    Float Replacement 1938 JD 'D' Marvel Schebler DLTX-16

    HI, Any recommendations of a replacement float for the DLTX-16 carburetor? I started my D yesterday and everything was going fine, and then it quit running and had gas dripping from the carb bowl. I tried pull starting it and gas was coming out of the exhaust. I pulled the plugs and they were...

    1938 John Deere D Carburetor Removal

    I was able to get the carb off, but I ended up lifting the hood and fuel tank off so I could get at it from the top. It wasn't a big deal since I had not bolted the tank or hood back down since I had the tank off years back to clean it. I could get a stub wrench on the bolt with the tank on...

    1938 John Deere D Carburetor Removal

    I do have a short wrench that I tried, but I'll definitely give it another go!!! And I'm just wondering what is the advantage to removing the gas line? Does it just allow more room to get at the bolt? I do have the top connection undone already so I'll unhook the bottom and pull it off.

    1938 John Deere D Carburetor Removal

    I tried and couldn't seem to get on it with either box end or open end of the wrench. I'll give it another try but it seemed that the box end wouldn't go on because of the circled area on the top left of the first photo. I figured there also wouldn't be enough clearance for a socket as I...

    1938 John Deere D Carburetor Removal

    Quite a few years back, my 1938 D stopped running. After buying a supposedly 'hot' magneto off of ebay and not having any success getting any spark, I sent the magneto off to Mainely Magnetos and had it rebuilt. I put it on a few weeks back and was very happy to see I again had spark. Before I...

    Oil Change On John Deere 70 Diesel

    Three. Main plug, filter plug and the timing housing plug. After I drained the cranking engine oil into the crankcase, of course. This post was edited by ROSchell on 06/07/2023 at 09:08 pm.

    Oil Change On John Deere 70 Diesel

    I have the manual but I'm not sure of the location of the main engine timing plug. I haven't really looked for it yet because I'm at work, but I plan on changing the oil after work today. This post was edited by ROSchell on 06/05/2023 at 10:36 am.

    Oil Change On John Deere 70 Diesel

    I'm going to change oil on the John Deere 70 Diesel. I know where the drain plug and filter plug is located, but there is mention of a third plug. What is this third plug and where is it located? Does it just re-fill with engine oil or is it a separate compartment that needs it's own oil added...

    More JD 70 Pony Motor Frustration

    Okay, so I got home today and before I tested voltage at the distributor, I moved the throttle ahead. It tested at 4.5 volts, like it did previously. I know, I should've thought to test it before I moved it, but I didn't. I removed the dash and re-tightened and repositioned the wires closest to...

    Okay, thanks for clearing that up. So the coiled wire is the resistor. If I remember right, the wire that goes to the distributor hooks on one side. Does anything hook to the other side of the resistor? If you were going to eliminate it, would you just unscrew the resistor on both sides and...

    More JD 70 Pony Motor Frustration

    Posted by buickanddeere: "Use an ohm meter to check the resistance of the resistor . Open means no connection , no current." You'll have to excuse my ignorance as I'm not too sharp when it comes to electrical issues, but if the resistor was bad, wouldn't it allow the full amount of current...

    Yes, the resistor is on the back of the switch. It's a new switch, used maybe 20 times now as I've been working on it. I know it's common nowadays for these switches to go bad, but how do I know if it's the switch or resistor? If the resistor burns out, you would have full voltage, correct?

    I would also add that the voltage seemed to come and go after our troubles started. I would check it and it would be 4.5, then it would die out and not start and it would be down to 1.4. Maybe we bumped the wire on the switch and it came into contact with metal when we replaced the gas line or...

    So, prior to leaving for work this morning, I quickly checked voltage to the distributor and got about 1.4 volts. Yesterday before the troubles, it was at about 4.5 volts. Switch is new from Steiners. Where could the voltage be going?
