    John Deere model 44 plow

    Thanks. I have the manuals for the plow. I bought plowshares and parts to rebuild the lift clutch from the Plow Guy, Tyler Buchheit. I'll add the Plowman to my list of resources.

    John Deere model 44 plow

    Merry Christmas, RustRed. Nice pic of the snow. Where are you? I'm in SC and we had the coldest Christmas morning in 30 years at 11 deg. Nice pic of plow in the snow. My plow's back end is not like yours. I have a steel tail wheel that is off the ground when the plow is up. I'm thinking...

    John Deere model 44 plow

    Towing it backwards would probably fix it. Good thinking outside the box.

    John Deere model 44 plow

    Thanks for the tip. Should the strap be parallel to the hitch? At first thought, it should be diagonal, but how would you turn a corner? And, why do you suggest furrow side?

    John Deere model 44 plow

    This plow has the metal rear wheel that is off the ground when plow is up. And, my '46 B only goes 10 mph.

    John Deere model 44 plow

    I started plowing at about 13 with a model 44 2 bottom plow. 50 years later, I got ahold of one and restored it. Plows fine. Problem is, when I take it on the road, it whips violently from side to side. I'm sur my Dad's didn't do that. Suggestions?

    John Deere B Brake Reline

    I have my brake assemblies apart. '46 B. Have had the drums turned to clean up. Those engineers sure wanted to be sure the shaft and gear stayed tight with a tapered spline. The inside of the assemblies are just a bucket of rust. Were the parts originally painted? What color? I plan to...

    46 B Rebuilt carb quits plowing

    Whoever said coil or condenser, get your gold star. Turned out to be coil. I had measured primary and secondary resistances to be about what they should. Doesn't matter. Poor spark. New coil will jump a spark 5/8 inch.

    46 B Rebuilt carb quits plowing

    Catching gas in container, under carb drain, shows 1 cup of gas drains in a minute. That should be plenty to keep it idling. I tried a test light in line with the spark plug. It shows a spark, but that's always a judgement. Is this hot enough spark? I cracked the inlet pipe loose from the...

    46 B Rebuilt carb quits plowing

    Thank you, Mike. I heard that about the carb. As I said, I've had that tractor for 25 years, WITH a DLTX72 carb on it. Has been reliable in the past. I suppose someone could have changed it out before I got it.

    46 B Rebuilt carb quits plowing

    Gentlemen, My tractor is a 46 B all fuel. I've had it for 25 years. Always, in the past has started and run fine. Any trouble, change plugs, points and condenser. Lately been having trouble fouling plugs. I have used Champion 502 for years. Finally bought a rebuilt DLTX72. Installed it...

    John Deere A - What year??

    Thank you very much. I knew I'd get some people with good eyes and knowledge. This was my Grandpop's tractor and I remember it well. I'm surprised it's that late. I was born in '40 and when I knew this tractor it was always kept in the barn. It aged a lot from 38 to 42, when the pic was...
