    J.D. Archives dept.

    A GURU - my BN is styled but is one of the early ones - small pto shaft etc. I was told that she came to the UK early in the war as part of the lease/lend program. She is on steels which I am told is quite rare. I understand the problems with fraud, etc, but I would really like to know a bit...

    J.D. Archives dept.

    I have a similar problem with my BN. The serial tag is missing but the Power Lift tag is there and readable. I emailed 2cyl and got the following reply. 'The PL numbers are listed for some B Series Tractors, but not all. It would be fairly easy to narrow down the search to a given range, say...

    41 H oil pressure problem

    The internals in some of the new gauges are meant for the modern high pressure oil systems. I had the same problem when I fitted a new set of gauges to my H. I had the old gauge to refer to. With the old gauge the pressure was between M to H. With the new gauge, it wouldn't come out of the red...

    LoedleTractor Seat,

    Freddy - I think your seat may be a Joy Rider made by the Fleischer Schmid Corp. It has a telescopic shock absorber and what I would describe as a metal tray with two large springs laid flat. The whole unit is adjustable. I can email/upload photos if you want.

    A J.D. serial no.

    I had the same problem with the tag on my A. I put mine in CocaCola and left it for a day or two. It was possible to read two of the numbers. Left it for another two days and another two numbers appeared but the first two had disappeared. Left it for another two days and the last two could be...

    Last H

    I think the last one was 61116. My H is 61110 and she has a warehouse date of Feb 6, 1947 and a shipping date of Feb 14, 1947. A farmer in Sioux Falls must have had a lovely Valentine present :-)

    rear US B steel

    The ones on ebay look good. There was a pair for sale some weeks ago and I recall a price of $3000. Cant remember if that was the reserve or what they sold for. I agree with the other gentleman, shows won't allow you on steels - there is the chance they will cut through water or electric...

    A Powerlift Serial Tag

    The man is right. The tag is on the top of the casting. Mine is definately a tag, not part of the casting, and appears to be aluminium.

    47 a jd

    You can tell when the adjuster screws down onto the valve because the push rod will go tight. As you turn down the adjuster, turn the push rod between your fingers. When you feel the push rod go tight you are there. Then all you do is back of 2 flats.

    Unstlyed A Cracked Wheel

    I bought a JD BN on steels 3 months ago with exactly the same problem. 3 tongues on one wheel and one on the other. I was quoted £800 per tongue for gas fusion welding but ended up having them welded by a reputable local company. It didn't come cheap! The rods cost £200 and it took a day at...

    JD B Oil Circulation

    I am rebuilding the engine on my 1942 BN. I have just put the head back on and took the opportunity to check all was working as it should. I have the engine cover and the fan shaft off. Turning the engine I get oil coming out of the two outlets in the governor housing. There is also plenty of...

    My H starts first spin of the flywheel with the throttle closed and full choke. Once shes been running for 1/2 minute The choke can be opened and she settles into a slow tickover(throttle still closed). Read Mr Browning's article.
