FROZEN DRAWBAR! John Deere 3520 MORE Salt DAMAGE …NEW TOY!

Overview

Focused entirely on freeing a salt-seized drawbar on a used John Deere 3520, this video walks through the actual repair process: PB Blaster and heat attempts, buying a Harbor Freight 20-ton press to push the drawbar free, grinding off rust, outsourcing sandblasting, and repainting. Parts pricing ($200 salvage vs. $500-600 new) gets a mention. Best for used-tractor buyers weighing salt-damage risks and DIY repair realism.

An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors and family projects, self-described as non-expert but hands-on, expect honest trial-and-error rather than polished professional guidance.
