    Looking at buying a 40C John Deere

    I came across a 40 C John Deere in my travels, It has sat for about 10 years outside because the owner died and the heirs really had no idea about how to use it or why. It does not have blade, but has jury rigged a 3 point brush cutter on the back. From what I can tell, the under carriage is...

    Question on 4630 power steering

    So, I have been fighting the return line from the power steering valve leaking and/or blowing off at the valve. Initially I thought the issue was due to an old hose, so I got a replacement from Mother Deere, and that blew off as well. But it did seem that the replacement fit rather loosely on...

    Question on 4630 power steering line

    The power steering return line on my 4630 started to leak because the hose was starting to deteriorate. This is the top line on power steering valve in the cab console and has hose clamps on both ends. I got the replacement hose from JD and put it on, but it has now blown off of the steering...

    $ On JD A rear fenders?

    What is a reasonable price for fenders for a 43 - 44 A? They appear to be kinda rusty but not too beat up as near as I can tell. Only going by a rear picture as far as condition. What should I be looking for in terms of deterioration?

    What is a 40C worth?

    So I ran across a 40 crawler that has been sitting since 2012. It used to belong to the father of the current owners and has been sitting outside with a cover over the exhaust since 2012, when the father died. As near as I can tell, the undercarriage for the tracks are in pretty good...

    Auction results - Barney Molitor Rice MN

    Well advertised auction in Rice MN. By and large it brought good prices yet some were surprisingly low and some were just weird. The JD E engines were at the upper end of the price range, an IH LB 1 - 1 1/2 hp not running but had reservoir cap and mag brought $300, which is normally top dollar...

    Question About Horsepower

    When we look at horsepower ratings of our old two cylinder John Deeres and compare them to modern horsepower ratings, the phrase I often hear is that "they measured things differently back then". This seems to be the go-to response for most people to explain, for example, why a 27 HP, or so, 44...

    60 Head Repair

    A few years back, I bought a 60 with the typical head/manifold leak on the clutch side of the tractor. Happily, I found a NOS head and replaced the old one with that and bought a new manifold as well. Since then, the old head has been kicking around the shop as I tend to hang onto such things...

    4630 Power Steering Follow Up

    So last Tuesday, the temperature warmed up a bit and I tackled the power steering. It was in the middle 30's, so it was over 50 degrees warmer than when it failed and since I had to work on it outside, I took advantage of it. Some of my questions may have seemed kinda dumb to those who have...

    4630 Power Steering

    I got a chance yesterday to spend a little bit of time on this. I got the cowling off from around the dash and the plate underneath and took a look around. As Tim S thought, the hoses are all connected, and it appears to be the seal on the steering shaft. I had picked up a seal and thrust...

    4630 Developed Severe Leak In Steering Column

    Was just finishing up blowing snow, when suddenly hydraulic fluid started gushing out of the steering column. In the couple minutes it took me to get it parked, I probably had a couple of quarts stream out on the cab floor. I have never seen a drop of fluid leak from there before. So...

    This past week there was an online auction in Redfield SD for a few tractors that came from a collection of a former JD dealer in the area. The tractors were all in nice shape but not in pristine condition. It appeared that he had them restored and then used them as there were some with wear...

    Question On B's Reduction Gear & Input Drive Shaft

    I'm putting my B back together after replacing the bearings on the input shaft. I replaced both bearings in the transmission case and the one in the reduction cover. My question is, how tight should the castle nut be on the threaded end of the input shaft? The reason I'm asking is that when...

    Late Model B, imput shaft removal.

    I've got a B with a trashed input gear and outer bearings as well. It looks as if more bad news is in store for the imput shaft, ir only I can get it out. Fair warning, I have an I&T manual but I thought I'd throught I'd get this up for the early risers before I dig through manual in the...

    "B" Brake Removal

    Doing some work on the tranny on my B and to get the reduction gear cover off, the RH brake assembly needs to come out. I've taken these out on my A before and they came out pretty easy, but this one seems to be stuck or rusted in. Both bolts and the nut on the bottom are off. Am I missing...
