    John Deere 290 planter problems

    Getting ready for planting this year and noticed my 290 will stay in the trailer position, drop in the field when I pull the lever, and then immediately come back up. It looks like the arm that lifts the chains hits the trip lever when tripped which causes the planter to think I'm pulling the...

    ABG 200 differences

    One other thing is the differences in the front frame, again 1st picture is 1941, second is 1940. One uses a clamp at the base, while the other is cast at the base

    ABG 200 differences

    I'm just about done restoring my 1940 john deere model A and I'm getting started on restoring one of my cultivator sets for it. I'm noticing a difference in the 2 sets I have though, I guess different years used slightly different parts. Does anyone know if any of the differences pictured are...

    John deere model A generator

    Here is something interesting I found while watching the john deere film what's new in 1940 apparently this tractor also has the same generator mount as mine. It appears that where the guy in the video is pointing at looks to be some kind of brace that attaches to the very front of the generator...

    John deere model A generator

    Well the generator still shakes a little, but it is noticeably less. So I'm going to call this good enough. I evened out the spacers and made sure to crank down on them. Thanks for the suggestion.

    John deere model A generator

    The bottom most long bolt is not connected to the fan mount. It's is only those 3 carriage bolts, the bottom bolt is for the generator, there is supposed to be another one as well towards the back buy I just didn't put it back when I took the picture. I would think there would be another...

    John deere model A generator

    I'm guessing you mean the back hole as in the back where the generator mounts to the bracket, and I do have a bolt in it shown in the 1st picture, I just didn't put it back in for the 2nd. Even with the generator (what appears to be) properly fastened to the bracket and the 3rd top chrome link...

    John deere model A generator

    Timing is good. The tractor barely shakes like my other ones. The front end doesn't bounce. And right where the generator bracket bolts with the 3 bolts I have pictured doesn't move. It's really just the end of the bracket where the generator bolts on is where the shaking occurs. I wonder if...

    John deere model A generator

    My serial number is 491094, there is another spot in the parts book that lists the other 2 possible generator brackets which is B1593R. And that is what this bracket is. I guess since the generator is heavy and the entire bracket is mounted to just the fan shaft mount, plus the vibration of the...

    John deere model A generator

    I'm restoring my 1940 john deere model A with electric start. I got the generator rebuilt and I'm installing the generator bracket, once I got it all together I noticed the generator will shake once and a while when the tractor is running. The pullys are closely lined up. I took the belt off and...

    John Deere A air stack replacement

    I'm just about done restoring my 1940 John Deere model A and the air stack is rotted out. I cut it off and prepped the casting for a new stack, but the new stack I got doesn't seem to fit right. As shown in the picture the bump for the steering wheel is moved up about 3/4 inches. Therefore when...

    John Deere A main bearing shims

    Thanks for the rods. But I'm also wondering about the mains A302R.

    John Deere A main bearing shims

    How thick or how many brass shims should be in a shim pack for a 1940 john deere A? I got new babbit poured and it was measured based on a full shim pack, but my shim packs are not full. My packs all have 11 brass shims .003 thick each. Including the 2 other metal shims my thickness is .385.

    John Deere A flywheel pin

    I was looking at the flywheel on my 1940 john deere A and noticed the pin was severely warn. Half the pin was gone, it's a shame I didn't take any pictures. I eventually got it out by welding on top of the pin and after some wiggling got it out. But what I pulled out was a bolt instead of a pin...

    John Deere A camshaft wobble

    No, but when I was removing the bearings, I tried to weld on the races to try to get them to slide off since when i tried to pull them off, the ball bearing cage ripped off and all I was left with was an inner race. I'm guessing that made it warp from all the heat. I guess I'll just try to find...
