Flatires- Thanks much for all the info and advice! Greatly appreciated!
My new (to me) JD 650
Hello guys,
Thought I'd post a few pic's of my 650. It has just over 2300 hours, starts and runs very well. I also got a 261 finish mower with the tractor. I purchased it for mowing and snow removal.
The only issue is that it needs a clutch. I have a strong mechanical background (My other hobby is building Street Rods & Custom cars), and a well equipped shop, however I've never "split" a tractor before. Watched a few videos on-line and read a few posts, just wondering if any of you have any words of advice from past experience? Also ant advice on a snow blower?
Looking forward to learning more about this little tractor.
Thanks much in advance!

Well I tackled the clutch job today! Really wasn't as bad as I was expecting, about five hours start to finish. Only trouble I had was re-aligning the back half to get the input shaft back in the pilot bearing. After a little wiggling and height adjustment in finally slid back together. Here's a couple pictures at the halfway point.

That's my 1957 Chevy 1/2 ton short bed resto-mod project. It's hard to see, but the completed chassis is behind my 650 in the one picture (under a plastic cover). It has a second generation Camaro front frame clip, ZZ4 Chevy crate engine, Turbo 400 and 10 bolt limited slip rear. The rest of the body is done and in primer ready for paint, I just have some metal work to do to the cab and it's off to the body shop.
