Got the old John Deere engine installed

[Richard G.]

Not yet.
He may set up that engine as a power unit for his corn mill.

 

[BAnNC]

Richard G, I see a couple similar to that one as I go to work.

 

[Jim in NC]

Glad yall got it completed and installed. I know your friend is happy.

 

[Richard G.]

He is happy.
Thanks for calling me yesterday.

 

[Richard G.]

They were rare around here for some reason.
Don't remember seeing any growing up.

The Cemetery in the Township where I live had one back in the mid to late 60's. It was the only one I knew of in the area and we had a John Deere Dealer in our town then.

 

[J.Wondergem]

A tractor bone yard here in Mi. sure has a bunch of them.

 

[Richard G.]

We would really like to get in touch with them.
Do you know there number?

 

[GermantownGreen]

Are you going to pull the other tractor with the la in order to break it in?

You guys are going to have a lot of satisfaction in completing this project, I think that is real neat! GG Wes

 

[Richard G.]

I think that is the plan.
It has been a fun project.

 

[Leroy]

I don't think he could have a bunch of them as not many made with your engine. A lot more made using a Deere engine and from a distance unless you are looking at the rear wheel hard to tell a L from a LA that is a bigger tractor.

 

[Richard G.]

That is true, but many parts were common between the L and LA.
We are looking for parts for the belt pulley setup which will work on either one.
