. boys!
Your enterprise is pure joy. Us ex farmers know. Love my adjustables. Love from west Dorset near France.
Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
I grow up driving a 4440 JD! Loved that power shift!
Never saddle a dead horse! Increase your winch cable strength by fitting your clamps the right way round. Enjoying the videos amazing what you can fix.
I love the way the cap/valve on the exhaust stack was bouncing.up and down like it was trying to speak.
I love this channel more than I do the French, love getting a notification that mr.hewes has uploaded a new video, keep the videos coming,❤ from 🇮🇪
"I love this channel more than I do the French" Pretty sure that's an insult 😂
Not the first ring you had around yer face! heh 🤣
Love videos like this. I couldn’t cope with how messy that place is though.
I agree, the place needs a very good clean up,
I’d love have a good tidy and organise
Well worth saving mate, they're a good old tractor.
Shadows and Geoff Meon - good sound track!
Love these videos, as well as the military ones. Can't help wondering if things would have gone easier if Ted had been there to supervise. Enjoy Joe with his scathing encouragement "its sh~t tractor, helps motivate the team! However he always gets stuck in and gets mucky too.
Adam couldn't you hear me shouting to get away from that rope, pulling the excavator into the shed? Anyway you survived! 🙂 It started! You never know what's missing when something's been parked up on a farm for a while, going by the forrestation growing around it. An interesting project. Do you know how much it's worth before you go spending an unlimited amount on labour and parts? Good luck, great video. 👍😃🤔
After seeing lines like that snap violently in prervious scenes, I was thinking the same thing.
Defo have to agree,one of these lot are gunna get badly hurt one day,as much as they are funny etc and I'll watch every video,please boys be safe and use your heads when pulling with chains etc!!!!
That rope was a chain, but yeah really bad idea to stand right next to it (even with the sheet over it to help stop 'rebound') whilst it was under strain.
That wasn’t the “Case” I see what you did there. Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing.
Looks to me like in this video, the dog had more intelligence than the guys put together.
Why Ted the dog is the chief engineer
Nick Young tractor parts should have everything you need, new or secondhand or possibly Burden Bros in sheppy Kent.
A great sound track by England's own "the Shadows" ,and my favorite cut by them Apache
That invisible spill kit works a treat.🤔
The JD 4440 were a great tractors, the 466 cu.in.(7.6 L) engines were a game changer. If properly maintained and not abuse they 4440s can last almost forever, the engines were good for 10K+ hrs. If this tractor was sitting in the Midwest (US) it would have been found and recued years ago. The powershift trans is tough, and we'll worth rebuilding by an experienced and trained mechanic.
Always amazing how much good equipment is left in fields to decay.....by farmers. One man's rubbish is another's gold. Another successful rescue by National Rescue.
My god father and ex Shadow member Jet Harris was the best at playing Apache on his guitar. Brings back very fond memories...👍🙂👍
Random things to find on a farm yard number 482: A barmine layer!?!? Totally bizarre Mr Hewes, but certainly not scrap.
These videos are just great every time, simple stuff but great none the less. Question though, who would design a tractor where the air intake is right next to the exhaust?
I was think that too, might as well put the exhaust intot the airbox😂
It was done that way for visiblity from the operator seat. When looking over the hood, the air stack, exhaust stack, and door frame are all in line with one another
Another great video! The tractor looks to good to just rot so good luck getting it going. You guys always make it a laugh. Out of interest what were the other tractors. One looked like a Renault but not certain!
Mucker has done a few JD's mind you he's probably wedged down in that Skidsteer !
alot of lovely tracors hiden away there wishi could have them lovely classics
You really got your work cut out for you with all the projects you have going on at the moment. Your antics are worth subscribing for alone. I wonder where that tractor was built at?
It's got a birds nest! Legend has it, that when it's got a birds nest it's definitely a runner!
Please enjoy you guys on this John Deere but it is great that the engine has started and generally speaking it is relatively good condition 👍! Looking forward to see more work on this lovely trac
You guys are just nuts, but I love to watch your videos!
That song Apache from The Shadows is a real classic.
The 4440 was a great model.
love that you are really getting your moneys worth buying that flatbed.
That bar mine layer caught my attention.
Top job battery is worth more😂 liked the rope crack and boing ❤
Great job, looking great
@3.20 So thats where my barmine layer went after the towing pin came out of the 432 🤣
At least you didn’t lose the mk7 mine train as well, how many nails were lost on that Feckin thing, 2 for me!
