    D Stalling When Hot

    You know, a49deere, I did play with the carburetor settings. You might just be on to something. It's practically a field roller with the duals on it! They're as wide as the disk, so the field gets flattened!

    D Stalling When Hot

    To let everyone who helped me know, the problem was the coil. I replaced it, and the old D runs great again under load. However, when it has been working and I stop and idle back, now it runs irregularly. My guess is the new coil doesn't work as well under lower compression. Maybe? I don't...

    D Stalling When Hot

    The fellow at the autoparts store where I got the new coil also said it could be the condenser, Cushman. I hope that's an easy fix if it is. The field I have to disk tomorrow is at the opposite corner of the farm from the shop. I hope it's an in the field sort of job. I'll find out in the...

    D Stalling When Hot

    I haven't pulled the spark plugs to look after this problem came along. I replaced them in August though, and the old ones looked all right. I called our John Deere mechanic (who has been in this tractor), and he though it sounded like the coil. I bought a new one this afternoon and put it...

    D Stalling When Hot

    Oh wow. Didn't know those were available. That could come in handy for testing the old reclaimed fuel I use in my shop's engine (1898 Reid) that's a mixture of who-knows-what and varies from batch to batch. I wondered if the delivery truck's tank wasn't as pure as supposed to be. Thanks...

    D Stalling When Hot

    Hmmm. Ignition might explain why no change to the carb's needle settings affects it. It started to miss yesterday on the way to the field, just zooming along at road speed. (!!) That doesn't sound like an overheated manifold or gas problem, does it? Hmmm. Thanks, Loosehandle. I'll look...

    D Stalling When Hot

    I'm having troubles with my '47 D. It has the standard all-fuel manifold. I'm pulling an 8 foot disk in a plowed field. Not long after it gets warmed up it starts to miss, pop and stall. This happens every half round in the 5-acre field I'm fitting. I stop, pick a few rocks, and then I can...

    Water in D Cylinder

    After sitting all summer I went to start my D today, and antifreeze blew out of the left cylinder. Last spring when I started it after cutting wood all winter it smoked white steam the first minute or so that it'd run, then as it warmed up it quit. Today it was obviously burping slimy green...

    John Deere 520 (whats it worth)

    Now's your chance to get rid of that box seat altogether, put the battery between the frame in front of the head, and mount a good riding pan seat on a spring off an A or a G. Of course, no one would buy it that way, but your back would be happier if you intend to use it in the field. I don't...

    Resistance in D Switch

    My D is 12 volt, and I made the mistake of putting in a 6 volt switch. Oops. The resistor in it doesn't have enough resistance to affect the field, so it puts out 17+ volts, and my batteries overcharge and die an early death. (They also undercharge at idle.) I haven't been able to find the...

    Which Manifold (for the D)?

    Interesting. Thank you very much for showing us. That one keeps the intake completely separate. Do you notice a horse power difference between the different manifolds if all else is the same?

    Which Manifold (for the D)?

    Interesting. Thanks. I wonder what they rated the HP for it or if they had to say the same as the all fuel model, since it wasn't tested at Nebraska. I've always thought they should have continued developing the D instead of turning out that underdeveloped R with all its problems (no center...
