650 power steering

[jd110]

I would be careful about waiting too long if you think you might end up ordering a new kit from deere. The kits for the 850, 950, and 1050 are no longer available. Individual parts are still offered, but the price of buying individual parts is much more expensive.

hey....I sold many 650's in the early - mid 80's.....great little 2 cylinder tractor...there was a dealer installed PS years ago...I recall $1,000...it was a system that only fillted 650-750. really only useful when tractor had a FEL. 755 etc...complete different system. Suggestion sell your 650..just recently i sold one for $5500 about the same price they sold new for..."A Deere investment"...

and buy a 2210...it has all the latest bells and whistles...

I really don't want to sell it, it does everything I need it to and runs pretty good. I was just hoping somebody had a junker out there that I could rob the power steering system off of and install it on mine. If I can't find a used system then I might opt for the cheaper solution... a bottle of asprin and a tube of Ben-Gay. After I get through moving the dirt I won't have much use for the tractor other than occasionally grading the driveway and plowing a little snow. Just not enough to justify buying a different machine. I'm sure there is a junker that exists out there, but finding it may never happen unless I get the right connection. TJ