F'ckin hell bud the last time I saw one of them was when I was with 24 Fd Sqn rent-a-troop teaching the RE Young Officers course , 10 ton Knocker loaded with practice concrete Mk 7's towed by a D6 Cat towing the beast 🤣
@normancrosbie9192 yup that's the one, we are just old mate!😥😲😲😲
@@samleigh7817 🤣
Nice restoration project
great work lads
Thought you might do a Wheely at one point 👍 🇬🇧 well-done Mr Hewes
Although your fuel system needs a good going over (tank, lines, filters etc) could your air in the fuel system be being "drawn in" from the pipes on the T pieces for the injector fuel return pipes as we had this fault on a JD that we did, also if you steering leak is from a Danfoss unit at the bottom of the steering column we've got a few of them units we've salvaged from machinery.
LOVE the Music.
The Shadows, Wonderful Land.
Love to see more on the Harvard in the barn 👀
Is it always raining there?
Someone tell your mate I n the overalls if that chain snaps next to him, at head height, it’s not going to be an open coffin funeral 😭 Love the rescue videos mate
The blinking Shadows, not heard them in a good while.
Ghost rider's in the sky, I think 👍
Apache…
@@lancewhite1477 I knew I shouldn't have overreached 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i see them play a few years back in London unfortunately accompanied by dirty dick howling , apart from him they were amazing @@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd
What you need is the Australian version of Easy Start. It’s called (genuinely) Start ya bastard
Seems like half the American Legion posts or VFWs have :gate guard" M60s and M48s. Love to see you get your hands on one.
You lot are legends. 😎👍
Its a shame to see an iconic john deere tractor lert outside like that
Beautiful work 😅
4:02, I was waiting for Lord Lucan to fall out of the cab.
Good job getting the Johnny going
Dam, the 4440 was probably the best tractor JD ever made. Some would say its the only good tractor they ever made. Had wet brakes, wet clutch......good on fuel, quiet. Decent engine.
14:20 Good form! Good for your back!
Hello mr.Hewes Very nice channel. We like your work. Bravo
Adam's 'no expression' face just slays
Nearly 50 years ago on friends farm they had old abandoned tractor.wheels all seezed up hadnt been touched for yearsThey towed it with another tractor freed the brakes then bumped it . Next time I went there my friend 12/13year old driving it as his. They told me then basic will always start.I was amazed then like I am now with your vehicles
🙂happy dear hunting.. shasing the lost one..😉
Teds new tractor!.....i can see how excited he is about it!
Was still working these in the mid 2000s solid machine along with the 3650 power shift
Proper tractor boys 💪💯
Sweet sounding motor
That ring's just been round Joes mouth. Just brilliant.
Love a bit of Hank Marvin 😁
Another video of mechanical mastery lol, and I loved Apache by the Shadows at the start
For as rough as it is that's actually in really good shape. Other than the money from the outside it looks like it shouldn't need much.
If it can be moved or fixed you guys can do it.👌👍👍
The John Deere 4440 was an excellent tractor
It’s amazing how much scrap farmers have .worth a fortune.
that's not scrap it future projects
Theres more kit in that area than you could ever have time to get going.
Excellent content
Loving the jolly green giant
Nice one guys👍
Looks like that oil leaking was from the steering lines. Had that issue with a 4050 before. New lines fixed it for me!
Absolute babe of a tractor what a find 😎
That's going to make an awesome tank recovery vehicle... Well, in Ukraine anyway.. 😁
My old boss had 2 of these shaped ones, a 3050 and a 3350 both 6 cylinder an 4 wheel drive, great tractors at that time in the 90s
love to visit a place like this and try get some of these old machines going
Joe a suggestion - maybe change your name to Meter? Or perhaps when you are a bit broken down with life? Love the content keep it coming.
Good job bro 👍
It's big, it's green, it's diesel. Works for me. 👍
GOOD choice of music.
Thumbs up also for the video and using apache as "background noise" :)
Gotta say, didn't realise Samsung made excavators 😂
Volvo bought them out they used to build wheel loaders as well
lmao how nice it is to have friends help draw in the winch cable
Why would someone leave a superb 4440 like that to rot?? Below the grime it looks in great condition, tyres with a lot of thread
That's a nice, 4000 series 440 BHP John Deere you have there Joe, should pull the baler with ease 🤣🤣
What a tractor why would some one leave that to rot
The repairs sometimes cost more than someone can afford, it happens a lot in the country/rural areas. It's cheaper to buy a different used tractor or sell the broken one to a junk collector so you can afford a different tractor. The repairs this tractor needs is not really something any farmer can do in their backyard, although it's not so complex you need an expert, but it def helps.
Right but that's a new tire! Just to make the video!
I think the transmission not working was probably the reason for that.
Very nice video, thanks.
We want tanks! We want tanks 😂 Good work guys and the girl!
