    60 yr old tractors. Regular gas or premium?

    1969 era IH engines might require higher octane than other brands, check the operator's manual. Most Deere gasoline engines of that era required a minimum octane of 84 by Motor Method or 90 by Research Method. Those manuals were written before the current (R+M)/2 standard was adopted. (90 +...

    Repair or service manuals.

    That seems a bit unkind. Older equipment requires good maintenance and repairs to keep them going well beyond their original twenty year design goal. That does not happen without knowing how to use a service manual.

    Repair or service manuals.

    Service manuals are not novels that people read page by page, chapter by chapter in exact order from cover to cover. Service manuals are more like a dictionary or encyclopedia where people only read the line, paragraph or section that has the information that they need at that moment. The...

    What to do when your tractor comes back from the dealership with more issues than when it left?

    No one likes to pay for hauling a trac No one like to drive a tractor to the dealership for service or to pay to have a non-running tractor hauled in, but techs can diagnose and repair today's very complicated equipment much better and faster at the shop rather than out in the field.

    Oats and corn companion planting?

    Double cropping soybeans into wheat has been somewhat successful in regions of the southern corn belt with longer growing seasons. Maybe check it that works in your area. I would be very cautious about mixing corn and oats as the planting times, germination temperatures, the harvest times and...

    Does a Late John Deere A with Delco Distributor use wasted spark

    Yes, normal on all two cylinder John Deeres. It does not hurt anything and it would be expensive to eliminate the wasted spark with either a dual point distributor or computer control. Think half of a four cylinder running at only 1000 RPM, the ignition system has no trouble keeping up even...

    Market Status

    I agree. Newer equipment is much more capable and handier to use. Sixty plus year old equipment is becoming pretty much obsolete, so demand for repair parts drops even further. Domestic parts suppliers can now shift to making more profitable car parts.

    John Deere 4440 ran low on engine oil

    As a precaution, I would add a bright low oil pressure light to the dashboard to attract the operator's attention right away in case there are problems in the future. What was the condition of the engine before this problem, and what were your plans for this tractor? That would help us guess...

    Parts Guys??

    The front counter parts man job might disappear, but the online parts man taking online orders in the back room will be around for a long long time. Drop shipping to your front door is so much easier than driving back and forth to a dealership. Now-a-days a drone might even be able to deliver...

    Mower deck leaves winrow

    If right hand exit, mow in a counter clockwise direction to throw grass clipping onto the mowed side for better distribution of clippings. Overlap cuts to chop up the previous windrow. Raise the mower to give more space for grass clippings to exit. Try a slower gear to chop the grass finer...
