Alright, I just bought a 4wd John Deere 750 compact tractor at an auction but come to find out it didn't have a front driveshaft assembly. Even without 4wd, I hope to put it to good use with a pair of bucket forks and some sort of rear carryall with ballast. I would like to eventually fix the 4wd so does anyone know of a salvage yard that I might get a whole assembly. The tractor is so old that the driveshaft and other components in the assembly are no longer available through Deere. I'm in PA but will pay for shipping from anywhere.

That sucks to hear. I've had good luck on ebay for old parts. If I see a seller that seems to have a lot of parts for sale I've messaged them asking about the part I need, it's worked a few times. You'll need weight on the rear and tire chains at a minimum, loader tractors are helpless with 2wd and weight in the bucket. The worst part is on hills. I don't know your terrain, but going downhill in 2wd with a loaded bucket you have almost no brakes and it will get away from you in a hurry sometimes.

Got a bunch done the past few days. Borrowed my dad's tractor to drag logs out of the pile and get them close, then put it away because he's kind of particular and doesn't let me get dust on it. The next day cut the logs smaller so my little tractor can pick them up, carried them to the pile, cut them up, and threw the rounds on the pile. Next is the part I hate, splitting, hauling, and stacking. This pile is only about 1/3 mile from the house, so I haul it with the tractor and a small 4x8 trailer.

I started building a front end loader and backhoe and got the front subframe fabricated then the prostate cancer hit. My project has been sitting around 15+ years.
I do have a Willy’s Jeep tractor. I boxed the frame with 3/8” plate, triple boxed it in the rear for the mini steel rock dump body. Still in progress. It has locrites front and rear with 5:38:1 gears.

Brufab,
I used rear mounted forks for years. Though my compact utility tractor’s lift was rated at just over a ton, I moved a lot of wood with it.

I have three int154’s one with a 60” deck, one with the creeper with a 54” plow. The other is a loader, hoe project. All 2wd
I found out really the snowplow ain’t worth squat with out dual rear wheel weights, front wheel weights and ice chains.

We have a 9n with back blade and chains. Without the chains couldn't anything. 600 series we have has pie weights and trying to find a set of used chains for it locally.

Without wheel weights and ice bar chains 2wd tractor is useless that’s my point. Freaking heavy wet deep snow follows me. Every house I owned the driveway gets slammed. My neighbors get inches I get feet.

How much weight do you have in the front with this size log on the back. Looking at a set of 3pt forks at another auction.
0 weight on front. The log was freshly felled popple 10'6" I can't find my other pics wjere we would stack a ton of those smaller saw logs that are in the pics of the piles. Weight was maxed out on the 3pt hydraulics though any more then possible blown seals I'm thinking
These forks were the county line brand from tsc I believe. They are made real heavy duty be nice to have adjustable forks since not all pallets fit the dimensions of the forks.
