    My John Deere M - Ignition Story

    My restored Model M had been running well for 4 years. One day last month I had it idling and it just quit running suddenly. I pushed it into my shed and didn't get to looking at it for several weeks. After a few days I finally investigated this issue. I wasn't getting any spark at the...

    How would I determine whether I have an "M" or an "MT" plow if there are differences?

    Model M1 Plow

    I have a 1947 "M" Model which I have mechanically restored. Engine, clutch, brakes, Touch O'Matic etc. Blasted and painted. Yet to do the hood and grill restore. I have run it a few hours mowing with a grooming mower. Want to plow under some pasture and re-seed.

    Stay Away from National Machines - Olympia WA

    I do nearly all of my mechanical repair myself, as long as it is diagnose problem, buy part and replace. I've done most everything over the years. But, I can't (as with most) bore and machine an engine. Thanks for listening!

    Stay Away from National Machines - Olympia WA

    I undrstand what you are saying. A shop wouldn't see this engine all that often. But, the engine was taken into the shop as a long block. It was making oil pressure before it went in. The shop disassembled the engine. The oil gallery is bored into a lump that runs along one side of the...

    Stay Away from National Machines - Olympia WA

    National Machines not only srewed the job up, but he was so baffled as to why this engine would not make pressure even with 2 extra chances to find their mistake. Also each time there was delays in getting to work on my project. Finally, me having to nearly beg for him to get it going. After...

    National Machines - Olympia WA

    Stay Away from National Machines - Olympia WA

    Paul does not back his work! I had Paul rebuild an antique (1947) John Deere engine. Phone quoted me $1600 and charged me $2495. Mind you this is a 2 cyl engine. Got the engine back in the tractor and discovered it wasn't making oil pressure. Took the engine back to him for another $480 worth...
