John Deere Tractors Garden tractor
why old John Deere green tractors are a better investment than new. My 20 year old John Deere 332 diesel garden tractor will last forever if I maintain it. John Deere mowers mow and mow.

you can never beat an old deere.
Sweet, a cab and blower. It would be so nice to not have the snow blowing back on you. 1450 hrs and running strong!
Nice tractor I have a 332 as well with a 50 inch deck, 42 inch rototiller,48 inch snowblower and a cab and it has 1450 hrs on it and still running strong.
I’m sure he’s seen the result of cost cutting and outsourcing the parts and labor to other countries.
the local cub dealer was yelling at a customer on the phone one day when i walked in– new=cheap crap -the dealer is the customer service rep fielding calls from irate customers-bigwigs always want to make a tractor cheaper for more money in their pockets
ahaw yea always. im looking for deck spindles. but too ive got some new dealer parts for jd. maybe ill post mine eventualy.
sounds like you’ve turned a wrench or two in your life. Good job saving an old deere from the scrap heap.
hi tunk, i own a 330 diesel. the only difference is 2 pedal brake power steering dual wet lines. thats about all. same motor and deck drives. this machine is a salvage wonder. i bought it resonably cheap w/ a mildly seized engine. after it was unseized the timing was out both injection pump and cam. had that straighted out the crank was a little out of round 1 jernal made a fast fix to it and runs great. has been in service for 1 yr. look i have parts for john deere tractors willing to sell.
i know what you mean. the reason why the really old garden tractors are still around is because they used extremely high quality materials. i thought process used to be if you build a well built machine people would come back for new. now its all about making something cheap so what they have breaks and they are forced to replace it. my parents have a 1998 cub cadet. its the worlds biggest peice of ****. its actaully rusting out. if you spend the money on an old machine it will pay you back.
yeah, the 112’s are great, just imagine how many lawn tractors have been built, bought, used, worn out and junked since your 112 was built.
ooohhh yeah, you know what I mean when I say cold.
i have an even older deere. i have a 1971 john deere 112. i just swapped engines recently i bought a replacement k301 short block engine that only had 1 season on it for $150. a just broken in kohler engine for $150 was a steal. i have a newer 38″ 2 blade deck, and a nice 37a blower. I love my little 112 its a great machine, although its a little smaller than yours. if anyone needs a tractor thats not as larger as yours a 110/112 or 200 series garden tractor is an outstanding choice.
Yes, it’s cold here also, I live in Norway
Thanks, if your in a cold climate like mine,(Minnesota) it’s a good time to watch craigslist for some great deals
Nice tractor, I want one!
Congrats! The 330 is like the 332, just without power steering. I would recommend getting an owners manual (ebay?) and I always think it’s a good idea to flush all fluids and change all filters when I first get a used machine (then your maintenence schedule will be accurate). A good online forum to visit is weekendfreedommachines. All Deere owners and many experts. Again, Congrats on the purchase. It’s a tough machine for sure!
Hi!
Very good video.
I was so inspired that I just bought a 1986 330 diesel from USA and will ship it to me in Sweden.
Do You have any special info to me? I really know nothing more about the tractor I just bought.
Thanks!

yep, its also fair that john deer keeps its prices in one line, no overpricing or underpricing, I hope this thing lasts forever
yeah, with low hours these diesels will cost you some money. But the nice thing is, it will still be worth money years from now too. So overall they’re a good investment.
an H3! Very nice machine! Yeah, those V-twin conversions sure are a sweet deal. And when that 18hp gets tired out, that 140 will still be there ready for whatever the new engine swap is, it will probably be electric, ehh?
you get what you pay is very true. 17 years ago i baught a 1971 jd 140 h3 have never regreted it. I have a full line of atachments for it. such as 48″mower deck 42″tiller 48″ snowthrower sleave hitch and 10″ moldbourd plow. It is 37 years old and have no intentions of replaceing it.the only week part in the 140 was that 14 hp kohler engine. my 140 is now running on 18hp twin cylender engine.
are you saying that thing costs $3000? That is incredible, it is a well built machine, we just got an la 125 with 21 horses, its a briggs and straton engine, with a 42″ cutting blade
The old adage holds true…..(you get what you pay for). They are as good as any lawn tractor in it’s price range, but really are an entry level machine. When John Deere first wanted to sell inexpensive mowers, they didn’t originally want their name associated with them so the Sabre name was invented.
Is the john deere sabre a good tractor?
I would love to have a 140 and 430. I think those are the absolute best of their eras. I sure wouldn’t mind have’n a Cub (red 782diesel) that’s a good lookin rig.
