    Correct Colors

    That is a beautiful John Deere B! Nice job on the restoration. My father, who passed away in 2010, has a B just like yours and I grew up on that tractor, doing plowing, mowing, everything. I plan to restore it just like yours and hope mine looks that good. Thanks for the great picture and the...

    Need Help Pulling off rear wheels on a JD B

    That is exactly what I do not want to do. I did not think about calling a service to see if they will come out to remove the tire, pop a new tube in and remount the tire. That would save me a boat load of time. The tries are not loaded with calcium chloride or I would have taken the whole...

    Need Help Pulling off rear wheels on a JD B

    Thank you all for the great advice! I will give it a shot this weekend. I talekd to my JD dealer who said if I bring it in, he will charge $50 - $75 to pop the old tire off, put a new tube in and put the new tire on for me. I thought it was worth that. I assume putting the rear rim and tire...

    Magneto Problem?

    No. I took the mag off the tractor yesterday and I am going to check the distributor gears as I feel I may be a tooth or 2 off as I tried to retime the mag and got the same result, it fired up ran rough and when I went to move the mag to smooth it out it quit and now I can not get it running. I...

    Magneto Problem?

    I did not have the gears out all I did was take the entire mag/distributor of the tractor and aligned the mag and rotor the best I could. That would make sense to me why that mag slot would not line up correctly! I apologize if I am slow but if I understand everyone correctly I have to take the...

    Magneto Problem?

    I did replace the condensor and the points are in good shape, I regapped them to the correct gap, so I know I am good there. I am more curious as to how to retime the little gears for the rotor? Do I need to take the mag apart to retime the gears?

    Magneto Problem?

    I have a Farmall A that I replaced the mag coil & condensor becuase when it would run for about 1.5 hrs it would quit on me. I took the mag out to replace the coil and put it all back together and timed it, and it started but was running pretty rough, which is what I expected. I went to adjust...
