    JD 60 radiator shutters

    Okay, that's interesting. Never installed something like that. If I remove the original fan, I'd have to keep the pulley to run the w/pump. I understand the concept of installing an electric pusher cooling fan. Not sure about where the 195F stat would be? I'm assuming I'd put a sensor in...

    JD 60 radiator shutters

    Well I'm glad that worked out for you. I don't even have the shutters anymore. I don't know if there's a replacement system that's better out there or not. World sure love to find someone that sells a retrofit system to install a thermostat. Know anyone?

    JD 60 radiator shutters

    Thanks Larson. I dunno if a different radiator top would work for mine. It's got an inlet that looks like a triangle shape to it. I was wondering if I could possibly separate the upper water pipe from the water outlet manifold on the engine and put a thermostat inside it. Hoping the O-ring...

    JD 60 radiator shutters

    Thanks BnD. When you say retrofit, do you mean find a later model housing that will fit my year model? Or is there a company that makes these? Thanks

    JD 60 radiator shutters

    I've got a 1953 JD60 S/N 6023065 that I'm about to put the radiator back in. I put a new core in it and have it all sealed back up. (maybe I shouldn't have done that until this is answered?) It originally came with the shutter system for cooling, but that's long gone. I haven't done anything...

    John Deere 60 Standard, All Fuel, High Seat

    I've never given more than $200-300 for a tractor that's stuck. and with a cracked manifold that's another issue. I'd tell him with all the issues (known and unknown) I'd give him $250 for it. And if it did not have antifreeze in it, you might be replacing a radiator core or worse if it had...

    So I've got this John Deere B...6v? 12v? Where do I go from here?

    Thank you I appreciate that. Once I see if the wiring makes sense, I'll try to fire it up with a fresh battery.

    So I've got this John Deere B...6v? 12v? Where do I go from here?

    Okay, thanks. I printed this out so it can help me in the shop. I'm going to start with a working or new battery, but before I hook anything up I want to see where/what the wires go to. Thanks for the diagram.

    thanks Old. Hmm....yeah, that might be. I haven't taken the dash off yet; just looking from underneath. ground? You mean the alternator might need to be grounded?

    I've got a 1953 JD 60. I really like it, but haven't done much with it yet. Going to be a JD wagon puller for cutting brush soon.

    So I've got this John Deere B...6v? 12v? Where do I go from here?

    When a person starts out a conversation like this, the general line of thought is "Oh, boy, here it comes..." LOL Anyway, I need help determining which way to go on this. I've bought a 1949 John Deere B, S/N 251396. It has a distributor and coil ignition system. It did not have a battery in...

    A couple questions about a new, to me, John Deere B

    You know, I've had this thing a year or so and haven't gotten manuals yet. I need to get on that.

    A couple questions about a new, to me, John Deere B

    Aha! Okaaaay. That doesn't look to hard. Like you said unless it gets in the way of something. I'd like to have hydraulics, as I want to see if an old JD hydraulic lift wagon works. I'll keep this in mind. Thanks!
