    John Deere production log for waterloo tractor factory

    Yeah I can't answer your question, but I wouldn't wast your time and money on the two cylinder club research, unless you have money to burn and can stand to lose it. They won't email you back, or even return letters sent. I think they have stopped doing them and just taking peoples money before...

    John Deere Literature Archive

    I ordered it from their website. Then since I hadn't heard anything since the email that I got from them when I ordered, I tried emailing them 6 times with zero response, then sent a letter with zero response. I finally thought being how they did it when they stopped the magazine, and sent out...

    John Deere Literature Archive

    This is great. Now too bad someone can't take over the serial number research for them... I've been waiting since april, and have sent numerous emails to the two cylinder club with zero response...

    2-105 warning lamps and fuel sender test

    I do not have them in pdf form. I just took a picture on my phone and posted it from there on here. My scanner I can't hook up to my laptop either anymore, not sure why. I will try to dig out the bulletin sometime, but I don't think it had the wiring diagrams in it. Now if I remember correctly...

    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    We can agree to disagree, and I can't argue with some of your justifications against using loctite, although I feel that there are more pros than cons. I can also dislike your justification for just using lock tabs/plates or safety wires. You say that they don't call for loctite in the service...

    Dual alternators?

    I know he showed pictures and it doesn't look like they are isolated. Although, when I worked at the deere dealer, they had a 50 that had the normal generator on it, and then they had a regular negative ground alternator ran off of the belt pulley so they could charge equipment on the lot when...

    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    Lock washers, while I do use them in some places, are not good for something like this. IF you were to use them, do not use a split lock washer, but something like a star or serrated lock washer. Split lock washers have a tendency to crack and come out in high vibration areas.

    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    Well considering that at least according to loctites website, it wasn't available until 1968, it wouldn't have been called for in a service manual until at least then. Before that, things that needed "locked", used either plates/tabs or safety wires. It was also a "new" thing back then, so...

    Oliver 1850 Steering Motor Hydraulic Lines

    I know you got it going, but I just thought I would add a couple things about the compression fittings. First, I have used them on these and other places with success when either the original line can't be bought, or need something in a hurry. Second, I know at least New Holland and Ford used...

    Engine swap surprise

    When I swapped my 1850 to the 372 that I had, I also swapped in a 3 speed. I don't remember, but I thought that it came from a 1755, but could have been a 1750. I only had to turn down the end of the input shaft, because the waukesha shafts are longer. I do remember seeing something about the...

    Substitute for Type A transmission fluid

    I use marathon 577 hydraulic/trans oil in my 1750 2 speed, 1850 3 speed, and 2-135 white. The 1750 got switched probably 20 years ago or more when dad was using the cheap hy-trans oil from tsc, but it's been fine since. The 1850 I bought one and rebuilt it with all new clutches. You should be...

    Riverdale Farm Shop Contact

    Lucky you. I've tried calling them several times over the last couple of years for parts. They take my name and number and say they will get back with me that day or the next, and never hear from them again. I called a week later, and they say they never heard of me... Of course every post on...

    70 gas head bolt torque

    70 diesel is close with everything except the engine though... That's where I need the correct specs, is the engine. The only thing really interchangeable on a gas to diesel is the oil filter when it comes to the engine. Different bearings, different bores, different valves... All different...

    70 gas head bolt torque

    Hey, I've done the same thing before unfortunately... Yeah the sm2017 for the 70 diesel is close, but the engine side of it is COMPLETELY different yet...

    70 gas head bolt torque

    I have it, along with pretty much every other two cylinder book. The ONLY thing in that book that is specific to a 70 gas is the pulley brake adjustment. The engine, transmission, hydraulics, pto, is all for the 720… The book shows the head torque of 275 for a 720, and nothing for a 70…
