    1946 JD B..rear axle outer seal leaking

    Pretty sure it is grease but not thick...too thick to be oil. Collects big patches on inner side of rear wheel. Coming out near zero. Changed all fluids recently. Thinking it is the felt seal that is failing. Thanks...

    1946 JD B..rear axle outer seal leaking

    My 1946 B is leaking grease on the inner side of rear wheel. Is this a hard fix? Looking for parts for a seal but not sure what is needed. Is a felt seal needed here? Thanks for your help.

    Power shaft loose?

    Something weird is going on with mine. Yesterday I took the B for a ride to test it for our up coming 4th of July parade. After getting back into my garage I put the girl in neutral and engaged the clutch. Checked the PTO and it was going around. Disengaged clutch...it stopped. Having a...

    Power shaft not connected

    Looking at the parts picture I think the cotter key is at the bottom of the shaft connecting it to the collar...the spring I assume is higher on the shaft.....mine is OK as it resists when I pull upward on the shaft.

    Power shaft not connected

    It appears that my 1946 B has a broken cotter key on the power shaft......it spins in circles. Up and down spring is still good. My question is simply this...can I get to the cotter key without splitting the tractor..which was suggested to me from a member here. I have no PTO or power lift...

    Power shaft loose?

    Just exactly do you mean split the tractor? Too expensive to hire done....beyond my knowledge....I found the parts pictures and a great e it is probably the cotter key near the bottom of the shaft.

    Power shaft loose?

    Oh no....that will mean taking the steering wheel off...and the tower.the 1946 has the gauges in the column along with the accelerator not sure but maybe the seat too.. looking for a parts picture to see how or what it should be connected to...or how it moves gears to mess.

    Power shaft loose?

    My 1946 John Deere B ....the power shaft lever just moves freely and does not seem to be engaging any gears....PTO is not engaging.... The tractor is new to me so I may not being doing something correct. It did grind a gear while running....so maybe it needs to be in neutral..clutch not...

    John Deere B won't idle

    I started to sand blast it, but didn't have big enough compressor....but there is a chance I may have sucked some sand into the carb after assembling things....thanks for reminding me. However, the carb was never removed........next step...remove and clean thoroughly
