    John Deere M thermostat

    I think the shutters he sells go for around $300 or so for the M series. I have no idea about a t-stat though it sounds good on paper. I don't know how you would get one to work right in the thermosyphon system. Maybe someone else can chime in.

    John Deere Snow Plow

    Here is the snow plow catalog and just match it up. If it looks like one in there I'd say it's a JD plow. If not you know you have something home made. PC0228 Snowplows

    Best tractor for under $30,000

    The 6000 in our area are all out of our price range for what the local dealers have used and I haven't seen any used 5000 series that were not all beat up. We don't have many choices for dealers in our area though.

    1950 Model M brakes

    Best advice is to buy the owners manual. Many places sell them and it had all the correct info on how to adjust the brakes. A brake job isn't too hard, but try adjusting them first. They also can get a glaze on the discs and metal components that you can remove by sandBlasting or scuffing.

    #5 Mower Problem, please help

    I just put my reworked sickle on my No.5 yesterday. Don't forget some sort of lube on there. Tractor supply sells a graphite paste for this purpose and it works real well. My knife bar had a little bend I had to work out as well as a guard I had to adjust before it was smooth by hand. Throw...

    Scrap value of an M

    There was a non-running MT with a loader, no good tires, wheel weights, and good sheet metal for sale by me last year. They wanted $1,500 and wouldn't take a penny less. Weights is probably over 3,000 lbs. with a loader on it. How's the sheet metal on it?

    JD Model M Touch O Matic pump removal

    Do yourself a favor and remove the sheet metal and rad. You won't bash in any rad fins or fingers that way. The pump is pretty easily to rebuild itself. The system should have straight 10 weight oil in it according to the owners manual. Make sure you check the shaft that connects to the...

    L john deere clutch stuck

    Did you have two fiber disks in there, one each end of the driveshaft? Shouldn't be that hard to get apart. You do need to have a small amount of oil in the clutch housing where the belt pulley attaches and throw out bearing is. This is separate from the clutch plate and slider which is on...

    Steering on a MT

    Dave Cook Tractor parts and ebay for pins. A guy in Gren Mag from MD has new worm gears but they are not cheap! Not sure who else may have them but Dave Cook may as well. The pins are in with the heads peened over like a rivet. You grind them off then use a drift to bang them out. Put in...

    39 jd l

    I had this with my LA. White puff every few times but not all the time. Like a little hiccup or skip. Turned out I had an exhaust valve that was a bit burnt because it needed to be at least ground. I ended up having a complete valve job done while it was apart, or so I hope. Timing could be...
