I have a 1981 model 650. It is one of the first generations of them. I wanted a 750, but this was available used for a rock bottom price. It had 412 hrs on it when I got it and has over 1,500 on it now. This little 2 cylinder engine is tough as nails and with a little care it will last a long time I have run it hard and done very little to it. I did crack a piston once because I got impatient and sprayed it with ether rather than charge the battery. The tractor was a victim of stupid me. DO NOT USE ETHER ON THIS ENGINE! Use the cold weather start system, it works. I replaced the 2 pistons/w rings,rod bearings and the gaskets for less than $125.00. I have owned it sine 1987 and have replaced 2 batteries, 1 voltage regulator, one water pump and one fan belt. I had the injection pump rebuilt at about 1,000 hrs because it was starting to skip a little and lose power.. The best thing I did for mine was to change it to wet brakes and stop wearing out a set of brake linings about every year when mowing. I pull a 5' Mott flail mower with mine with the fine cut blades on it and for many years I mowed 3 acres with it weekly. I sold all of the rental houses and now I only have 1 & 1/2 acres that I mow with it. I had an IH Cub loader adapted to it for 10 years until I bought a Backhoe/loader unit. I had power steering on it as long as I had a loader on it but took it off for a repair and decided not to put it back on. If you buy it and want power steering, contact me.I have kit for it. It is no longer available from Deere. This is one tough little tractor and the only bad thing is the PTO does work off the transmission, so no live PTO, but if you do a little thinking that will not bother you. I would buy mine again in a heartbeat I have only good words for it. The fuel filter bowl is plastic and is prone to crack from weathering, but easy to replace and not too expensive from Deere. I replace the ag tires on mine with the turf style tires and it does not tear up the lawn when making sharp turns. I use 12" automobile radials on the front also because those 3 rib tires tear up grass. If you can get it for around 2,000-2,500 it will be a good deal with the 4' bush hog style cutter behind it. A mid mount mower was available for this tractor as well as a 3pt. hitch finish mower from Deere.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
