    Compression Values-39 B

    How much Paint?

    Ok, I guess now is a good time to ask also. I have a 39 John Deere B. How much paint should I use. I would assume it has about the same surface area as the ford 841, although the ford is short and squatty while my deere is taller and skinny. Any ideas? Brad

    Things dont add up

    I asked a question to you guys a while ago about my pto leaking on a 39 B, SN 78072. I was advised to get the rope type seal, found it in my parts manual...it was hiding in plain sight, didnt find it before. Now for the interesting part. I open up the PTO housing and I find my existing...

    CHEATING IN SCHOOL

    I know where you guys are coming from. I am 22 and am starting graduate school and I have seen cheating at all levels since middle school. It is not right. I havent done it, I worked for my grades. But, I feel that the kids of today are a product of their environment. Yes, many are...

    Plan of attack

    Hey guys. I am in the planning stages of preping/painting my '39 Deere B. Here are my goals for the tractor. I would like to make it look respectable (but dont plan on showing it). It will probably be kept indoor when not being used. It will not be used as a work tractor per say, but I...

    39 B valve assembly

    Hey guys. Figured I would remove my valve cover for the first time to see what Ive got going on in there. To my suprise, I have a broken part. One adjusting screw (B208R, page 18 in PC-330) is broken in half laterally, essentially in the same direction as the threads. I another adjusting...

    B PTO seal

    Hey guys. Ive got another question on my 39 B. Seems that there is a little leak coming out from around the PTO shaft. I looked in my parts manual to see what the part number is for the PTO seal, but according to this, I do not have one. PC-330,, pg 76, shows that they started using a PTO...
