1960 vintage John Deere 830 tractor pull wheels up wheelie

Our original 1960 John Deere 830 yanking on the sled with the throttle set to idle. Listen to the pistons hammering away. It came equipped from the factory with a 472 cubic inch (7.7 liter) 16 to 1 compression 2 cylinder diesel engine. The tractor weighs 12,000+ pounds and the sled it's pulling weighs over 30,000 pounds.

Yes this 830 is pony started and no not all 830's are pony started, they also came equipped with an electric starting system.

Hotrodx199 .. Precisely right, when it sounds like it's about to quit is when it is making horsepower.
