    Tired. . .

    I told you wrong - it weighs around 1600 pounds. It's a Goodyear LSW1400/30R46.

    Tired. . .

    The tire is real - it weighs around 1100 pounds I am told. It was rolled in beside the H to get it out of the weather. It goes on a huge combine, possibly today. They didn't want to shut the combine down to change it while the weather was good.

    John Deere B axel lock up

    I have heard of worn bushing in the brake assembly causing strange things to happen. I would think that it would be more apt to happen when you were using the brake though. I heard a story about a 70 with a badly worn brake bushing that broke the main case. It had a load behind it on a big hill...

    John deere 50 clutch noise

    One of the guys in the neighborhood, a lifetime International guy, bought a JD 70D. He got off of it to open the pole barn doors and left it running in gear with the clutch disengaged. A broken clutch disc apparently got lodged while he was opening the doors and the tractor took off into the...

    John Deere 50 PTO Clutch slipping

    There's a lot to discuss about the PTO clutch. I have overhauled a couple and I still would study the service manual before I did any adjusting.

    Replacing steering shaft bushing

    Sorry Matt - we were typing at the same time.

    Replacing steering shaft bushing

    I haven't worked on one that old. The newer ones are surely somewhat similar. Remove the steering wheel. Remove the end cap from the front of the steering gearbox. Slide the steering shaft forward until it has cleared the support. Remove anything left of the old bushing. Drive in the new...

    630 Brake Drum

    I have removed the brake drum without using a puller. You would probably need to back the adjuster out to give clearance. I have learned that it works better for me to remove the entire assembly from the tractor. Three bolts and maybe an axle stud. That allows me clean, inspect and repair the...

    JD 50 hard shifting

    The pulley brake and clutch adjustment on your 50 is a delicate balance. If the pulley brake is too loose the clutch can "over center" and engage when you pull the clutch lever back all the way. The harder you pull, the tighter it will engage. If you are desperately trying to stop you will pull...

    Ruh-roh, that ain't good

    The fill hole on the tractor in the picture is in the foot platform. The oil level check plug is much lower on the left side. It could easily be over filled if the person filling was unaware of the check plug. A bad crankshaft oil seal, right side, will leak engine oil into the first reduction...

    Turkeys

    Forty or so years ago a couple of Illinois Department of Conservation guys got their truck and trailer stuck in the Shawnee Forest that borders our farm. I took a tractor back there to pull them out. They had trapped 14 wild turkeys with what they called a cannon net. The turkeys were in the...

    JD 50 idles and runs rough, revs up and down

    When you attach the "governor to carb" rod to the "governor arm" there should be a 1/2 hole misfit. I can never remember which direction is the misfit, and my manuals are out in the shop. Someone here will know.

    “G” crankshaft endplay

    If you engage the clutch, you can gently use the clutch lever to work the crankshaft right and left within the limits of the endplay. Bump the lever forward and back easily without releasing the clutch.

    Help with mower deck

    Lots of good advice! If your mower has a 2 cylinder engine, it could have a failed ignition coil. A 2 cylinder engine running on one cylinder will have an even miss, unlike a three or four cylinder engine. It will also have a very noticeable loss of power that really shows up when you engage...
