Hello Daid,

Looks like you are trying to implement similar to this :
https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F0000000AtLQIA0

You can try something like : 
//Suppose your sObject is Account
Account acc = new Account(Name = 'Test Account');
​insert acc;
​
DeleteJob dj = new DeleteJob(acc,2);  //object and years passed to your constructor
dj.executeBatch(dj);
