    1951 John Deere A hydraulic system with POWR-TROL

    Both engaged with PTO shaft turning. I might need to pull the pump and check for wear, etc. This is my first time working on the hydraulic system. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks, WL

    1951 John Deere A hydraulic system with POWR-TROL

    Good questions! The lift was not working and I found that the piston was seized in the cylinder. The throttle valve spring was also missing so I purchased and installed one. I freed the piston, buffed the cylinder, and cleaned the cylinder oil passage with compressed air. The POWR-TROL has...

    1951 John Deere A hydraulic system with POWR-TROL

    Removed the valve housing, piston, and rock shaft to replace o-rings and piston gasket and cup. Installed everything as originally. Filled system with oil and engaged POWR-TROL pump with PTO. I then engaged the POWR-TROL but no movement. What is the easiest way to check the pump to see whether...

    John Deere LA Tractor front axle assembly

    Have a John Deere LA with a welded front axle at about midpoint. JD L axles seem to be much more available than LA axles. What is the difference in the L and LA front axles? Are they interchangeable? I appreciate any info on this matter. Thanks, WL McCabe

    1948 John Deere A rough running

    I want to thank everyone who responded to my 1948 John Deere A rough running post. I took the info and investigated each item replacing parts, checking clearances, etc. I cranked the tractor and with a little adjustment it sounds and runs like a John Deere A. I know it has been quite a while...

    1948 John Deere A rough running

    JD A was running good but became hard to start. When I got it started it runs rough and pops very loudly through the exhaust system. I'm not sure where to start. I tried carburetor adjustments but it doesn't seem to change anything. Anyone have experience with this problem? I appreciate any...

    1948 John Deere Flywheel Installation

    Thanks to everyone for the info on flywheel installation. My largest torque wrench is good for 150ft/lb, so I used my impact which is 235 ft/lb max. The flywheel is no longer loose on the shaft. I now have to find what is causing rough running and very loud popping from the exhaust. It was...

    1948 John Deere Flywheel Installation

    Replacing the flywheel on a 1948 A, part no. A3264R. My shop manual shows end play of .005-.010 moving flywheel in and out on the shaft. I assume that the play is controlled by the lock nut on the shaft. I am not sure what the torque is for the flywheel bolts. Pulling down tight with a 1/2 pull...

    BF Avery V Carburetor YC6A

    Wore Out, You are right, it is a Tillotson. I had been looking at my John Deere carburetors just prior to sending the message for Avery carburetor. I had Marvel Schriber stuck in my brain at the moment. Thanks for clearing that up for me. WL McCabe Jr

    BF Avery V Carburetor YC6A

    Trying to find a top half for my Marvel Schriber YC-6A carburetor. The post for the float pin is broken. I've tried epoxy, but it doesn't hold up in gas. Is there a carburetor with interchangeable parts with the YC-6A? I appreciate any help/advice on this problem. Thanks, WL McCabe
