    John Deere A won't start

    I thought I posted this, hope it doesn't show up twice: When I said "automotive type" wires I meant rubber with boots rather than the sort of braided fabric used years ago. Mine are solid copper. Plugs are champion D16. Now there is a new problem, the mag is dead! I promise you it was working...

    John Deere A won't start

    Thanks for your reply. The impulse "seems" to be working and I hear it snap when I turn it over by hand. I'put a tester inline with the plug wires (the kind that lights up when it fires) and the spark is there. I also pulled the plugs and grounded them and watched them spark while cranking the...

    John Deere A won't start

    I have a "41 slant dash A that will not start with the electric starter but will start if pulled. It is turning over just fine,it has good compression, all valves are operating properly, the carb has been rebuilt with every part new including the nozzell, the mag is hot and spark is good, plugs...

    Flywheel ring gear

    I recently turned one around on my '46 B because I couldn't find a new one and heating to remove and replace just as posted makes it very easy. I would add one thing no one mentioned: I like to use a brass punch to remove and a brass hammer to replace the gear. Not good to start off with damaged...

    John Deere B

    I pull a two bottom with a 46 B very "easily" in second gear. Power of the B for your needs would not concern me but "live power" would be nice for some of the jobs you mention.

    john deere b

    Must be a big difference in areas? I've never seen a running unstyled B sell in my area (NW OH) for $1600. I have seen them bring $2,000 and up running but unrestored, much higher restored.

    spoke wheels

    Cut offs will have an obvious weld where the spoke meets the rim. Factory spoke rims will not be welded but will look likea crimp.

    Rebuild a 39B with a 43B

    I too have a '39 B waiting it's turn at restoration which was not my original intention. I bought this tractor just for the head and to keep as a parts tractor for $400. It had one bad rear rim and a missing mag but otherwise was complete. I couldn't resist bolting on a good mag and pouring 50...
