    1940 B refurbished

    This is a 1940 John Deere B that I refurbished. It took a great deal of cleaning, welding and fabricating, and parts replacement. I got it from a friend after he passed away. It sat for many years in his barn where the rodents had lots of parties. The time and effort that it took to get it...

    Muffler

    Hi, need help identifying. I have a muffler that I purchased for my 39 B, but it is too big and want to advertise it for sale, but want to know what it will fit on so I can advertise it properly. The casting number looks like A2130R and the number AA1778R is written on it. Please help, Sam

    B Air Stack

    Hi, I have a 40 B that I did just that. The bottom part was still in tact under the hood. I bought a new stack from one of the venders. I cleaned the socket part around the outside edge along with removing the paint at the bottom of the stack. I lathered the JB around the stack bottom and...

    40 B rear rim and tire removal

    Thanks Old Popper The method that you gave me was more than helpful. It didn't go all that bad in fact a lot better than I envisioned. Next question is how do you position everything to put them back on the cast wheels and not get the nice newly painted rims and wheels all scarfed up. Looks...

    40 B rear rim and tire removal

    Looking for information on removal of rear tires and rims. My 40 B rims are mounted with the rim clamps mounted to the cast wheels to inside. I assume there is an easier method of trying to remove the rims out over the cast wheels. I usually work alone, is this a manhandling task that needs a...

    40 B holes in casing

    I have a 40 B and found a hole, on each side, on the top of the rear end housing that is about an inch in from the brake unit mounting flange. What is the purpose of these holes that seem to go nowhere. If they are oiler holes, what do they oil? Thanks, Sam in central PA
