Will it RUN? Rescuing an Abandoned JD 650G Dozer

We’re heading deep into Eastern Kentucky for a high-stakes rescue of a John Deere 650G dozer. This machine has been sitting for over three years after the owner passed away, and it’s a mechanical nightmare: no cylinders, no reverse, and a 12-hour round trip on $5.76/gallon diesel.
In this video, we troubleshoot the JD 650G’s direct-drive transmission, use "Freeze Off" and heat to break loose frozen linkages, and test the rear winch. We also showcase a unique 6-way folding V-blade on another unit in the yard. Can we get this machine moving under its own power, or did we buy a 20,000-pound paperweight?
