    Restoring G

    Check the water outlet pipe for pin holes and it probably wouldn't hurt to replace it. From the picture of the engine it looks like its already missing a few chunks at the lip.

    1952 john deere a questions ??

    I've got a 1950 JD A that has petcocks, which function as a compression relief when open, if that's what you're asking about. They're located under the engine in the block, one per cylinder. There's an opening under the engine to reach up and open them in case you need to ever hand start the...

    John Deere B fuel problems

    Got a late model B that i'm working on. It wouldn't idle right and was surging really badly, would only run with choke; these forums and other internet searches told me it was the idle passages. Using the proper drill bits (no. 40 and no. 53) I drilled out the passages by hand. Now with the...

    1949 A No Oil Flow past filter

    Update with solution: Ended up pulling the oil pump just to make sure it was working; it was but it was full of crud in the screen. While it was out I shot pressurized air into the line from the pump to the filter housing to try and find the leak. Found a quarter-sized hole in the top of the...

    1949 A No Oil Flow past filter

    Need some help with an A I need to get going so I can haul it. Backstory: bought it locked up several years ago and got it running and it had oil pressure. Military moved me and it's sat for the last year and a half. Finally getting around to hauling it to my new location and after starting...

    1010 fender Information request

    Went back through and finally found the pictures I had, but I don't think they'll be very helpful. These are the only 3 I have of my parts machine (which, for the record, is keeping my 1010RS going so don't hate me for parting it out so poorly in these pictures) that include the fenders in the...

    1010 fender Information request

    I went back through one group of photos yesterday and all I have is pictures of the fenders on my RS. There is another folder on my computer I forgot to check that might have more pictures of my parts machine that has the RUS fenders that I'll check when I get home from work this evening...

    1010 oil from head gasket"

    That's definitely from the deck plate to block gasket; leave it be. It'll probably last another 10+ years before you need to do anything with it.

    1010 fender Information request

    The RUS has the big fenders of the 3 styles; there wasn't a design change on the fenders so your serial number shouldn't matter. I have both the smaller ones for the RS/R and I think I still have a set of RUS ones from a parts machine but they're in another state right now. I can send what...

    "Modern" starter for John Deere A

    I have a late model John Deere A with the belly starter. A bird or squirrel or something or other got into the starter before I purchased the tractor and tore up the internal parts pretty good. I have read several threads on this site and others that there are modern, solenoid-type starters...

    1010 oil from head gasket"

    I don't know for sure how common it is to leak there. I've been on this site for about 8 years and can't recall anyone else asking about this particular problem and the cause being that gasket. I will say that my tractor has a slow oil seep from that gasket but its not bad enough to warrant me...

    1010 oil from head gasket"

    Could be cylinder head gasket. However, the 1010 uses a deck liner plate for the sleeves. There is a gasket that goes between the deck plate and the block that could also be the culprit. Start with the easy things first--check your valve cover gasket and go from there. The head gasket is...
