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.- PJH

“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.- PJH

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...- PJH

CB Radio
My daughter-in-law is a school bus driver. The bus drivers use CB's to communicate with the coal haulers. We have some hilly, curvey roads with poor visibility, and the bus drivers can let the coal haulers know when and where they are stopping. I have no doubt that the cb's have prevented... -

I put a brass doorknob on my 620, and a steel doorknob on my 50. Both were temporary, but they've been on there for decades.- PJH

Calf tubing question
Never heard of "left or right". I always used a short piece of steel tubing in the mouth with a six foot piece of stiff garden hose inside of the steel tube. I rounded the cut end of the garden hose just to ease my conscience. The steel tube kept the calf from biting down on the hose while I...- PJH

Battery Chargers...
Goose, in the meantime, watch the yard sales and junk stores for those old 70's era can openers - the kind with the built in knife sharpeners. Those little motors were common in a lot of chargers. -

RACOONS IN THE BARN
Yes, cats will get in the live traps, but usually only once per cat. That's still aggravating if you have a dozen barn cats. I had one big old barn cat that didn't mind getting caught because he knew that I would release him in the morning. After four or five times catching him, I carried him...- PJH

Horse Pulled sickle bar mower HELP
You got very good advice, but in addition - if you have a section that is not making proper contact with the ledger plates, carefully check the adjacent sections on each side of the perceived offending section. An adjacent section may be bent down and holding its neighbors up, making for a poor...- PJH

I apologize - I missed your comment about not having shutters for your radiator. It was plainly stated, but I somehow managed to read around it.- PJH

JD 60 radiator shutters
I have an early JD50 with shutters. I flipped the shutter assembly upside down and use a control cable to adjust the airflow. I keep the coolant temperature around 180 degrees. I very seldom have to fool with the adjustment. It runs much better at 180 degrees. With the shutters open, the heat...- PJH

1952 john deere a questions ??
Well he actually died of old age, but we always figured that we'd find him laying out in a cornfield when he didn't come in for breakfast. He once fell asleep on a Case tractor and turned it over when he dropped off of the bank at the end of the field. It pinned him down in the middle of the...- PJH

1952 john deere a questions ??
There was an old guy in our community that had an early styled B that he used to cultivate corn. It never had a battery, and the flywheel cover was missing. He used a big Crescent wrench on the flywheel lugs to spin it over. As he prepared to spin it over, he always said, "Now step back boys"...- PJH

Literature---New Holland Hay Mowers, Conditioners and Hay Rake Brochures
I had an old friend who had the conditioner that attached behind the mower. I saw him use it one time, and I think it was only because I asked him how it worked. He bought the entire line of New Holland hay equipment and we all had to go over to his place and look it over. It was a big purchase...- PJH
