    I’m keeping an eye out for a copy as well. I’ll be interested in any information that you find.

    41 Model H inconsistent starting by hand

    Thanks, everyone, for the helpful replies so far. It will take a little while for me to work through these, but I’m eager to get started. In the meantime, I have a few follow-up questions and responses: 1) What is the best way to test the spark on a hand-cranked tractor like this one? Is there...

    41 Model H inconsistent starting by hand

    Hi, all. I’m a relatively new member of the forum and essentially a novice 2-cylinder mechanic. I have a 1941 Model H hand start tractor that was largely restored when I bought it. I’ve done a little work to get it running, and it runs well: it sounds and seems to act pretty good when running...

    John Deere H transmission oil fill location?

    Thanks, Dan. Mine is S/N 37024, so the fill plug must be to the right of the steering column as I suspected. Mind if I ask: what was the source of your illustration? Thanks! Aaron

    John Deere H transmission oil fill location?

    This is a silly question, but I have been through every manual I can find, and have not run across the answer. Where is the transmission oil fill on a 1941 John Deere Model H? I’ve seen a YouTube video that shows a recessed 3/4” square full plug on the left side of the steering column, but...

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    This was in fact the problem: either the fork was incorrectly installed, or the fork shaft wasn’t quite in the right position. I reinstalled the fork and rotated the shaft a few times until I found a position that worked. I now have the clutch adjusted and working properly. I should be ready to...

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    I think I’ve found the problem. I removed the fork, fork shaft, and belt pulley. all of the parts were free and in good shape, but I think the fork had been installed incorrectly. As a result, I don’t think it was engaging with the thrust collar properly, causing the whole works to be jammed...

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    I can’t tell yet, but I’ll get in a little deeper and see what I can find.

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    The pulley moves in and out a little… maybe a 1/4 inch or a bit more.

    They are, yes.

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure how long it’s been sitting, but apart from a few (I hope) relatively small problems, it’s been fairly recently restored, and has been kept indoors. It has good compression and acts like it would run if I wanted it to. The lever itself is free. Everything...

    JD H with stuck clutch lever

    Hi, all. I’ve had an interest in 2-cylinder John Deere’s for quite a while, and have run and used several. Unfortunately, I’m not yet much of a mechanic. I’m trying to correct this now. I recently bought a 41 H that has a few little issues as a way to get some experience. The first problem...
