    Power Troll Reservoir Question

    I have seen some A and B tractors with an extension screwed on to the fill port of the Power Troll. I assume this is to add extra fluid capacity. I am currently having issues with the power troll and live hydraulic pump on my 51 A. It appears to be pumping A LOT of air and foaming whatever...

    51 A Blew off Oil Bath

    Good Morning, I have a 51 A with a Wico X Magneto. Been having starting issues with it (again). But once started ran fine with plenty of power. Was hauling dirt with it yesterday and as I pulled up a steep incline with the empty wagon, nothing the A hadn't handled before, she started making a...

    Steel Wheel Wagon Gear

    Good Morning, I am trying to help a guy restore an old John Deere Steel Wheel Gear. We have the wheels off and instead of bearings in the wheels there are bushings pressed into the wheels. I attempted to find my General Parts Catalog but could not find it. The front wheels are smaller than...

    4010 vs 730

    730 for sure. I'm trading in my 70 so I want a new tractor with all the same controls I am familiar with. Properly optioned the 730 can have everything a 4010 does. Wide front, float ride seat, dual remotes, three point, live power and PTO, power steering. Yes the 730 has less horsepower...

    Tractor was WAY out of time. It started on the second rotation of the flywheel. I had quick reaction on throttle, power. It became my favorite tractor again. amazing that it ran at all as badly as I had it timed. Thank you all for the advise.

    51 Model A Hard Start

    Thank You All for the Help. Taking all the below advice I made several adjustments. I was WAY out of time and my ideas of advance and retard spark were opposite what I learned here. So I made the appropriate changes and timed it like a hand start with the flywheel cover off based on an old...

    51 Model A Hard Start

    I recently replaced the magneto on my 51 Model A and the tractor is very hard to start. It will crank and crank and crank. Blow some white smoke. Crank. Blow a rafter shaking POP out the exhaust. Crank. Then randomly catch and fire and run. Once running it runs good, fires on both...

    who has, or had a john deere 4020 ?, or wanted one

    When I was 8 years old we had a 3010 gas, 4230 diesel and 4320. Dad didn't want me and my brother falling off the open station of the 3010 so he traded it to his brother for a 4020 diesel synchro with hiniker cab straight up. That tractor and the 4320 is what I learned to drive on moving bales...

    I have a 51 A and use it for almost everything. Tillage, planting, cultivating, mowing, manure hauling and harvesting. A 51 A was the first model tractor grandpa bought new so I HAD to have a 51. Very useful tractor compared to the 37 B. Which was grandpas actual first tractor. But I still...

    1937 B Transmission Oil

    Could something thicker than 140wt gear oil be used in the rear end of a 37 B? What I have in mine almost has the consistency of grease rather than oil. Was thinking about changing it this spring but its so thick I don't think it would flow out the drain hole. The 85-140 in my A isn't near as...

    Anybody ever use a cultivator to make rows for planting?

    Sounds like you want to make a lister planter but I would recommend getting your own corn planter. I personally use a John Deere 494A and have had great results. It has plates that drop the seed into the ground and runners instead of disc openers. By itself it is heavy enough to put seed in...
