    50 clutch

    if the clutch brake is not adjusted properly then pulling the lever back will cause the disk to also engage and pull.....get the manual and properly set the side motion of the crankshaft then properly adjust your brake pulley...

    JD B flywheel questions

    I'd use the original john deere bolts and yes the flywheel would be loose back and forth with out any tension....Use the adjuster nut...tighten up thight then back it off about 1/2 turn...tighten to factory specs.

    I feel and 4420-440 loader will work with the tractor....I've got a couple of the side brackets that came with a 430 loader that may work for you....you might want to email me....tks Chuck

    Black smoke/stumbling when engaging cluch or reving engine

    There is some misinformation on throttle position. Pushing it open "does not open up the carburetor"...all this does is sets the fast idle position of the carburetor....the carburetor doesn't open up till you place a load on it and the load adjusters will not compensate for your problem...the...

    Black smoke/stumbling when engaging cluch or reving engine

    As per other post check for restrictions...before you work on carb take the bowl off the filter and be sure you're not restricted to the carb....I question this but check anyway....also you could pull the air intake pipe from the carburetor to be sure you're not restricted in air flow....I still...

    Black smoke/stumbling when engaging cluch or reving engine

    Your accelator ports are clogged on the main nozzle...so when you open up carb it pulls raw gas up the tube and is flooding the engine....much like putting the choke on. Pull the carb main jet and clean it out...you'll have to thread a 1/4 screw into the bottom to pull it out...don't try prying...

    JD B New Owner - How Do you Get Spark From this Magneto??

    520 jd

    Rick: You've got a nice tractor with all the extras and looks like $$$$$$$$ has been spent but my question is why it has the cheap utility muffler rather than the original or the deluxe. I'm not trying to be the correct police but this takes away from the restoration....I know the large size...

    Whoops....

    A roll back would work. For a newby to John Deere those wheels are a bear to work in and out and if you can use as is would be your best. I've loosened them and then had trouble holding them in place. I always had the collars on the outside but that's a preference. I'd recommend a service and...

    gorilla glue follow up

    Wouldn't recommend this in any form....you'll have a run away tractor as soon as clutch binds....I think years ago there was a process they used to cement brake pads....

    Whoops....

    From the road side...looks like a pretty good old standard use tractor....I noted it has an alternator....couldn't make out ignition...in my book a good mag would be a plus but if it has delco distributor okay...wico distributors are problems...the other post pointed out the clutch and...
