1980s John Deere 900hc

Pretty much just got ahold of one. Not running since 2018. Ima go through it today, but there is a pile of attachments, and they aren’t the sort I’m used to. I’m used to attachments mounting to the 3 point. Yes there is a 3 point attachment but there is also a mid mount attachment. They all seem to bolt onto a square tube. Anyone have any direction to go to find this info?

It's for running more than one implement at a time. It's basically a toolbar --- attach different implements using a u-clamp.
Ok, 1980's, you're talking a nice tractor that can be easily worked on --- engine, battery, starter --- none of this new crap with all the computers, circuits and stuff to go wrong.
I'm sure you already know to change all the oils and fluids, lubricate all your joints, make sure the toolbar (square tube) and your 3-point are lubed well and aren't rusted up, etc.

Oh yea, it’s gf fsrm, and it hasn’t been run since parked in 18/19. I was told have at it, the fsrm will cover all expenses to include food plots.

Running newer tractors is something in familiar with. I’ll have to sort the bin if attachments. Do you think the bc stands for high crop or harvester / combine series

I'm not sure on that --- I run an old 70hp jd --

Its a Yanmar, high clearance tractor, Deere has a long history of putting grenade on Yanmar's.

Frequent on vegetable farms.

Similar to some old farmall mid mount cultivator tractors. Not too familiar with them tho.

I had a similar situation with an friends old JD 1010 dozer that hadn't been run for many years. We got it running but it needed track adjustments. It took some time clicking on lots and lots of google searches for owners and maintenance manuals but eventually I found a full "free" version that I was able to download. If you are in a hurry, you can often get the paper manuals from "the bay".

This video will start at the point that shows that tractor with a mid-mount cultivator and may better show how those implements hook up to the tractor. Good luck.
