    1949 John Deere M T Steering

    My 1949 John Deere M T steering shaft that attatches to the worm shaft with a key (I presume)and is tightened with a hex bolt,has play,and needs to be separated to find the problem. The steering shaft,or rod goes through the cast iron dash unit. I can't figure out what is holding it from comming...

    Fuel for John Deere D

    Does it hurt to run gas only on a John Deere D that was made to start on gas,then switch to kerosine.?

    OT: this Indiana news story makes me very angry

    There is nothing wrong with an out house. Water is saved by not flushing.When it becomes full right up to the seat, simply drop big rocks on it to pack things down,when it becomes time to move it, get some help. put a flower sack over your head to keep the smells out,and watch where you step, by...

    doodle bug

    While still in High School (1950) I traded a 1937 Chev coupe with a cracked head ( a big thing at the time for a kid that was broke) for a 1938 Buick that was made in to a tractor,and a 1937 Packard sedan that was all there,but just wouldn't run. The buick had the original 3 speed, and a 4...

    carburetor

    When the carb wss rebuilt,and spent time in the tank, I assumed that nothing more was to be done,but maybe blockage accured after I installed it. It also back fires once in a while when starting. Ear protectors are a must,believe me. I replaced the Edison splitdorf mag with a re built Wico,would...

    John Deere D

    Thanks for the much helpfull advice. I will check out the D as time permits. It might be a while before you hear from me. As far as how I got the tractor stopped, was the back of the barn.Whew! It was at the lowest idleing point,and I think because it was just out of a long hibernation,it wasn't...

    John Deere D

    Last month I posted about a 1944 John Deere D. The help and advice that I requested was promply answered by ones that knew what they were talking about and I give them credit for the help in getting my D started after several years with it parked in my barn. One problem was solved,and now...

    1944 John Deere D

    I haven't gave up trying to get my 1944 John Deere D started,but nothing that I have tried so far has worked.It has a new rebuilt wico mag (and hot) new spark plugs gap set at 30,and new wires.I cleaned the carb out as best as I can. The float chamber fills with gas. I timed it as the manuel...

    John Deere D

    Thank' for the help Bob. I am behind on my projects,and might not get to it for a while. I can't even get gas to drain out of the bowl,so it must really be rusted,and plugged. Les

    John Deere D

    After a few years of sitting, my 1944 John Deere D has a new Mag,Spark plug wireing,and plugs. Next comes the carb. What do I need to do besides cleaning. In other words is it more than a simple carb to work on? Les
