    John Deere 855 - Air Intake System Question

    Hi All, I recently purchased a John Deere 855. In doing maintenance to the air filter and eventually cleaning the radiator, I noticed that there appears to be an opening on the air intake canister and I haven't yet figured out what is supposed to cover it or connect it to. (bottom left is open)...

    JD 2040 - Starter / Electrical Issue

    Thanks Tx Jim, will do! The price was almost too good on the starter... but I think you are right. More to come from this end.

    JD 2040 - Starter / Electrical Issue

    Hi All, I welcome your thoughts and expertise with this. I recently replaced my 1979 John Deere 2040 starter. I pulled the Bosch starter out of it and found an off brand starter online for $120 that replaced the Bosch starter. I figured I'd gamble, as the name brand replacement appeared to be...

    JD 2040 - Starter / Electrical Issue

    Thanks for the reply, wore out. I was suspecting the solenoid the new starter came with may have been faulty originally. Rodent activity is unlikely, but it is possible, as it's in an enclosed shop with no known rodent activity. I think the wiring at the alternator is the most likely culprit. I...

    JD 2040 - Starter / Electrical Issue

    Thanks for the reply, matthies, you could be onto something here. I did notice the alternator was vibrating quite bad when running. I removed the bracket holding the alternator to the block, long bolt that the alternator pivots on, and loosened the bolt/nut that slides for belt tension.

    JD 2040 - Starter / Electrical Issue

    Thanks for the reply, used red MN. The machine has been sitting in an enclosed shop for the past 2 months. Before that, it was under a pole shed, exposed to the outdoors. Rodent activity is possible, but it isn't prevalent as we have 4 outdoor cats... I will investigate closer tonight and report...

    Allis Chalmers B carburetor question

    I experienced similar behavior in a slightly different Marvel Schebler carb rebuild and I believe replacing the plastic venturi that came with the carb rebuild kit with a metal venturi made the difference. I paid a premium. If you continue to struggle with performance, you may want to look into...

    Seat for D series

    If it's comfortable, fits, and works for your needs, I support it. I unfortunately do not have experience with this particular seat model, but I like the idea. If you end up going with it, I would be interested to know how it turns out.

    Trip Loader Question

    Joe M, Thank you very much for sharing. This is very helpful. You have a great looking tractor and I see the similarities in the loader type. That brochure is great too. I suspect you are correct. Upon looking a bit closer at the bucket, I found (3) sets of (2) holes that a bolt would go through...

    Trip Loader Question

    I should have noted, the bucket tilted backwards when the pin is pulled even with the strut on the side. I added the strut so the operator could use it as a handle to dump the bucket. I have since removed the orange strap.

    Trip Loader Question

    Hi Jim, Thanks for the response. These pictures aren't the best, but hopefully you'll be able to see enough of what i have going on. I do think you are right - more weight in the front could work. With how hard it currently is to pull the pin back to allow the bucket to swing and then push the...

    1957 D14 - Carburetor Question

    Hi Jim, That's very interesting, thanks again. I soaked the carb in carb cleaner and blew it out with compressed air. I also used a flywheel to clean the surfaces I was able to reach. I'm not familiar with torch tip cleaners... I will need to look into that. It did look quite clean by the time...
