    John Deere LA engine controls

    Thanks Jocco, that's the kind of information I've been looking for. As Tx Jim mentions, the operators manual is scarce on information. Even the part manual and tech manual aren't much help in regard to the location of the controls. The LA that I'm working on has 3 holes at the back of the hood...

    John Deere LA engine controls

    Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures and am not currently a position to get any.

    John Deere LA engine controls

    Thank you in advance for all replies. I'm working on a 1946 John Deere LA that isn't necessarily a basket case, but it came to me missing a handful of parts. I need a little help figuring out where all of the engine controls land. The starter rod and throttle control are where they're supposed...

    John Deere R

    That's very possible and even likely. It's definitely factory made, not home made.

    John Deere R

    That was my first thought as well, I just can find anything in the parts book to support it.

    John Deere R

    Mr. Thinker, I have two questions: #1 I have a 1954 R, it has a strange bracket on the right side of the driver's seat that I can't identify, it looks to be a factory bracket and fits too good not to belong there, see attached picture. It bolts on where the cylinder hanger bracket would...

    What is it?

    A zoomed in pic, fuzzy though.

    What is it?

    You're right, unfortunately the tractor and I don't live together so I can get a better pic next time I'm close to it if it's still necessary. It's not something that keeps me awake at night but I exhausted my resources and thought I'd reach out to the community in hopes they would know, even if...

    What is it?

    That was my first assumption as well, it sure enough looks to be factory built though.

    What is it?

    Hey guys, thanks in advance for any replies. I've got a bracket on my John Deere R that I recently acquired and I don't know what it's for and I can't find it in the parts catalog. It's just a piece of flat iron with an offset in it and it has a vertical shaft with threads on the top end welded...

    ring gear

    My apologies if I offended your vocabulary by using an unapproved term, I would tend to guess that there are as many terms for heating and setting a ring gear as there are ways of doing it. Rotating it and reinstalling it is beginning to look like by best option at this point, I fear if I get...

    ring gear

    Well guys, so far it's been a bust. McLeod Automotive won't answer emails or the phone, I've tried each twice and left messages on the voicemail. Pioneer Gear doesn't seem to have a part number that crosses to mine so no good there. I'll keep pecking away at it. I can't flip the ring gear but I...

    Thanks red, it's a start.

    ring gear

    Hey guys, I'm in need of some help finding a new ring gear for my 1954 John Deere model R. I'm looking for the ring gear that fits on the flywheel of the diesel engine, the part number is R342R and I think it should have an ID of about 23, I'm uncertain of the tooth count. By my research it's...
