    Selling consecutive serial number JD tractors?

    Thinking about it some more- the right high profile auction would probably find money which was looking for some novelty like consecutive serial number tractors. But good luck finding the right auction at the right time and place. And the tractors better not be junk.

    Selling consecutive serial number JD tractors?

    Can't answer your question. My grandfather bought an AC WD new in 1950 with a wide front end. While I was employed at the local AC dealer in the 70's I came across a WD at a local farm which was a consecutive serial number. It was also wide front and in quite nice shape. The farm was selling out...

    John Deere 3020 battery issues

    More thoughts- The ground cable is probably very short- running from the side mounted battery to the trans cover? Should be able to reach in there with an end wrench and check it/clean it/ move it? Maybe try bypassing both the ground and positive cables with jumper cables?

    John Deere 3020 battery issues

    Sounds like battery -singular- so it's a gas ? Where did you hook the jumper cables? To the battery? Did you try hooking jumper cables right to the starter? Sounds like hidden corrosion. Unfortunately corrosion can build under insulation, unseen.

    Silo for Saturday

    Indeed. It's interesting that the roof line of both the main building and annex are straight. The whole thing settled uniformly.

    Farm clean out items in Jersey

    Would y'all revisit this and tell me what I am seeing? Seed how far to the side the flat head 6 is? The drive shaft going through the tank is close to the side. The oil bath air cleaner atop the down draft carb almost looks like another engine beside the flat head 6. See how wide the front of...

    Advice on buying a John Deere 2020???

    Originally a good tractor. But now only as good as how it was used and maintained. This was not well cared for.

    Farm clean out items in Jersey

    The first loader on our farm was exactly that model. Dad had it installed brand new on a WD45. That was the big tractor at the time. When the WD45 got traded off the loader was retained and put on the WD, which grandfather had bought new in 1950. My cousin still has it.

    Loaded tires?

    I don't know exactly where you are. A friend in Owego just had tire and fluid work done. If that is of interest, let me know and I will find out who he used. I used to be reachable by email through this website. I don't know if that is still available.

    Odd paddles on the rear wheels.

    Questions-questions-questions- Did the ring of holes line up with and utilize existing wheel/rim fasteners? Or was some altering/welding done? The few bolts shown make it look like this is for show only. Can the legs be flipped by hand, or was some leverage required?

    PTO shaft adapter assistance

    I just purchased a shaft assembly complete with slip clutch from Amazon for about $119. The slip clutch end is six spline with two bolts which clamp the yoke to the shaft. The tractor end is quick connect. I'm going to guess your finish mower does not utilize a slip clutch as there must be a...

    Milwaukee cordless grease gun.

    I've thought about that, but have so many spots where one of them won't fit in.

    Unicorn D15 Industrial Diesel Questions

    It's gotten more difficult to find a dealer who knows or cares about getting AC parts. Where are you located? I'm in central NY and the closest dealer I hear about is Sandy Lake in PA. I've got to get into the belly hyd pump on my D15II as suddenly it won't hold up a cutter bar anymore!

    Belt on Woods 59L on AC C tractor.

    I used to run the 59 and 306 on a B and C. For reasons of comfort I now run a three point hitch finish mower on a modern tractor. There's no twist to the belt on this one. When the old belt gave out I was able to get a regular B belt locally/quickly. It ran for a year or two without issue. In...

    2510 overhaul

    No. You are correct. The 239 block is different. With some machining and different connecting rods, (so I was told) we could make it work. But would it hold up? I doubt it. Interestingly, the 219 diesel, turned up 10%, was much more powerful than the 202 gas had been. Enough so the same clutch...
